AbstractHistoryArchive Description

On back cover series No.1: The J. E. Macdonnell Classic Library. Here is a new-look series of books by Australia's finest writer of sea stories, reprints of his earliest novels which have long been unavailable. Presented in a new format, with distinctive silver covers, this series is the answer to the requests of the author's many readers. Here are exciting examples of the storyteller's art, engrossing stories of naval action during the Second World War, when the author's most famous characters - Bentley, Holland and Brady - first appeared in print. And when you have read the early tales, you will also want to read the continuing exploits of these heroic sea warriors in the uniform editions of the Sea Adventure Library.

'They were four hundred yards clear to seaward now, hidden in the night. Walker got the idea, and a search-light, stupidly lighting on one of the enemy destroyers and holding her there as if for identification, clinched his thought.

"Skipper!" he jerked urgently. "Put the sub. on the wheel and let me get down to the six-pounder!"

'He had to stop the enemy getting away scot-free from this NIGHT ENCOUNTER! '(Publication summary)

There were many gunners on the ship, many asdic-operators, many engineers; but there was only one surgeon, Dr Landis reminded himself. Was the captain's responsibility more significant than holding a man's life literally in your fingers? He would see. So would they.' Sydney : Horwitz , 1971

Now the train of successes had been broken. They had six big guns and multiplicity of other weapons: they should have got those Jap aircraft. As it was a lucky shot from the Oerlikon saved them from disaster. It was not seamanship or training: simply a problem of morale.

The torpedo might be a dud. there might not have been time for the vanes of the firing pistol to screw right back against the detonator. The torpedo could have been dropped at too acute an angle, it might not regain the correct depth in time. The target ship might slip its doom. The possibilities were abruptly and irrevocably negatived in a gigantic WHAM of sound. 'Wind Rode' reeled as if she had been clubbed...8 Liberty ships. Though not large, the convoy was invaluable - and Captain Peter Bentley's five Fleet destroyers were going to have to fight to the death to protect these merchantmen from the savage Jap attack...' - From frontmatter and back cover Sydney : Horwitz , 1974

He was a man, and so not perfect. A friend's sister was safe with him but this moral and biological restriction did not extend to all sisters. In port he drank a good deal. Sometimes, but not often, he made mistakes. But, in this pattern, there were two staunch, straight strands: though not overtly religious, he did not ever blaspheme; and to his shipmates and his captain he was unimpeachably loyal. These traits caused him to risk his life often...and now he was faced with the biggest crisis of his life... - back cover (Horwitz, 1963) Sydney : Horwitz , 1974

"You're responsible," his first-lieutenant told the captain, Dutchy Holland. "You've made these men what they are. You toughened them. They're restless now."

Neither officer knew that Utmost was to see action soon...against a fast, heavily-gunned jap destryer on a vital mission!' - back cover (1964)

However, the Allied advance had cut off these killers of the deep from their fuel supplies. Their range was over-extended; their crews were tired; they were sustaining heavy losses at the hands of Allied destroyers. The the Imperial Japanese Navy enlisted the help of a truly brilliant engineer. They established under-water fuel supplies in the lagoon of Mantigui Island. Now they were potent once more - Allied shipping losses increased alarmingly! Dutchy Holland was given the job. His mission, to get H.M.A.S. Jackal into this hornet's nest and destroy the fuel tanks. It was a mission from which Dutchy entertained scant hope of returning...' - back cover (1970). Cammeray : Horwitz , 1978

'Commander William Mallet tried hard to rehabilitate himself after being dismissed from his destroyer for drunkenness. Ignored by his fellow officers and subjected to the indignity of minor duties, he pestered the naval hierarchy to give him another ship. The Wanderer was old and worn and manned mostly by misfits. His job was to work up Wanderer to fighting efficiency in time to participate in the American invasion of Tarawa Island.' - back cover
