Haven't you thought thenthat you would like to know something of the lives of the servers oftheir country who pass the best part of their adventurous lives withinthose steel walls?

  There are no books published which will tell you more of the newnavy,--of the men, the ships, the huge guns, the submarine auxiliariesand all the hundred and one things that go to make up the fascinationof the naval seaman's life, than these volumes.

  In the first volume of the series which bears the above title NedStrong and Herc Taylor make their debut in Uncle Sam's navy. Of coursethey have to endure much rough joking. Ned, however, proves so handywith his fists in a notable set-to with the ship's bully that the boyssoon set themselves on a footing. From that moment on adventures comethick and fast. At target practice Herc-by a mean trick of his enemybecomes a living target for a twelve inch gun. A flare-back in theforward turret of the Dreadnought on which they are serving gives thelads their longed-for opportunity to show the stuff they are made of.Real books for real boys.
