The Three Admirals. Life in the Royal Navy in the 1860s. By W.H.G.
Kingston.
________________________________________________________________________
This is the fourth in Kingston's tetralogy that begins with The Three
Midshipmen, and ends with The Three Admirals. These books were among
the first written by Kingston, and were published serially in weekly
magazines. Kingston's reputation was made by these books, that first
appeared about 1860, and dealt with an officer's life in the Navy at
about that time.
By an extraordinary co-incidence, the three young men who had met as
midshipmen, get postings that enable them to keep their friendships live
even when they are Admirals. Another old friend is Admiral Triton, who,
is now dead and buries on the Isle of Wight, but they get to visit his
grave.
This is actually quite a long book, but it is full of adventures, and
you will love it as much as you loved its predecessors.
