_The Navy "Dere Mable"_ BILTMORE OSWALD The Diary of a Hapless Recruit By J. THORNE SMITH, Jr., C.B.M., U.S.N.R.F.

This book does for the Navy fledgling what DERE MABLE does for the rookie of the Army. It is the veracious record of the haps and mishaps of a verdant land-lubber plunged into a whirl of unfamiliar duties at Pelham Bay, as told by a recruit who has been through the mill. His experience are one long riot of laughter--no one with a son or a brother or a sweetheart in the Service will want to miss it and no one who is a recruit himself can afford to miss it.
