The book has a number of excellent pictures."—Scotsman.

"As a sea-yarn, with plenty of rollicking fun, exciting adventure, and play of varied character, it should commend itself to all boy-readers. Mr. Hutcheson has skilfully contrived to give as a background to the story a very true and vivid and convincing description of the duties, occupations, and routine work of the boys of the British Navy, and it is this element in the book which gives it an importance beyond that of a mere story of adventure."—Daily Mail.
