Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Life, and a Few Yarns I commenced this book with the intention of only writing on the Victorian Navy, and the chapter on the Constance. Is the result. But a friendly critic told me that it was rather technical and too impersonal for the general public, so I boldly launched into an autobiography, intending it to be a humble effort on the part of an old fossil to depict life in the Royal Navy during a service of forty-one years, as he found it. After all, it is only by the study of fossils that we are able to arrive at any conclusions as to the period' in which they existed. It is true that we have among the fossils, to mention a few, Tonge, Smollett, Michael Scott, Marryat, Chambre and Hannay, the last the author of that charming book Singleton Fontenoy, r.n., descriptive of naval life in the fifties of the last century. Nicholas and James are more geologists than fossilists, and only give dry details. Laird' Clowes has brought Up naval history to the year 1900 in a more human fashion, while Rudyard Kipling well, we all know his gems of naval life. The war has produced a new school, and I have read its works with' infinite enjoyment. I dedicate this ambitious work to the glorious Service.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States Naval Academy: Being the Yarn of the American Midshipman Here were stationed the quartermasters, who were assistants to the Officer in charge Of the deck, besides having their own especial functions Of stowing the hold, coiling down the cables, attending to the steering, and keeping the time by the watch-glasses. Upon them first fell the additional work Of transmitting orders from the quarter-deck to the forecastle, and thus saving the meces sity Of the Officer in command aft leaving his proper station. It was found, however, that the quartermasters had about enough to do in the other particulars before noted, and therefore the practice grew up Of detailing seamen - men Of experience selected from the crew - who could be relied upon to carry orders intelligently, to con vey messages between the two points. The tradition is that, because these men were stationed in the waist, or mid-ship portion, Of the vessel, they were called midshipmen.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sea Fighters: Navy Yarns of the Great War The Peases afe Navy people. Ever since Congress voted Commodore Pease ten numbers for gallantry in action at Vera Cruz in '43, there have been several of them in the service in every generation. During the Civil War, one of them went down in the ill fated U. S. S. Cumberland before the ram of the Merrimac, firing his last guns'as the waves surged over them; while another led the van on the U. S. S. Varuna when Farragut forced the forts before New Orleans. During the Spanish War, a Pease, Crinky by Annapolis nickname, in command of a converted yacht or spit kit as they were facetiously termed in the Navy, engaged and sank four Spanish gunboats in an action off the south shore of Cuba. Crinky Pease came out of that fight in great gusto - his decks all combed with the machine gun and riﬂe fire - a thir teen-p'ounder shell through his engine room missing the main steam pipe by just three inches - happy as a lark, without having lost one of his men.

I, the author, am an enlisted man. This preface is not to make excuses for my book; the work speaks for itself. Many sailors keep a log in which all important events are recorded. Were it not for the log which I have kept, I would undoubtedly have been unable to write this book, since much of the contents were derived from this record. My main object is to furnish the general 'public with as much information about the Navy as possible, and by having a plain education it has caused me to write the contents in a style of my own, but the book, however, contains the material.

Not being able, in any other way, to gratify the wishes of certain of my young friends, I have endeavored here to jot down such reminiscences as will not, it is trusted, prove entirely uninteresting. To give a sailor's impressions of a sailor's life, nothing extenuating, nor aught setting down in malice, has been the aim. Neither exaggerating its hardships - they do not need it - nor highly coloring its delights, whatever those may be, the very plainest truth has been thought sufficient for the purpose in view.
