Book Description
Excerpt from A Merchant Fleet at War During a war, which was at last to draw into its vortex practically the whole human race - the issue depending, first and foremost, on sea power - there was little time or opportunity or, indeed, inclination on the part of British seamen to keep a record of their varied activities. The very nature of many of the incidents recorded in the following pages precluded the preparation of detailed reports at the time. Nor can we forget that many of the officers and men, to whose resource, courage, and devotion this volume bears testimony, have joined the great silent army of the dead to whose exploits the freedom of conscience of every man and woman in the British Empire, as well as their state of material comfort, bear witness.

Excerpt from Outposts of the Fleet: Stories of the Merchant, Service in War and Peace How is this man recognized P He is not recognized at all. He is a sailor. The Church knows nothing of him except that annually it dispenses tracts, printed in block letters, to him and wonders at his stolid indifference. The State passes him by he is without repre sentation; practically cut of? From voting he cannot make himself heard. Thus the greatest race of sailor-men the world has ever seen is treated as a negligible quantity by the two great upholders of national dignity.

Excerpt from Champions of the Fleet: Captains and Men-of-War, and Days That Helped to Make the Empire Waters. At the same time, they may claim present-day associations that should render them not out of place just now. How and Why, for instance, the world-famous name Dreadnought came into the Royal Navy is a story of interest on its own account that ought to be timely. With that also is told something of what our Dreadnoughts of old did under fire in the fighting days of history: with Drake; against the Armada; with Sir Walter Raleigh; against De Ruyter and the Dutchmen; at La Hogue; how one gave the sobrz'quet Old Dreadnought to the famous Boscawen; how Nel son's uncle and patron Maurice Suckling captained the same ship in battle; of Collingwood in the Dreadnought; and of the Dreadnought at Trafalgar. We get, too, a passing glance at certain of the points of our mighty battleship the Dread nought of the present hour. Again, in the year that has seen the name of Clive recalled to the memory of his countrymen by an ex-viceroy of.

Book Description
Excerpt from Germany's High Sea Fleet, in the World War The victor has the privilege of writing the story of the war; for one mistrusts the vanquished, because he will try to palliate and excuse his defeats. But we are victors and vanquished at one and the same time, and in depicting our success the difficult problem confronts us of not forgetting that our strength did not last out to the end. Exceptionally tragic is the fate of our Fleet. It embodied the sense of power resulting from the unification of the Empire, a sense which was conscious of its responsibility to provide for the suitable security of our immensely flourishing political and economical expansion. By creating a fleet we strengthened our claim to sea-power, without which the Empire must wither away, we remained a thorn in the side of the British, and their ill-will was the constant accompaniment of our growth. The freedom of the seas, which we strove for in line with our evolution, England was never willing to grant, even if it had to come to a world-war on the point. In the four years' struggle which Germany waged against the desire of its enemies to destroy it, the Fleet was able, beyond all foreign expectations, to hold its own, and what is more, it was our conduct of the naval war that succeeded in forcing the stubborn enemy to the brink of destruction. But, nevertheless, we have lost the war, and with the surrender of the German Fleet the expectations of an independent shaping of our destiny have vanished for long enough. To the history of the naval war, as it presented itself to me and was for some years carried on under my guidance, this book will add a contribution.
