Preface
This story is written more or less on the same lines as my previous story of naval adventures—Mr. Midshipman Glover, R.M.—and describes events subsequent to those narrated in that book.
The proof sheets have been carefully read by messmates of different branches of the Service, and I am much indebted to them for correcting many technical errors.
Practically all the characters are drawn from life, and the cruisers and gunboats, British, American, and Chinese, taking part in the various operations are actual ships under altered names.
I therefore hope that the story gives an accurate representation of life in the Service under the war conditions described.
