Summary: "Cutlass and Cudgel" by George Manville Fenn is a historical adventure novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows an inquisitive midshipman named Archibald Raystoke, who finds himself involved in a thrilling escapade involving smugglers and pirates, as he is taken prisoner by a gang while on duty aboard a cutter in Wessex. The narrative is rich with humor and human interest, demonstrating youthful friendships across class divides amidst the backdrop of maritime law enforcement. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Archibald Raystoke as he takes watch on the cutter "White Hawk", alongside a comical sailor named Dirty Dick. The scene quickly unfolds with a humorous encounter involving a cow swimming after falling off a nearby cliff, which adds levity to the seriousness of their smuggling hunt. The dynamics between Archibald and Dick highlight their camaraderie as they navigate their surprising duties, including the absurdity of milking the cow to procure some fresh milk. However, the playful tone shifts when Archibald eventually becomes a prisoner of smugglers and befriends Ram, the son of one of the chief rogues, solidifying the theme of unexpected friendships.
