Young Tom Bowling / The Boys of the British Navy - John C. Hutcheson

However, be that as it may, and whether I ever rise to quarter-deck rank or not, I have not a single regret at having ever joined the Navy; for, no one glories more than I in serving our Queen and country under the grand old flag that floats supreme over every sea where ship may sail. Aye, and my proud boast is that I am still ‘Young Tom Bowling,’ my dear old father being yet alive; and that I am one of ‘the Boys of the British Navy.’

The End.
