Summary "By Conduct and Courage: A Story of the Days of Nelson" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young orphan named William Gilmore, following his journey from a humble fisherman's life in a smuggling village to seeking adventure and a noble career in the Royal Navy during the age of Admiral Nelson. It explores themes of bravery, friendship, and moral integrity against the backdrop of naval warfare. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to William as he navigates the challenges of his orphaned status, fostered by the kind yet weathered fisherman John Hammond. The opening chapters detail his struggles against the local smuggling culture, his thirst for knowledge, and his instinctive sense of right and wrong, encouraged by the clergyman’s daughter, Miss Warden. As he grapples with his decision to leave the past behind, the tale sets in motion his aspirations for a life at sea, ultimately leading him toward joining the Royal Navy amidst the dangers and adventures of the time.
