Summary "The Lost Middy: Being the Secret of the Smugglers' Gap" by George Manville Fenn is a tension-packed novel for teenagers written in the late 19th century. The story follows Aleck, a 16-year-old orphan raised by his uncle, whose primary interest lies in his historical writings. Set along a coastal backdrop, Aleck enjoys sailing but soon finds himself entangled in a dangerous situation involving a press-gang raid and local smugglers. At the start of the novel, a series of events unfolds that lead to Aleck's growing frustration as he battles with a stubborn money-box, setting a tone of youthful impatience. After dealing with his uncle's disapproval and facing off against the local boys who bully him, Aleck is reluctantly drawn into a fight sparked by taunts and provocations, further complicating his relationship with his guardian. The opening chapters vividly depict Aleck's inner turmoil, physical confrontations, and the exploration of themes such as duty, identity, and the struggle against unjust bullying within a tight-knit coastal community.
