Excerpt from The Answering Message, and Other Naval Stories Early in the morning, as the lights were appearing in the east, the dim outlines of Unimak Pass broke the even line of horizon, and above them the low lying sheet of stratus cloud gave evidence of the Bering Sea. The captain leaned his breast against the upper bridge rail and gazed ahead. The high collar of his military overcoat was up and protected over half his face from the biting wind which whipped through the pass. Only dark gray eyes and a wisp of white hair shone between cap and collar. His eyebrows were sparse and light in color; the nose was straight. His hands were gloved and clasped behind his back.

Excerpt from Our Many-Sided Navy To my friends in the service I trust no apology is needed, except to express a most genuine sense of temerity in treading upon ground so full of pitfalls for the civilian. My only excuse is the ungrudging help, frank criticism, and encourage ment which I have constantly received from them both afloat and ashore. To them belongs the credit for whatever technical merits this work may possess; the errors are assuredly my own.

Excerpt from Our Navy at War The Fleet was at its secret rendezvous Base to which it had sailed from Hampton Roads on April 3, the day after President Wilson delivered his war message to Congress. Base 2 was Yorktown, Va., one of the most historic spots in America, and our battleships were in sight of the place where Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington. They rode at anchor in the waters where the timely arrival of De Grasse's ships assured the success of the war for American independence.

Excerpt from The Navy as I Have Known It, 1849-1899 This is not precisely an autobiography, in the ordinary use of the word. My chief desire has been to give a faithful picture of life in the Navy by one whose naval career has covered half a century, and to show some thing of the duties devolving upon the Service when some of our little wars are in progress, or even when the country is under the impression that we are in a state of blissful peace with all the world.
