Hard Back. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Assumed First Edition. 355 Pages. Pages one and two are missing which are The Title and the Copyright pages. "Roger Paulding, Apprentice Seaman," is the first book of a series intended to depict the life of enlisted men of our navy. For the necessary incidents to give coloring the author has not had to stray far from happenings witnessed by himself. In our navy there are close to 50,000 enlisted men, most of them quite young. These young men are not recruited from a maritime population, but generally come from the interior of the country. Time was when the majority of our enlisted men were foreigners, the navy being recruited from the merchant service. To-day they are all Americans, over ninety per cent. being of native birth, and they receive their training entirely within the navy. Unskilled farmer boys or lads from the cities are enlisted as apprentice seamen. A few years later they are to be found manipulating turrets, electrical machines, and a great variety of mechanisms, their skill being entirely acquired aboard war-ships. Those in command are ever on the alert to recognize talent, industry and character.
