Preface CADET Officer of the Forecastle on the cruise lust summer was given the following advice by the First Lieutenant: “ Never during your tour of duty permit anything to remain adrift about the deck; whatever you see, if the owner is not at hand, put it at once in the lucky bag.” The Board of Editors, acting in their official capacity, have followed this advice. Whenever a roast, or a grind, or a stray thought worth preserving has come to their notice, they have popped it into The Lucky Bag without waiting to consult the person to whom it pertained. Now, at the opening of The Lucky Bag, we invite all who may be interested in its contents to examine them freely. Should any one be disposed to be offended at finding his property in such a nondescript collection, we beg him to restrain his temper, and to remember that the Board of Editors have acted in strict accordance with man-of-war rules, and in faithful pursuance of a most respected officer’s advice. We desire to acknowledge our obligations and extend our thanks to the friends outside the class that have so materially aided in making the artistic appearance of the book what it is. The designs for the cover, frontispiece, and finis are by Mr. James J. Hawley, of New York, and we need not say how deeply we are indebted to him. He has not only lightened our labors, but he has done what we would not have dared to attempt ourselves. Lieutenant Colvocoresses has aided by his advice in artistic matters, and has also drawn several beautiful designs, which were unfortunately destroyed by fiie at the engravers, together with a large part of our material.
