Out O'Luck

In 'Diary Of A Hapless Recruit', Thorne Smith, the great American humourist, first practiced his trade lampooning his own experiences serving in the navy, poking fun at the military powers that be, at his shipmates and himself - not least his talent for getting into romantic scrapes - to great comic effect. 'Out o' Luck' is the sequel which continues the record of his own madcap escapes as a sailor through to 1918 and his demobilisation after the war.
