With Beatty in the North Sea [PDF ebook] 

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This book is not a chapter of naval history. It is, how ever, a study of naval life in war from which the material for a chapter in naval history may some day be derived. The Navy and its life must remain to a great extent term incognita to the public that owes so much to it; and it is as much due to the public as to the Navy that an explorer like myself should give some account of his adventures.
