About this book
Along the Solent, the village of Alverstoke lives by fishing, gardening and a profitable trade in smuggled goods. Eighteen-year-old Lucy Walford, daughter of a successful smuggler, attracts the attention of two very different men: her cousin, Lieutenant Edward Walford, and George Leicester, captain of the merchant schooner Industry. Lucy favours George, but his uncertainty keeps him from asking the question she hopes to hear.
Harry Collingwood combines this courtship with a sea adventure for younger readers, full of working ships and danger afloat. An encounter aboard the Aurora shows George directing the crew as an armed schooner closes in under a black flag. Changing wind, sail handling and careful use of ammunition give the encounter its practical detail.
