PREFACE
It seems almost unnecessary to remark that the characters and ships figuring in the sketches throughout this book are entirely fictitious.
"Bunting," "The Acting Sub," "Our Happy Home," "The Lost Sheep," "The
'Muckle Flugga' Hussars," and "The Mother Ship" appeared in the Daily
Mail, and "The 'Pirates'" in the Weekly Despatch. They are here
reprinted, with minor alterations, by kind permission of the Editors.
