Note
  • "'The Yankee middy' is a sequel to 'The sailor boy,' and traces the career of Jack Somers, as an officer, from the Naval Academy to his promotion to the rank of ensign. ... The author is again indebted to his friend, Ensign Francis L. Harris, not only for verbal details, but for the use of charts, diagrams, and works relating to the navy. The text books of the Naval Academy have been constantly at hand during the preparation of the volume."--Pref., signed by William T. Adams.
