26416	But how to get it?
26416	But how?

26416	How came it?
26416	How to do it without aid from Sherman''s troops, was a difficult question; and in his perplexity he exclaimed aloud,"Why do n''t Sherman come on?
26416	How, thought I, could all these shells go through a vessel without disabling the machinery?
26416	In effect the reprimand was something like this:"Who told you to take Alvarado?
26416	Often"Johnny"would call out,"Well, Yank, when are you coming into town?"
26416	Porter, what did you get into such an ugly scrape for?
26416	Suddenly there arose a cry,"Now, boys, are you ready?"
26416	The applicant for promotion, who, when asked by an examiner,"Where is the post of a colonel when his regiment is drawn up for battle?"
26416	The latter vessel came within two hundred yards, and hailed,"What ship''s that?"
26416	This answer affronted the captain, who asked the man in an angry tone,''What part of America he came from?''
26416	We were ordered to put the crew in irons, and they, too, seemed utterly dumbfounded; and one poor fellow said to me,''Must I lose all my clothes?''
26416	What boat''s that?"
26416	When we got aft, the captain asked in a dazed sort of manner,''Why-- why-- what does this mean?''
26416	Would it be wise, like the scorpion, to sting ourselves to death?
26416	Would that flag still be there when the sun should rise again?

26416	sung out Porter,"how long will it take this cotton to burn up?"
15076	Shall we,he asks in his final book,"shall we now rest satisfied with this idea and by it judge of all wars, however much they may differ?
15076	And what guarantee was there that the next war would confirm to the Napoleonic type and accommodate itself to the abstract theory?
15076	And what will be the result?
15076	Are there, then, no principles which we can deduce from the old practice for the strengthening of judgment?
15076	Are we entitled to expect from it again the same success it met with in the past?
15076	But in what proportion?
15076	But what if the conditions of the struggle in which we wish to intervene are such that no truly limited theatre is available?
15076	Can not the old close blockade be given a modern form?
15076	Can we expect the same compensation now?
15076	Did it have any real influence on the ultimate question of command?
15076	Finally, we must ask what, with every condition abnormally in favour of the attack, was the actual material result?
15076	How was this to be explained?
15076	If all on which we have to build is so indeterminate, how are any practical conclusions to be reached?
15076	If the whole conception of war had changed, how could you account for the success of England, who had not changed her methods?
15076	Is it one for which he will be likely to fight to the death, or one which he will abandon in the face of comparatively slight resistance?
15076	Is it this which has tempted us to mistrust any type of vessel which can not be flung into the battle?
15076	Is there anything inherent in the conception of war that justifies that attitude in our case?
15076	Must we rest content in all situations with Howe''s system, which riper experience condemned for cases of extreme necessity?
15076	Of what practical use then, it may be asked, is all this hairsplitting?
15076	On the surface nothing could look sounder, but what are the conditions which underlie the one and the other?
15076	SHOULD COMMAND OF THE SEA ALWAYS BE THE PRIMARY OBJECT?
15076	The question then in the consideration of any proposed operation or line of operations will be, not"Have we the command of the sea?"
15076	The question we have to consider is, was this specialisation, which has asserted itself down to our own times, in the true line of development?
15076	To any one who has considered such matters it is obvious the reply must be another question-- What will the war be about?
15076	Was it, in fact, a right expression of the needs which are indicated by the theory of naval war?
15076	We have them both, but with what result?
15076	What are you to do if the enemy refuses to permit you to destroy his fleets?
15076	What does this mean?
15076	What then is the value of the sea in the political system of the world?
15076	What then, it will be asked, are the tangible results which we can hope to attain from theory?
15076	What theory, for instance, would cover Napoleon''s successes in Germany and Italy, as well as his failures in Spain and Russia?
