But they did more than that, for through their performance over countless weary, rolling miles of sea, they have given us a fund of valuable data on the possibilities of small boats and their j)o\ver plants that we never should have gathered in many a lazy year of peace. Yes, were proud of them now and of the kid reservists who commanded them and of the gobs wdio manned them. The little vessels that were damned and ridiculed by the majority of battle-wagon men from the time their design was first noised about, made good—gloriously made good. They have written a story that will live along with the classics of naval history to fire the imagination of the youth of generations to come. William Washburn Nutting.

12 THE CINDERELLAS OF THE FLEET <i>The Movies in the Mediterranean</i> CHAPTER I The M. L.'s THEIR ORIGIN AND THEIR DUTIES. I HAVE always thought of the world as divided into two classes of people : those who are interested in boats, and—well, just plain folks. So far as America is concerned, the just plain folks have been somewhat in the ascendency since the days when the New Bedford whalers and the famous Yankee clipper ships made the American ensign a thing well known and respected on all the seven seas. Of late years there hasn't been much to keep alive in our people a love of the sea or much to which we could point with pride to refute the taunt of the lime-juicer that we have forsaken the sea and become a soft, land-loving nation—not much besides our Navy and always our Gloucester fishing fleet. But the war has changed all that. Not only has it put us back on something like a decent footing as a maritime nation, but it has added a brilliant chapter to our naval history as well. It has brought back thousands of men to the sea<i><br></i>
