extracted text (Extract Text): THEY are getting their first lesson in crew

pulling, and from the wild way some of
them are waving their oars it’s the first time
they ever rowed at all. The Navy is ever
confronted with this job of making real sea-
men out of green sailors, and so it has built
rowing-tanks like the one shown here at all
large naval stations. The tank and the two
rows of seats are made of concrete.

The instructor stands at the tank’s
edge, and shouts orders to the hard-
working crew, who can’t get away from
the sound of his voice no matter how !
hard they pull. Up and down the aisle
between the rows runs another instrue-
tor, shouting through a megaphone at
erring individuals.
