“A jolly sequel to his last year’s book.”--_Christian World._ “The ‘real thing.’... Certain to enthral boys of almost any age who love stories of British pluck.”--_Observer._ “_Commander E. Hamilton Currey, R.N., is becoming a serious rival to Kingston as a writer of sea stories._ Just as a former generation revelled in Kingston’s doings of his three heroes from their middy days until they became admirals all, so will the present-day boys read with interest the story of Ian Hardy. Last year we knew him as a cadet; this year we get _Ian Hardy, Midshipman_. The present instalment of his stirring history is breezily written.”--_Yorkshire Observer._ IAN HARDY, SENIOR MIDSHIPMAN “Of those who are now writing stories of the sea, Commander Currey holds perhaps the leading position. He has a gift of narrative, a keen sense of humour, and above all he writes from a full stock of knowledge.”--_Saturday Review._ “_It is no exaggeration to say that Commander Currey bears worthily the mantle of Kingston and Captain Marryat._”--_Manchester Courier._ “The Ian Hardy Series is just splendid for boys to read, and the best of it is that each book is complete in itself. But not many boys will read one of the series without being keenly desirous of reading all the others.”--_Sheffield Telegraph._ IAN HARDY FIGHTING THE MOORS “By writing this series the author is doing national service, for he writes of the Navy and the sea with knowledge and sound sense.... What a welcome addition the whole series would make to a boy’s library.”--_Daily Graphic._ “The right romantic stuff, full of fighting and hairbreadth escapes.... Commander Currey has the secret of making the men and ships seem actual.”--_Times._ “By this time Ian Hardy has become a real friend and we consider him all a hero should be.”--_Outlook._ * * * * * A HERO OF THE AFGHAN FRONTIER THE SPLENDID LIFE STORY OF T.
