Ocean Wireless Boys and the Naval Code

Excerpt: &quote;&quote;Up with your helm there, Noddy! Luff her up or you'll have the Curlew on the rocks!&quote; &quote;That's right, luff!&quote; cried Billy Raynor, adding his voice to Jack Ready's command. &quote;That's what I luff to do,&quote; grinned the red-headed, former Bowery waif, Noddy Nipper, as, with a dexterous motion, he jerked over the tiller of the fine, speedy sloop in which the boys were enjoying a sail on Alexandria Bay, above the Thousand Islands. The mainsail and jib shivered, and the Curlew spun round like a top just as it seemed inevitable that she must end her career on some jagged rocks that had suddenly loomed up ahead. &quote;Neatly done, Noddy,&quote; applauded Jack. &quote;We'll forgive you even that awful pun for that skillful bit of boat-handling.&quote; The freckled lad grinned in appreciation of the compliment paid him by the Wireless Boy.&quote;
