Jack Hardy: A Story of English Smugglers in the Days of Napoleon Jack Hardy; Or, A Hundred Years Ago Produced by Al Haines "Jack Hardy: A Story of English Smugglers in the Days of Napoleon" by Herbert Strang is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the young midshipman Jack Hardy as he navigates his new life aboard H.M.S. "Fury" during a time rife with naval skirmishes against the French and smuggling activities along the English coast. The book paints a vivid picture of life in a coastal village, exploring themes of adventure, duty, and family ties. The opening of the story introduces Jack Hardy as he embarks on a journey to visit his cousin, Humfrey Bastable, before joining his new ship. Interacting with a variety of colorful characters, including a sailor named Joe Gumley and a farmer named Mr. Gudgeon, Jack learns about the local tensions surrounding smuggling while also helping Gudgeon after an unfortunate incident. As he arrives in the village of Luscombe, Jack's cheerful disposition contrasts with the underlying mystery of smuggling and a growing tension in the air. The foundation is set for an adventure that intertwines Jack's naval duty with local intrigues, hinting at the encounters yet to come.