15076	What was to be done?
15076	What was to be done?
15076	What, for instance, was he to do if he found a chance of blockading the main English fleet at its base?
15076	What, in fact, is the inherent weakness of close blockade?
15076	What, then, are these elements of strength?
15076	What, then, can be done?
15076	What, then, do we mean by naval defence?
15076	Which meaning, then, is most closely connected with the ordinary use of the word?
15076	Why indeed should this humane yet drastic process of war be rejected at sea if the same thing is permitted on land?
15076	Why, then, did he not employ close blockade?
15076	Will the balance of strength and weakness remain as it used to be?
15076	but"Can we secure the necessary lines of communication from obstruction by the enemy?"
37328	And what do you mean by it, sir? 37328 Are you mad, knocking about here like a magnetised mummy, and Tuesday the passing day?
37328	Ay, where''s the doctor''s?
37328	Be going for to join, I dessay, sir?
37328	Beware of the Jews?
37328	Can you take us over the bar?
37328	God bless the dear old chap?
37328	Going far, ma''am?
37328	How much water you?
37328	How much?
37328	I''m afraid,said my friend(?
37328	Is he?
37328	Is it indeed, ma''am? 37328 Is it true, sir?--is it true?"
37328	Let the gentleman pass, ca n''t you, Jack?
37328	Mind yourself now,cried the commander to Quilp; to which he in wrath replied--"What for you stand there make bobbery?
37328	My dear sir, excuse me, but it is just our dinner hour; nice roast turkey, and boiled leg of mutton with--"Any pickled pork?
37328	Nonsense?
37328	Now,said he, as he tendered the waiter a five- pound Bank of England note,"you must not take it amiss, Doctor, but--""No smaller change, sir?"
37328	Stabird side, I dessay, sir?
37328	Then,you inquire,"it is n''t six bells?"
37328	What,said I,"have you anything the matter with your chest?"
37328	What,said I,"is your father not then a Jew?
37328	Where away to?
37328	Where is the doctor''s?
37328	Where''s the doctor''s grog?
37328	Why so early to- day?
37328	You seem cold, ma''am,said I;"will you permit me to offer you a very little brandy?"
37328	And if army officers and men have been graciously permitted to wear the moustache since the Crimean war, why are not we?
37328	And they all said"Where is the doctor''s?"
37328	And what did I see from my elevated situation?
37328	Another glass of beer?
37328	Cabins?
37328	Dick, Dick,"exclaims an honest- looking tar;"I see''d my poor wife tumble down; she had wee Johnnie in her arms, and-- and what will I do?"
37328	Did it?
37328	Did n''t the Roman youths dedicate the first few downy hairs of the coming moustache to the gods?
37328	Does it not even beget a certain amount of respect for the wearer?
37328	Does not the moustache give a manly appearance to the smallest and most effeminate?
37328	Does the combatant officer treat the medical officer with respect?
37328	Go to the American war, embark for the gold- diggings, enlist in a regiment of Sepoys, or throw myself from the top of Saint Paul''s?
37328	I repeated, and added"eh?"
37328	I suppose you want to go sticking your dirty wet oars in the air, do you?"
37328	I''ve got neither sister, wife, nor mother, so surely it''s_ me_ that ought to be making a noodle of myself; but where''s the use?"
37328	If so, why is it not used in building ships?
37328	Is mahogany much superior to oak?
37328	Mahogany, did I say?
37328	No?
37328	One may well ask why?
37328	The first gentleman(?)
37328	What becomes of the hundreds of thousands of slaves that are taken from Africa?
37328	What do you mean by it?"
37328	What if I were plucked?
37328	What should I do?
37328	What sort of guys would the razor make of Count Bismark, Dickens, the Sultan of Turkey, or Anthony Trollope?
37328	What would the pictures of some of the great masters be without it?
37328	Why did you not say so at first?
37328	and echo answered"Where?"
37328	says growler second,"_ I_ knew that ship; that was a mess, and no mistake?"
37328	upon what island, tell us, doctor, does the mahogany tree grow, exist, and flourish?
37328	what''s your name?"
37328	wonder, now, if it makes a great many calls?
