"Polly's Southern Cruise" by Lillian Elizabeth Roy is a fiction novel written in the early 20th century. Centered around the adventures of two young women, Polly Brewster and her friend Eleanor Maynard, the narrative focuses on their excitement and challenges as they embark on a yachting trip from New York to South America aboard Mr. Dalken's yacht. Their journey is filled with personal dynamics, including the arrival of notable characters like Mrs. Courtney and Elizabeth Dalken, which leads to both camaraderie and conflicts among the group. The opening of the novel presents Polly and Eleanor as they finalize plans for the cruise and prepare to present their ideas to their friends. They intend to negotiate the itinerary for their journey while dealing with the complexities of friendship and rivalry, especially concerning Elizabeth and her relationships.
