Book Description
It is August in Cairns, North Queensland, the tropical Winter and tourist season. Andrew Collins a 14 year old local lad and navy cadet has begun a SCUBA diving course, along with his older sister Carmen. Also on the course is Muriel who is the same age and also a navy cadet. Andrew has fallen in love with her and is very anxious to impress her, but lacks experience with girls. But on his very first dive in the open sea Andrew discovers that he is terrified; afraid of all the dangerous creates that inhabit the Coral Sea, and also scared of having to do training and tests such as removing his face mask under water. Pride battles with panic. Despising himself for being a coward who is too afraid to admit he is scared, Andrew keeps on trying. As he struggles with the challenges of diving Andrew also stumbles on an old family puzzle: What happened to his own grandfather, also a diver? Bert Collins was lost at sea many years before, but was he? Andrew and Carmen find themselves drawn into a deadly web of lies and danger as they try to find out the truth. Andrew finds himself confronted by the biggest challenges of his young life. At the same time as he struggles to keep his self respect, and while he agonizes over the ups and downs of his love life, he is also caught in a situation requiring him to make cruel choices which threaten to harm himself, his own family, and others that he loves. Before the truth is revealed Andrew has to battle with all his worst nightmares come true. Davy Joness Locker is an adventure to be enjoyed by anyone who was, or is, a Navy Cadet, or who likes stories about the sea. It is suitable for teenagers.

Book Description
'Rape, Ravage and Rant are the German watchwords in this war. Right, Revenge & Retrenchment shall be ours.' Alexander Scrimgeour, 17th September 1914. Most published war diaries have been written by soldiers but Alexander Scrimgeour was a naval officer who was killed at the Battle of Jutland in 1916 at the age of 19. But he had already left a legacy – his diaries in which he recounted every event with sincerity, risking court martial to record several notorious incidents. Among his revelations, Scrimgeour discloses the real reason behind the sinking of the HMS Hawke, the events preceding the capture of the infamous Baron Von, and what he learned from dining with his Naval Commanders as the ship's interpreter. He also chronicles his numerous love affairs and his anguish at the loss of close friends killed during the war. Now publishing in paperback for the first time, and updated with new material on his life before the First World War, this new edition includes much previously unseen material, chronicling Scrimgeour's life prior to joining the navy.
