GLIMPSES OF LIFE ON BOARD SHIP 



The lads of the Navy are natural born enter- 

 tainers, and their hearty good fellowship has 

 done much to enhance the interest of the 

 public in our Navy and its workings. Dur- 

 i n g the re- 

 visitors 

 to the ships 

 have been ac- 

 corded a 

 splendid re- 

 ception. The 

 Navy boys 

 took pride in 

 showing the 

 visitors how 

 the big guns 

 and other 

 fighting equip- 

 in e n t are 

 handled. 



The illumi- 

 nations 

 have been 

 g o r g eous 

 beyond 

 description. 

 Rows of in- 

 candescent 

 lamps out- 

 lining the 

 shapes of 

 the vessels, 

 the play of 

 the search- 

 lights, the fireworks all have done their part 

 in the celebration and helped to make the 

 fleet as interesting by night as by day, if 

 not more so.
