Summary "The Young Wireless Operator—With the U. S. Secret Service" by Lewis E. Theiss is a fictional adventure written in the early 20th century. The story follows young Roy Mercer, a wireless operator, and his friend Willie Brown as they embark on thrilling escapades regarding smuggling and secret service operations. The narrative intertwines elements of youthful ingenuity, camaraderie, and the excitement of detecting crime within the bustling backdrop of early 20th-century New York. The opening of the book introduces the readers to a scene at the Hudson River as a coastwise steamer named "Lycoming" docks. Roy Mercer, the wireless operator, is eagerly waiting for his friend Willie, who struggles through the crowd with a heavy suitcase—much to the delight of the wireless operator. The two then catch up, discussing their backgrounds and aspirations, specifically Willie's desire to work in the Secret Service. As the chapter progresses, Willie expresses disappointment over his perceived lack of opportunities due to his size. However, excitement brews as he unexpectedly helps a Secret Service agent named Sheridan, leading him to a series of thrilling detective activities focused on uncovering a wool-smuggling ring, hinting at the adventures to unfold.
