Com. Yates Stirling Jr. U.S.N. is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows midshipman Philip Perry and his friend Sydney Monroe as they navigate the complex and perilous waters of late 19th-century China, where foreigners face increasing hostility amid political upheaval. As they serve on the U.S. gunboat "Phœnix," the narrative captures their adventures and the challenges they face in safeguarding various missions and lives within a strained diplomatic climate. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to the setting, the Yangtse River, with Philip Perry and Sydney Monroe keenly observing the potential dangers of their surroundings. Upon hearing about the violent viceroy and the increasing threats against foreigners, they become embroiled in a series of events that lead to a dramatic rescue attempt. After an incident involving a drowning man, Philip's courage shines through when he saves the drowning Chinaman, which leads to greater complications as they learn about a potential uprising against the mission they are tasked to protect. Their journey begins to unfold against a backdrop of imminent danger, secrecy, and treachery, setting the tone for an intricate narrative filled with action and intrigue.