15749	Are there for us beyond the sea horizon none of those essential interests, of those evident dangers, which impose a policy and confer rights?
15749	Are we ready to undertake this?
15749	But is there nothing to the credit side of the account, even perhaps a balance in their favor?
15749	But what right will she invoke against the transfer?
15749	But why, then, if supreme, concede to an enemy immunity for his commerce?
15749	Can it be counted less because they are bound by the ties of blood and close political union to the great communities of the East?
15749	Does this tend to universal peace, general disarmament, and treaties of permanent arbitration?
15749	For what purposes, primarily, do navies exist?
15749	For what, after all, is our not unjustly vaunted European and American civilization?
15749	Have we no right or no call to progress farther in any direction?
15749	How far has it gone?
15749	How shall two walk together except they be agreed?
15749	Is it so as regards Bering Sea?
15749	Is it the harbinger of ready mutual understanding, of quick acceptance of, and delight in, opposing traditions and habits of life and thought?
15749	Is such quick acceptance found now where Easterns and Westerns impinge?
15749	Is the United States willing to see them sold to a powerful rival?
15749	It then could have been said to her, as it now is said to us,"Why go beyond your own borders?
15749	It would be a matter of course for her to fight for her just interests, if need be, and why should not another state say the same?
15749	May it not be so with nations?
15749	Ships answering to this description are the_ kind_ which make naval strength; what is to be its_ degree_?
15749	The outlook-- the signs of the times, what are they?
15749	To what attacks are coasts liable?
15749	Was it so at Samoa?
15749	Was not Turkey in occupation?
15749	What has been the effect of these great armies?
15749	What is all Canada compared with our exposed great cities?
15749	What is our protective system but an organized warfare?
15749	What is that strength to be?
15749	What may its size be?
15749	What preparation is necessary in case such a one is as determined to fight against our demands as we to fight for them?
15749	What their number?
15749	When they resist, what force can they bring against us?
15749	Whence did it come?
15749	Whither is it going?
15749	Why not?
15749	Why?
15749	Will it be said that that was in a past barbaric age?
15749	and"What shall be the end hereof?"
15749	or is there possibly in it also a sign of the times to come, to be studied in connection with other signs, some of which we have noted?
22305	''Sir?'' 22305 ''Sir?''
22305	''What does she look like?'' 22305 ''Where away is the sail?''
22305	As Mr. Everett was passing by, the commodore asked him,--''Are you willing to go alongside of her?''
22305	Can any of the wounded pull a rope?
22305	Do you mean to say, that, if I had been in that boat, you would have dared to commit such an act?
22305	Do you tell me I lie?
22305	Ees eet that that ees a sheep of les à � tats- Unis?
22305	Have you any evidence,asked the American officer of the British admiral,"beyond the man''s own word, that he is an Englishman?"
22305	Have you seen him?
22305	Have you struck your flag?
22305	Have you struck?
22305	How dare you take a man from a boat of his Majesty''s ship, sir?
22305	Silence being secured, he hailed the lookout, who to his question of''What does she look like?'' 22305 Sir,"said he emphatically,"do you know what vessel you are on board of?"
22305	Surely you do n''t propose to take my entire crew?
22305	The precise answer to this question I do not recollect; but the captain proceeded to ask,''What does she look like?'' 22305 Then,"said the captain,"where are the primers?"
22305	Well, what''s wanted now?
22305	What Yankee''s pockets did Johnny Crapaud pick to get all that money?
22305	What does it look like?
22305	What does that mean?
22305	What is that you say?
22305	What ship is that? 22305 What was that?"
22305	What''s that to me, sir?
22305	Where are they?
22305	Where bound?
22305	Where from?
22305	Who comes there?
22305	Why do you want to go, Jack?
22305	Why, what for, my lad?
22305	Why, what ship''s this?
22305	Why,--why, what ship''s this?
22305	After the tour of the ship had been made, the host said, as they stood chatting on the quarter- deck,--"Well, what do you think of her?"
