Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Naval Yarns These stories, light though they be, give a conception of what it is to search the seas in a submarine, and the bravery of the youngest branch of the N avy - the Royal Naval Air Service - is palpable even from the modest ac counts given by these seaplane pilots. They have confidence in their supremacy over the enemy, and are all smiles even in the face of imminent danger. It shows that often British coolness and pluck have saved a machine as well as the lives of men. Of special interest is the talk with the captain of a minesweeper While he is on the bridge of his vessel. he tells of the many neutral lives that have been saved by English seamen at the risk of their own vessels and the lives of their crews. Noteworthy is it that Great Britain in the course of this war has not been the cause of the loss of a single neutral life. Mines have been placed at random by Germany's pirate craft.
