Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "Jack Manly; His Adventures by Sea and Land" by James Grant is a novel likely written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the main character Jack Manly, who embarks on various nautical adventures, fueled by his yearning for freedom and escape from a mundane life. Through exciting escapades, the narrative promises to explore themes of adventure, friendship, and the challenges faced in the treacherous waters and icy landscapes. At the start of the novel, Jack Manly reflects on his discontentment with life at his father's merchant counting-room in Newfoundland, desperately longing for adventure and an escape from his monotonous routine. When his spirited friend Bob Hartly invites him to join a sealing expedition on his brig, the Leda, Jack eagerly accepts. The narrative captures Jack's swift decision to leave behind his drudgery as he prepares to embark on this dangerous voyage, facing unexpected perils, including a fierce pirate ship known as the Black Schooner. This gripping beginning sets the stage for a tale filled with daring escapades and icy challenges, enticing readers to delve further into Jack's thrilling life at sea.
