Excerpt from My Life Among the Bluejackets

ON board our ships there is a watch called the anchor watch -the ship is lying at her moorings, and there is not much to guard against, but, all alert, the men are at their posts; still there is a certain amount of leisure, and many a life story is told and many a yarn is spun during those quiet hours.

Excerpt from My Life Among the Bluejackets

On Board our ships there is a watch called "the anchor watch" - the ship is lying at her moorings, and there is not much to guard against, but, all alert, the men are at their posts; still there is a certain amount of leisure, and many a life story is told and many a yarn is spun during those quiet hours.

I have been asked to write the story of my life, but how to do it amidst a whirl of work I did not know, and whether if written it would do any good I could not be sure; however, I am taking advantage of a short "anchor watch" to put down a few recollections, and if they interest and stir up any person to work for God's glory, and for the good of others, I shall be amply repaid.
