Edition: Early printing.
New York: A. L. Burt, (1915). Hardcover - The second title in this series set during World War I. "Frank Chadwick and Jack Templeton, young American lads, meet each other in an unusual way soon after the declaration of war. Circumstances place them on board the British cruiser 'The Sylph' and from there on, they share adventures with the sailors of the Allies." In this book, they "battle the Germans in the Adriatic Sea, Indian and Atlantic Oceans, and Persian Gulf aboard a battle ship, torpedo submarine, and hydroplane." Ensign Robert L. Drake, the author, is an experienced naval officer, and he describes admirably the many exciting adventures of the two boys." Format 1 with titles in red. 254 pp plus 2 pp of publisher's ads.
Condition: Good overall condition. Usual toning to the pages, corners bumped and some soiling to the back cover, but overall a tight and rather attractive copy in illustrated light blue cloth binding, showing a submarine and a sinking ship.
