Set of 2 Philip McCutchan Hardcover Book: Convoy North &Halfhyde and the Admiral. Halfhyde and the Admiral. Convoy: North : The betrayal of a personal friend is the dilemma that faces Commodore John Mason Kemp when his convoy sails via Iceland for the grim winter passage of Norway's North Cape in this, the second volume in Philip McCutchan's latest naval adventure series. Carrying supplies and munitions to the Russian forces and weathering the arctic conditions, the convoy braves German air and sea attacks. As the damage and casualties grow, so the tension of the men above and below decks increases. Aboard the Hardraw Falls, from which Kemp coordinates the convoy, relationships between the closely confined crew are uneasy; conditions are difficult, tempers are short and each man has his own preoccupations. Halfhyde and the Admiral: When St. Vincent Halfhyde, captain of the steamer Taronga Park, is suddenly called to the Admiralty, he finds he has rather more to concern him than the cargo of textiles he was expecting to deliver to Valparaiso in Chile. The "request" is to take on board two "special" passengers-Mr. Mayhew of the Foreign Office and Detective Inspector Todhunter of the Metropolitan Police-their secret mission, to rescue the bom bastic Commander-in-Chief of the Chilean Navy, Admiral Watkiss, late of the British Navy, whose life is in danger.
