IAN HARDY, NAVAL CADET “A sound and wholesome story giving a lively picture of a naval cadet’s life.”--_Birmingham Gazette._ “A very wholesome book for boys, and the lurking danger of Ian’s ill deeds being imitated may be regarded as negligible in comparison with the good likely to be done by the example of his manly, honest nature. Ian was a boy whom his father might occasionally have reason to whip, but never feel ashamed of.”--_United Service Magazine._ IAN HARDY, MIDSHIPMAN
