A Strange Tale of the Smugglers’ Revenge
1 If you like unusual, gripping stories, the kind that you cannot stop reading until you reach the end, then you will enjoy the story about a customs officer. It tells of a young customs officer, called Harvey, whose duty was to prevent smuggling—bringing goods into or sending them out from a country without paying duty to the Government. That was common in England at one time.
