Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Anchors Aweigh "That isn´t merely a story of the Navy: it is a classic." With these words to one very dear I laid down the magazine from which I had read aloud Harriet Welles´s story of "The Admiral´s Birthday." It was the kind of intimate touch of the love of husband and wife that makes one "teary around the lashes," as Lowell would say. That was my first introduction to the stories of this interpreter of the phase of Navy life that makes Navy people one big family. It is a life of separations and many honeymoons, for "Orders" take the male partners to all corners of the globe. The wife must wait at home while the husband braves the danger of the deep, and latterly the terrors of the submarine stiletto.
