We should not expect to find a romance
of the sea in that eminently staid and
scientific service publication, United
States Naval Institute Proceedings. but
in the December number there is story
entitled IAN Unprecedented Rescue" by
Capt. Bradley A. Fiske. which would
make Clark Russell. Joseph Conrad, and
Morley Roberts green with envy. They
never imagined anything more delight
fully improbable: nor wrought more
absorbing fiction. But Capt. Ffske's
story Is the truth before which fiction
pales. On the title page Of the Proceed
