Notes

Titles

First published by Sully in 1918-1919, this series -- or, at least two books of it -- were reprinted in 1930 by the Equitable Publishing Co as the "Deep Sea Boys" series.
  1. THE NAVY BOYS AFTER THE SUBMARINES; or, Protecting the Giant Convoy  -- "The true story of the jackie of today -- clean cut, brave and always on the alert. The boys join the navy, and are assigned to one of our big warships at a time when a big convoy of ships carrying soldiers and ammunition is about to set sail for Europe. The particulars of this thrilling voyage are given, including the sighting and sinking of several enemy submarines." -- illustrated by Robert Gaston Herbert. 1918. Sully.

  2. THE NAVY BOYS CHASING A SEA RAIDER; or, Landing a Million Dollar Prize -- "For many months a German Sea Raider had been at work in the Atlantic. Orders came to 'get' this monster, and our heroes were on one of the warships asigned to that work. The chase was a thrilling one, and ended in a running battle which lasted two days. The Germans tried to blow up their richly laden vessel, but it was our own gallant jackies who frustrated that wily scheme, and brought the prize safely to port." -- illustrated by Robert Gaston Herbert. 1919, Sully. 1930, Equitable Pub. Co.

  3. THE NAVY BOYS BEHIND THE BIG GUNS; or, Sinking the German U-Boats -- "Much is being written about the army and the aviation corps, but little is said about the absorbing work now being accomplished by Uncle Sam's jackies. Here we have a record of big-gun work in helping to rid the ocean of the U-boat menace. A story in which every chapter is of interest." -- 1919. Sully.

  4. THE NAVY BOYS TO THE RESCUE; or, Answering the Wireless Call for Help -- 1919. Sully.

  5. THE NAVY BOYS AT THE BIG SURRENDER; or, Rounding Up the German Fleet -- 1919, Sully. 1930, Equitable Pub. Co.

  6. THE NAVY BOYS ON SPECIAL SERVICE; or, Guarding the Floating Treasury -- 1920. Sully.
