Synopsis
Excerpt from The Exploits of Bilge and Ma
I have read with interest these stories of the exploits of Bilge and Ma, two fiction charac ters who are supposed to have lived and moved on one of the destroyer flotillas under my command in the late war. The author's own experience upon and around these craft when they were engaged in hunting the submarine has acquainted him with the atmosphere in which that work was done, and in the mishaps as well as in the achievements of the heroes whose adventures are set forth in these pages he has portrayed something of that playful spirit, that dare-devil courage and that unfaltering tenacity of purpose which I have always seen to be character istic of the American fighting man afloat. I shall anticipate that the volume may not only prove enter taining reading to all who care for a yarn of the sea, but that it will be recognized by officers and men of the fleets and their friends as a tribute to the personnel and the character of the Navy as a whole.

The Exploits of Bilge and Ma (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts a series of escalating escapades undertaken by the crew of a U.S. Navy destroyer during World War I. Centred around the misadventures of two fictional crew members, the tales deftly weave humour and camaraderie tightly together in a way that showcases the light-hearted nature with which these men faced their harrowing experiences. Through a series of mishaps involving mistaken identities, lavish aristocratic gatherings, and mismanaged attempts at capturing a designated submarine, the author explores the themes of friendly camaraderie, the irrepressible power of confidence, and the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The book offers a refreshing and insightful account of the daily life of U.S. Navy destroyer crewmen during the First World War and provides a fascinating glimpse into a more light-hearted yet no less perilous side of naval combat.
