"le ,n Ky .anaaian :avj , vette "the child born nf a ter. in "Saints, Devils and ' Ordinary Seamen' By ALAN RANDAL Canadian Press Stair Writer Wild weather at sea never deterred small ships of the Royal Canadian Navy but it was dif- ferent with the Germans. They ' were not of such stern stuff and their destroyers preferred the smooth haven of harbor to raging seas. Lieut. William S. Pugs-ley of Montreal points this up In his book 'Saints. Devils and Or- dinary Seamen," (Collins) as he wlls how the Canadian destroyer Sioux moved north from Scapa Flow with a Royal Navy force 1 Tiuntins the German battleship Tirpitz which refused to do battle. "The speed made the ship act so only a cowboy could feel at : 'home," writes Pugsley. For him It recalled the chase after the "fleeing German battleship Bis-; marck and the fact that the Bismarck's crew "were very bitter when they heard their own destroyers couldn't come out - -from Brest to help because it was too rough. They knew the British destroyers were at sea." He tells how, in the war's early years, no matter how alert jCanada"s Navy, there never were if ntough escorts to make the convoy ring tighr. That, of course, was before the days of the cor- CHRONIC BRONCHITIS or too small for us. rime urgency when convoys gained tighter and fuller escort and Canada's little men In their thousands went to sea. Little Men On Lower Deck It is of these little men of the lower deck that Puysley writes. For two years, after resigning a commission, he was one of them, ferving in nearly 20 Canadian ships. His warmly-told tale Is of the ratings' day-by-day hardships and of fun and frolic in this tight little fraternity, shipmates bound to each other by the discomforts nd privations they hnd all to share and by the teamwork this demanded. "Nothing could long depress their calm self-confidence, their bubbling good humor and their sheer, unconquerable guts." To any who sailed In corvettes this book is like a visit back to the mess deck For those who never saw corvettes the story brings close, with masculine poignancy, the manner In which lower deck men worked and lived with danger and longed all the while for home. "They preferred cowboy songs, plaintive, nostalgic m e 1 o d les from the Great Plains," says Pugsley. "The ratings could think only of their wives and sweethearts with such songs as 'You Are My Sunshine, 'No Letter Today." "Nobody's Darling But Mine."

Costly Error On Our Side Pugsley reveals that a Canadian minesweeper and a destroyer each sank a British submarine in error. Sometimes establishing identity at sea was difficult and, telling of a motor torpedo boat that was all set to fire at a couple of destroyers until they learned just in time they were friendly he says: "You don't have to meet the enemy in MXB.'s to find excitement, you just meet anybody." But if there were long times of strain there were laughs too; such as the bloke who for months in barracks ashore cruU-ed about with a piece of folded blank paper in his hand. He es caped all work. Everyone thought him a messenger with a signal until the commander stopped him and asked to see the message. Or the fellow who insisted to shipmates that his girl wrote him dally even though he never got a letter. Then his mail caught upwith him 130 letters from his ever-beloved. Pugsley sailed with Canadians in H.M.C.S. Georgian to sweep mines from the path of the Normandy invasion forces'. Thousands lined England's cliffs to watch the ships depart "Sf. George was out from behind the eight ball now, and riding in an LS (T)." Only a fool wouldn't be a bit scared on such a mission and the Canadian lads were not fools. They broke out their hordes of choice edibles, Insisted everybody feed well while they could. But they liked such times and chattered unceasingly about the awful time coming due. "They weren't exactly measuring themselves for harp and halo rather Just groping for a few quotable last words," writes Pugsley. "The situation was growing more tense by the minute and they frankly revelled in It."

Then the fall is fine and dust-like. Classified Advertising Pays! Advertise in The Daily News. THIS AND THAT S ' ' . The Ceorpr Mttlttf Asm Scnir. Inr, jZS?
