A NAVAL VENTURE

A Naval Venture

The War Story of an Armoured Cruiser

BY

FLEET-SURGEON T. T. JEANS, R.N.

BLACKIE AND SON LIMITED LONDON GLASGOW AND BOMBAY 1917

In this book I have endeavoured to write a gun-room tale which will give a general impression of the part played by the Royal Navy during the Dardanelles operations, and of gun-room life under these conditions.

In writing it I have been greatly assisted by many shipmates--officers, petty officers, and men--who have been employed away from the ship, on various occasions, either on shore or in steamboats, tugs, or motor-lighters. From their accounts it has been possible to bring into the book descriptions of some interesting incidents and operations which did not come under my personal observation.
