Good evening and thank you for joining me for another boring books for bedtime.

I hope tonight selection provides all the boredom your busy brain needs to quiet down and let you get some sleep.

So find a comfortable spot.

Adjust your volume,

take a nice deep breath in,

let it out slowly, and off we go.

Before we start this evening, I'd like to make a few announcements that typically occur at the end of the podcast, which is a little

pointless since the whole point of this podcast is to put you to sleep before you get to the end.

First, if you're ever interested in reading these works for yourself,

you'll always find a link to a free e-book version from Project Gutenberg in the show description.

The show description also includes links to a number of ways you can support the continuation of this

podcast including subscribing on Patreon, buying me a coffee, or purchasing merchandise

through Teespring.

Everything helps keep this podcast going,

and I hope you'll take the time to check them out.

Finally, if you'd like to connect, you can do so on our website,

Boringbooks pod.com, or on Twitter at Boring Books Pod. I'd love to hear from you. Now let's get to the reading.

This evening we're reading the British Navy book by lieutenant colonel and brevet colonel

Cyril Field RMLI with full page illustrations in color and in black and white and numerous illustrations

in the text. Published in 1915, by Blackian Sun Limited, London, Glasgow, and Bombay.

Let's begin.
