An unnamed British Naval officer in the Secret Service, known as Lt.Com. XV, is celebrated for exploits that read like fiction. The narrative highlights his daring missions, ingenuity, and perilous assignments that captivate readers while preserving his real identity.
Captain Pimply of the Royal Navy infiltrates a French cruiser as an undercover emissary to influence armistice terms amid the Oran crisis. He uses disguise to board the ship in Toulon while evading Vichy guards and gathering intelligence, aided by covert wireless reporting and bluff. The mission tests loyalty, propaganda, and the balance of sea power in a perilous wartime moment.
In a wartime insider tale, Pimply and De Thamis plot a daring seizure of a French cruiser aboard a port, using steam and secrecy to free the ship. They corral loyalists, overpower the captain, and slip past shore batteries, handing the vessel to Free French hands under De Thamis.
