CHAPTER I.

NV father was a seaman, so, nat.
urally, all my life l heard a great deal
about ships and the sea. Even when
1 was a little boy, In Walston, Pa, L
thought about them a whole lot and
wanted to be a sailor-especially a
sailor in the U. S. navy.
You might say 1 was brought up on
the water.
When / was twelve years old / went
to sea as cabin boy on the whaler
Therifus, out of Boston. She was an
old square-rigged' sailing ship, built
more for work than for speed. We
were out four months on my first
cruise, and got knocked around a lot,
especially in a storm On the Newfound-
land Banks, where we lost our instru-
ments, and had a hard time navigat-
ing the ship. Whaling crews work on
shares and during the two years l was
on the Therifus my shares amounted
to fourteen hundred dollars.
Then l shipped as frst-class helms
man on the British tramp Southern
down, a twin-screw steamer out OF
IAlfGAH DbAs MANY BfDBAt II SUI ~ AHfA
that a fourteen-year-Old boy should be
helmsman on an Ocean-going craft,
but all over the world you will see
young lads doing their trick at the
wheel. / was on the Southerndown
two years and in that time visited
most of the important ports Of Eu-
rope. There Is nothing like a tramp
steamer If you want to see the world.
The So~utherndown is the vessel that,
In the fall of 1917, sighted a German
U-boat rugged UP like a sailing ship.
Although / liked visiting the foreign
ports, l got tired Of the S%outherndown
after a while and at the end of a voy-
age which landed me in New York l
decided to get into the United States
navy. After laying around for a week
or two l enlisted and was assigned to
duty as a second-class fireman.
People have said they thought I was
pretty small to be a fireman; they
have the idea that fremen must be big
men. Well, l am 5 feet 71a inches In
height, and when l was sixteen l was
just as tall as l am now and weighed
169 pounds. I was a whole lot husk-

Ter then, too, for that was before my
Introduction to kultur In German prls-
on camps. and life there is not exactly
fattening-not exactly. / do not know
why it is, but If you Will notice the
navy hremen-the lads with the red
stripes around their left shoulders
you will find that almost all of them
are small men. But they are a husky
lot.
Now, in the navy, they always haze
a newcomer until he shows that he
can take care of himself, and / got
mine very soon after L went into Un-
Gle Sans service. l was washing my
clothes In a bucket on the fOrecastle
deck, and every garby ~(sailor) who
came along would give me or the
bucket a kick, and spill n or the
both Of us. Each time l would move
TO some other place, but 4 always
seemed to be in somebody's way. FL
nally / saw a marine coming. / was
nowhere near him, but he hauled out
of his course to come up TO me and
gave the bucket a boot that sen 1t
twenty feet away, at the same time
handing me a clout on the a that
just about knocked me down. Now,
I did not exactly know what a marine
was, and this fellow had so many
stripes on his sleeves that l thought
he must be some sort of officer, so |
Just stood by. There was a gold stripe
commissioned %oficer) on the bridge
and l knew that If anything was
wrong he would cut in, SO | kept look
ing up at him. but he stayed where he
was, looking on, and never saying a
word. And all the time the marine
kept slamming me about and telling
me TO get the hell out of there.
Finally l said TO myself, I'll GO
this guy II It's the brig for a month.
