Notes made by the author on two trips that he made with the channel squadron in 1897. Covers life aboard ships during maneuvers. All rather dull to a land lubber such as I; probably interesting to others with an interest in the naval affairs of the time. An update of Masefield's Sea Life In Nelson's Time.
