That is all very well for the one who get leave.

Nearby, a sick bay attendant was rearranging some of his stores in the sick bay. which on a corvette is little more than a medium -sized cupboard.

Written by Lt.-Cmdr. William Strange. RXJJ.Vit.. this 63-page publication Is being distributed by the Navy League In schools throughout the Dominion. Starting off, the booklet tells how ships came, to be and how they are net rata ry to carry Canada's pro ducts ovei the world. From there the streamlined nautical handbook goes on to tell how nations found !t necessary to build fighUng ships, floating bits of sudden death to protect these valuable but helpless merchant" craft. This, it Is .explained, was called sea power, and it is told how valuable possession of this power has been to Britain down through the centuries. Then it narrows the field to tell about Canada's tiny but potent navy Five types of warship make up the R. C.

Also is told the story of Canada's small but fast-growin merchant, navy, and df how new cargo ships are being christened monthly In the yards on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Personal stories of heroism, factual aecounts of Canadians and their ships, add warmth to the story. One is about a tiny corvette and how it smashed a u-boat, another is about a tanker that fought a lopsided duel with two of the underseas raiders. The booklet ends with a tribute that should find favor with every red-blooded Canadian youth. "There Is no finer fighting service in the world than the Royal Canadian Navy It says, "no nobler "ailing in a world at war than the merchant navy. To Canada, ships mean life. To the cause of freedom, ships mean victory." Good hunting iri spite of unfavorable weather was enjoyed by a party consisting of Capt. William Husoy, Capt. Sam Hougan, J. A. LlndsayJ. II.
