Excerpt from Naval Yarns A great many of the Narratives and Letters com prised in this collection are now for the first time printed; the remainder were collected from many unusual sources by my father, the late W. H. Long, who had exceptional opportunities in that direction. The majority of the Narratives bear the impress of their truth in themselves, and it is hoped that they will prove of interest to all readers.

Excerpt from Some Naval Yarns These stories, light though they be, give a conception of what it is to search the seas in a submarine, and the bravery of the youngest branch of the N avy - the Royal Naval Air Service - is palpable even from the modest ac counts given by these seaplane pilots. They have confidence in their supremacy over the enemy, and are all smiles even in the face of imminent danger. It shows that often British coolness and pluck have saved a machine as well as the lives of men. Of special interest is the talk with the captain of a minesweeper While he is on the bridge of his vessel. he tells of the many neutral lives that have been saved by English seamen at the risk of their own vessels and the lives of their crews. Noteworthy is it that Great Britain in the course of this war has not been the cause of the loss of a single neutral life. Mines have been placed at random by Germany's pirate craft.

Excerpt from The United States Naval Academy: Being the Yarn of the American Midshipman That this task might better have been done by one wearing the uniform of the United States than by one who dofi'ed it more years ago than he cares to remember, it is needless to say. Nevertheless, study of his subject throughout' this long interval, actuated by an abiding affection for all that pertains to the Navy, and a deep sense of obligation to his Alma Mater, may, perhaps, be pleaded by the author as some qualification for his present attempt.

Excerpt from My Life, and a Few Yarns I commenced this book with the intention of only writing on the Victorian Navy, and the chapter on the Constance. Is the result. But a friendly critic told me that it was rather technical and too impersonal for the general public, so I boldly launched into an autobiography, intending it to be a humble effort on the part of an old fossil to depict life in the Royal Navy during a service of forty-one years, as he found it. After all, it is only by the study of fossils that we are able to arrive at any conclusions as to the period' in which they existed. It is true that we have among the fossils, to mention a few, Tonge, Smollett, Michael Scott, Marryat, Chambre and Hannay, the last the author of that charming book Singleton Fontenoy, r.n., descriptive of naval life in the fifties of the last century. Nicholas and James are more geologists than fossilists, and only give dry details. Laird' Clowes has brought Up naval history to the year 1900 in a more human fashion, while Rudyard Kipling well, we all know his gems of naval life. The war has produced a new school, and I have read its works with' infinite enjoyment. I dedicate this ambitious work to the glorious Service.