22305	Allen, he said surlily,--"You do not intend to send me away without my baggage?"
22305	And were not the British aggressions more oppressive than those of France?
22305	And wha kens what he may do?
22305	At this moment, the first lieutenant of the"Serapis"came up hastily, and inquired,--"Has the enemy struck her flag?"
22305	Bearing down upon the nearest merchantman, he hailed her; and the following conversation ensued,--"What fleet is this?"
22305	Brown?"
22305	But what could be the secret of the times of captivity?
22305	Could true- hearted Americans desert their friends in such a manner?
22305	Dacres,--"Would you like the assistance of a surgeon, or surgeon''s mate, in caring for your wounded?"
22305	Do you think I would serve against my country?"
22305	Do you want me to send the boat back for the marines?"
22305	Have we your consent to striking the colors?"
22305	Have you seen any Yankee privateers?"
22305	Having arrived at the determination to take the"Sandwich,"the next problem to be solved was, how shall she be taken?
22305	How many were there that went down with the ship?
22305	How, then, were the Yankees, with their puny force, to hope for success?
22305	In a moment the captain noticed the two, and said cheerily,--"Well, Jack, what''s wanting now?"
22305	Is there no lesson in this?
22305	Might there not be something written in sympathetic ink?
22305	Now, what are you going to do with so much money?"
22305	Pearson of the"Serapis"shouted out through the sulphurous blackness,--"Have you struck your colors?"
22305	Porter went in it?"
22305	Rodgers sprang upon the taffrail, and putting a speaking- trumpet to his lips, shouted,"What ship is that?"
22305	Shall I hoist it?"
22305	Something in the speaker''s tone aroused Preble''s interest, and he said,--"Would you like the port- fire shorter still?"
22305	The Americans alone were to blame for that; for was not their attitude toward England, their natural foe, enough to inflame the French?
22305	The boat was soon within hail, and a trim young officer in the stern- sheets sung out,--"What craft''s that?"
22305	They controlled the ship, it was true; but what were three men to do with a full- rigged ship on the stormy Atlantic?
22305	Touching his hat, the lad replied,"Commodore, will you please to have my name put down on the muster- roll?"
22305	Truxton mounted the rail, and shouted through a speaking- trumpet,"What ship is that?"
22305	Tucker exclaimed,--"''How can you expect quarters while that British flag is flying?''
22305	Turning quickly to his commander, the English lieutenant asked,--"Have you struck, sir?"
22305	Was it wise now to order an assault that might lead to the loss of twice that number?
22305	Were they not representatives of the nation whose ships were seizing and burning American vessels in the West Indies almost daily?
22305	What course does that leave open to the Americans, save to resist the British, thereby become involved in a war, and so aid France?
22305	What ship is that?"
22305	What though a French privateer did occasionally seize an American ship?
22305	What, then, was the secret of the success which, as we shall see, attended the American arms on the sea?
22305	Who are you?"
22305	Who could tell that the holds of the privateers did not at that very minute contain the best part of the cargo of some captured American vessel?
22305	Who will help destroy her?"
22305	Will you stand by me?"
22305	shouted the captain, greatly enraged,"would you venture to interfere, if I should now impress men from that brig?"
17547	And has the material of the navy no connection with this bond?
17547	And if he is to act on the offensive, what direction will his operations take; will he secure an advance base; and if so, where?
17547	And this should not amaze us; for where does the Bible say or intimate that love among nations will ever be brought about?
17547	And what is"power,"in the sense in which officials, both military and civilian, use the word?
17547	Are we any more artistic, strong, or beautiful than the Greeks in their palmy days?
17547	Are we braver than the Spartans, more honest than the Chinese, more spiritual than the Hindoos, more religious than the Puritans?
17547	At what time did the change occur whereby the instrument employed dominated the human being who employed it?
17547	But does any military writer condemn Prussia for having made assurance too sure?
17547	But does any naval man believe this wholly?
17547	But how in a battleship carrying a thousand men does the coal- passer in the fire- room do as the captain on the bridge desires?
