Summary "The S.S. Glory" by Frederick Niven is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a group of cattlemen who work aboard the S.S. Glory, an ocean liner traversing the Atlantic, and captures the harsh realities of their lives, characterized by camaraderie and the struggles they face at sea. The narrative introduces a range of colorful characters, including newcomers and seasoned cattlemen, reflecting the dynamics of a world marked by adventure and hardship. The opening of the book sets the scene at a wharf in Montreal, where a group of rough-and-tumble laborers known as the "Push" is waiting for job opportunities on the S.S. Glory. Here, we meet a lean young man, nicknamed Scholar, who aspires to join the crew as a cattleman. The interactions among the battered men and the newcomer provide insight into their lives and the camaraderie that develops amid the dusty wharf, illustrating the challenges and negotiations they face regarding employment and survival. As Scholar sign-ons for the journey across the Atlantic, the atmosphere foreshadows the tumultuous experiences these men will encounter onboard. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
