ON PATROL

On Patrol

BY
KLAXON
AUTHOR OF 'H. M. S. ——'

William Blackwood and Sons
Edinburgh and London
1919

TO
D. V. B.

THEY watch us leaving harbour for the greatest game of all,
And wonder if we're coming back across the greedy sea;
They never know the fighting thrill or high adventure's call—
I rather think the women folk are better men than we.
But I suspect they say of us as out to sea we go,
In all our panoply of pride from Orkney to the Nore:
"It keeps them quiet, we suppose—they like the work, we know—
And soon perhaps they'll tire and play some safer game than War."