17547	But is it not equally difficult to associate carelessness with Napoleon?
17547	But what kind of power?
17547	But who will go so far?
17547	But why should an enemy take the trouble to invade us?
17547	Can any worse situation be imagined-- except the situation that would follow when the enemy arrived?
17547	Can commerce impart the external force necessary to divert nations from that path?
17547	Can we really believe that they take no part and feel no pride in those magnificent pageants on the ocean?
17547	China may attract the attention of some as an instance of longevity; but is China a nation in the usual meaning of the word?
17547	Civilization in the past has not operated to soften the relations of nations with each other, so why should it do so now?
17547	Did Russia fear that Japan would force the people of her vast territory into starvation?
17547	Did Spain do so in our last war?
17547	Did these things occur?
17547	Does not a nation give up fighting just as soon as it sees that further fighting would do more harm than good?
17547	For instance, the question is asked:"Do you consider it probable that such or such a thing would happen?"
17547	Has any country ever fought until the people as a mass were starving?
17547	Has starving anything to do with the matter?
17547	How can the General Staff at the Navy Department be trained?
17547	How can we have?
17547	How could our scouts find out anything whatever about the size, composition, and formation of the enemy-- even of his speed and direction of advance?
17547	How could we ascertain?
17547	How is it done?
17547	How long shall any nation stay upon the table- land?
17547	How was it accomplished?
17547	If Japan has learned our secret and mastered it in fifty years, will China not be able to do it in less than fifty years?
17547	Is it essential, and if so, why?
17547	Is it not that the helmsman acts through the medium of mechanism, while the generals act through the medium of men?
17547	Is not modern civilization, with its attendant complexities, rivalries, and jealousies, provocative of quarrels rather than the reverse?
17547	Is not the superior civilization of the present day a mechanical civilization pure and simple?
17547	Is there any change toward peaceful methods now?
17547	Is there_ no_ probability of this?
17547	No general answer can be given to the question:"In what detail shall the orders be?"
17547	Now what does the questioner mean by"probable,"and what does the officer think he means?
17547	Now what kind of"something"would be done under the stimulus of the outbreak of a war for which a country had not laid its plans?
17547	Now why are the office boy and the darky stimulated by these games?
17547	Of what parts should it be composed?
17547	Shall the United States take action now or wait until it is too late?
17547	Since when has a navy consisted of brass and iron?
17547	Since when has the mind and character of man taken a place subordinate to matter?
17547	So what is the outlook for the future, both for the United States and other countries?
17547	So what reasonable hope does even Christianity give us that war between nations will cease?
17547	Strictly speaking, how can there be any courage except moral courage?
17547	The latter is the easier way; is it the better?
17547	These analogies may seem forced-- but are they?
17547	This being the case, what forces exist that may reasonably be expected to change that trend?
17547	This brings us to the important question,"how powerful should our navy be?"
17547	This may seem absurd, and perhaps it is; but why?
17547	This raises the question:"What units shall we need?"
17547	To what are these misses due?
17547	WILL THE IMPORTANCE OF NAVAL POWER INCREASE OR DECREASE?
17547	What are we toiling for?
17547	What do you do?
17547	What is that line?
17547	What principles should be followed in designing, preparing, and operating it in order to get the maximum return for the money expended?
17547	What professional calculator, what lawyer''s clerk was ever more careful than Napoleon was, when dealing with problems of war?
17547	Where shall it be gotten?
17547	Which is the more powerful ship?
17547	Who should examine the reports?
17547	Who was ever more attentive to details, who more industrious, who more untiring?
17547	Why have they endured longer than the others?
17547	Why would she not?
17547	Why?
17547	Will civilization, commerce, or Christianity impart that force?
17547	Will other countries seek foreign trade?
17547	With Map PREFACE What is the navy for?
17547	With such an example before her, should we be surprised that China has also become inoculated with the virus of commercial and political ambitions?
17547	Would Great Britain interfere in our behalf?
