Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Submarine The chapter on A Trip in a Modern Submarine is purely imaginative. There is no such boat in our sub marine flotilla as the X - 4. We ought to have plenty of big, fast, sea-going submarines, with plenty of big, fast sea-planes and battle-cruisers, so that if an invading army ever starts for this country we can meet it and smash it while it is cooped up on transports somewhere in mid ocean. There, and not in shallow, off-shore waters, cumbered with nets and mines, is the true battlefield of the submarine.

Download or read book The Story of the Submarine written by Cyril Field and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Submarine: From the Earliest Ages to the Present Day The Submarine Torpedo-boat is a new addition to the arma ments of the Naval Powers. But its evolution has been the work of centuries. Vague accounts of submersible vessels filter down to us from the Middle Ages, while there are plenty of accounts of divers who, with and without special appliances to enable them to remain under water, were employed in warfare hundreds of years before Christ and for many centuries afterwards. In the pages of the little volume now before the reader, the author has endeavoured to give an outline of the history of Submarine Warfare and Navigation from the Earliest Ages to the Present Day. He has studied to avoid technicalities and diagrams, which, valuable and useful as they are in more ambitious works, are, in his opinion, out of place in a book which is intended merely to satisfy the curiosity of the man in the street, and for the amusement of the casual reader, without aiming at being a work of reference. Finally, the author has to acknowledge the valuable assistance he has received in his compilation from the works of N. Pesce, Alan H. Burgoyne, and Maurice Belpeuch, which are each and all of them most comprehensive books of reference on Submarine Navigation. He is especially indebted to Mr. Burgoyne for his kind permission to make use of the numerous diagrams and drawings in his Submarine Navigation in the prepara tion of the illustrations.

'there, ' he would say, but for lack Of fortune, or opportunity, or courage, or stature, there goes John Smith.' It is admiration which helps us to feel that, and a mean spirit which conceals it from us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Clammer and the Submarine Classic Reprint written by William John Hopkins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Clammer and the Submarine From the bench built against the trunk one can see many things: the harbor, and the Opposite shore, and rolling country beyond, and distant hills, and one hill in particular with a tree upon it like a cross, which stands out, at certain seasons, right against the disc of the setting sun. One can see, too, the waters of the bay beyond the harbor, and certain clam beds just at the point, and a certain water front; and other things in their season. Old Goodwin's palace on the hill is not visible, except for a glimpse of red roofs above the t0ps of the trees. There is one other thing which I almost forgot to mention, and that is a hole s000ped in the ground just without the shadow of the pine, and lined with great stones. That stone-lined hole has its uses, but the time for them is not yet. I was sitting on the seat under my old pine, gazing out but seeing noth ing of what lay before my eyes. And that was strange, too, for the harbor before me was smiling under a warm spring sun, and the hills beyond were bathed in the blue mist of summer. Indeed, it seemed like summer. There will be cold weather in plenty, with skies gray and wet. There is always more than enough of such weather in the first half of May, but that day seemed like summer. I had had hard work to realize that it was April until I looked about me and saw the grass just greening in the moist and sheltered spots, and the trees spreading their bare arms abroad. The buds were just swel ling, some of them showing a faint pale green or pink at their tips. And my garden was nothing but freshly turned brown earth, not a spear of green.
