Ian Hardy's career in H.M. Navy is told in four volumes, which are

IAN HARDY, NAVAL CADET 



" A sound and wholesome story giving a lively picture of a naval cadet's life." 



— Birtningham Gazette. 



"A very wholesome book for boys, and the lurking danger of lan's ill deeds being imitated 

 may be regarded as negligible in comparison with the good likely to be doue by the example ot 

 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 



"A jolly sequel to his last year's hook."— Christian World. 



"The 'real thing.' . . . Certain to enthral boys of almost any age who love stories ot 

 British pluck. "—Observer. 



"Commander E. Hamilton Currey, R.N., is becomi n g a serious rival to King ston 

 as a writer of sea stories. Just as a former generation revelled in Kingston's doings of bis 

 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 laft Hardy^ Midshipman. The present instalment of his stirring history is breezily 

 yix\\.X.^vi,"—Yorkshirt 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 Cnrrey bears worthily the mantle of 

 Kingston and Captain lli.SLnyzX." — 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 scries without being keenly 

 desirous of reading all the oih<tis."—She^e/d 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."— i?«:/y 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."
