OF events aboardship on cruise. could

what 1t accomplishcs when off parade
As Admiral Badger says: 1T was TO a
ship still OF the first line, forming one OF
an active fleet OF similar vessels, that our
author has brought his powers of OBJ
servation and description" And while
the Admiral says that 1t is possible that
a longer experience on board might have
led 10 a modification OF some OF the au-
thor's impressions, the Log presents, as
IL stands. an interesting and remark
ably accurate description OF tho life and
work on board a modern hattleshp"
With an endorsement like this. inc
reader feels himself at liberty to pro-
cesd confid emily ToGa IN acseptng the as
tailed with clearness. and with every sp
pearance OF actually. We have here the

When any one appears there without be-

Besides the accounts OF the daily rou-

fine accounts OF tests Of speed OF shoot
