Hands," AS it's name suggests it has
the sea in Ships" and it is in reality
a huge and very elegant picture book
of life on board United States war
ship. Six double-page and thirty-sev-
en- full-page drawings and many small
er sketches comprise, with a short but
comprehensive preface, the entire vol
ume, but the pictures are of the kind
that speak for themselves and one has
only to turn the leaves to see much
