| "Inspiring adventure, moving
incidents over the seven seas, and in the air above them, fighting the Huns
from the decks of sinking ships, and coming to grief above the clouds;
strange peoples and still stranger experiences, are some of the things that
the readers of this series will live when they cruise with Dan Davis and Sam
Hickey. Mr. Patchin has lived every phase of the life he writes about, and
his stories truly depict life in the various branches of the navy -- stories
that glow with the spirit of patriotism that has made the American navy what
it proved itself to be in the world war."
-- Altemus ad.
In this very Horatio Alger-ish series, Dan Davis and Sam Hickey are two young boys who have joined the Navy and are ambitious to work their way upwards. Dan is the leader, and wins promotion through his hard work, courage, honor, resourcefulness, and skill; as he rises, he carries his best friend, temperamental red-haired orphan-with-a-heart-of-gold Sam, along with him. Publishing information incomplete. Originally published by Altemus, reprinted by Saalfield at a later date.
