True Blue is a classic adventure story that will appeal to anyone who loves tales of exploration, heroism, and the power of the human spirit.The midshipman's name was Nott. He was generally called in the mess Johnny Nott. He was as short as his name, but he was a brave, dashing little fellow; but though he had been some time at sea, being very idle, his navigation, at all events, was not as first-rate as he managed to make it appear that it was when he had the honour of dining with his Captain. Captain Garland sent for him and told him that he would spare him two men and a couple of boys, and he expected that with them and the prisoners he would be able to carry the brig safe into Falmouth or Plymouth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
