Excerpt from The Marvel Book of American Ships The man-o'-war's-man in Our Navy begins his day with the bugles sounding reveille at in the morning, backed up by the shrill pipes of the bosun's mates and their hoarse Shouts of Up all hammocks! Lash and carry! Hammocks are lashed and stowed away in the hammock nettings and then cofiee and Ship's bread are served. In the old days hard tack was served, but to-day the American blue jacket has his bread baked fresh daily.
