# "Roving Jack, the Pirate Hunter" This page contains a wood-engraved illustration with accompanying prose text below. The image depicts a dramatic domestic scene: a woman and children confront a costumed character (presumably "Roving Jack") who swings from a rope while brandishing what appears to be a cutlass, with a dog present. The prose discusses highwaymen discussing poaching and deer-stalking, with dialogue between characters named Tom King and Fielder. The text references "the moonlit scene" and contrasts "chasing the wild stag" with "bullying a fat farmer." A footer advertises other penny dreadful serials available.
