Excerpt from Taps: A Book for the Boys in Khaki Then I wanted to warn my readers that they are surrounded by the lights Of a garish day; lights that dazzle and deceive. Many years ago the wreckers, as they were called, burned lights on the Cornish coast to lure vessels to their doom. Many a ship master, deceived by what he thought was a guiding light, found his vessel on the rocks, where he was surrounded by a lawless band who plundered his ship, and if necessary took the lives of the men who sailed her. There are many wreckers along the coast past which you will have to sail; and this book is written to warn you of your danger. The coast, moreover, is strewn with wrecks; and the danger of the voy age is so great that I want again to chart the rocks, and to entreat you to put your life under the control of the One who has Himself sailed these stormy seas, and who because He knows the perils of the voyage, and was in all points tempted like as we are, is now able to succour them that are tempted. He died that He might win the right to control your life; and He lives to exercise that right at the right hand of the Majesty on High. Only make Him Saviour and Lord and all will be well.
