Daft Eddie or the Smugglers of Strangford Lough by Derek A Rowlinson

Daft Eddie; or, the Smugglers of Strangford Lough: A Tale of Killinchy first appeared as a serial in the author's own newspaper, the North Down Herald and Bangor Gazette, in 1889. Based on actual events in the Ards peninsula, County Down, during the Eighteenth Century, it tells the tale of a band of local smugglers that went by the name of 'The Merry Hearts of Down'. But its criminal activities extended well beyond mere smuggling, and in his novel Lyttle relates a story of kidnap, extortion and murder. The eponymous hero, Eddie, is a simple lad from Mahee Island in Strangford Lough who shadows the gang's every move and aids in the search for an abducted magistrate and his daughter. This new edition includes an introduction to the author and his work, additional footnotes, and a glossary of words used in the dialogue.
