Blue Jackets: The Log of the Teaser
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"Blue Jackets: The Log of the Teaser" by George Manville Fenn is a nautical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set aboard the HMS Teaser, a clipper-gunboat patrolling the China Seas in pursuit of pirates. It follows the adventures of three young midshipmen—Nathaniel Herrick, Bruce Barkins, and Harry Smith—and their interactions with Ching, a Chinese interpreter, as they encounter various thrilling and dangerous situations. With an engaging mix of humor, camaraderie, and suspense, the narrative drops the reader right into the heart of maritime adventures. At the start of the novel, the midshipmen are in a lighthearted mood as they prepare to go ashore for a day of exploration in Nyho, China. The first lieutenant, Mr. Reardon, warns them to behave themselves, hinting at the cultural tensions they may face as foreign devils in a land where they are regarded with suspicion. The boys justify their antics at the recklessness of their superior, and when they set off, they embark on an adventure that quickly escalates, from unexpected encounters with the local population to dangerous close calls with hostile elements. Through their playful banter and acts of mischief, readers experience the excitement of naval life, underscored by the overarching sense of peril that accompanies their mission.
