Excerpt from My Life Among the Bluejackets
ON board our ships there is a watch called the anchor watch -the ship is lying at her moorings, and there is not much to guard against, but, all alert, the men are at their posts; still there is a certain amount of leisure, and many a life story is told and many a yarn is spun during those quiet hours.
