CHAPTER I
THE VERY BEGINNING OP SEA-POWER
(10,000 years and more B.C.)
Thousands and thousands of years ago a naked savage in southern Asia
found that he could climb about quite safely on a floating log. One
day another savage found that floating down stream on a log was very
much easier than working his way through the woods. This taught him
the first advantage of sea-power, which is, that you can often go
better by water than land. Then a third savage with a turn for trying
new things found out what every lumberjack and punter knows, that you
need a pole if you want to shove your log along or steer it to the
proper place.
By and by some still more clever savage tied two logs together and made
the first raft.
