Jack Harkaway

Origin
Jack Harkaway attended the Pomona School, run by Mr. Craucor and his wife, but soon decided to run away and have a life of adventure on the sea. He was accompanied by chums such as Dick Harvey and Harry Girdwood. Jack thwarted dozens of criminals and insidious villains as he travelled the world. He also competed against many bloodthristy rivals. Jack himself adhered to a strict moral code, as might be expected of a proper English schoolboy. He was extremely courageous and level headed, and believed in demonstrating honor and respect. He was a good fighter (his punch is said to pack the wallop of a donkey's kick), a good sailor and a good hunter. He usually carried a rifle on his expeditions. Later, he had a son who he named Jack, and the dauntless "young Jack" accompanied his father on further adventures throughout the world.
