"The Battleship Boys in Foreign Service; or, Earning New Ratings in European Seas" by Frank Gee Patchin is a fictional adventure story likely written in the early 20th century. The book follows the escapades of two young sailors, Dan Davis and Sam Hickey, from the U.S. Navy, as they navigate the challenges and excitement of their first foreign cruise in Europe, including a dramatic encounter with thieves in Paris. The opening of the story introduces Dan and Sam, who are exploring Paris after arriving from their battleship, the "Long Island." Their adventure takes a turn when they hear a woman's scream and rush to intervene, believing they are attempting to rescue two women from a robbery. However, in the process, they mistakenly assault a group of police officers instead, resulting in their arrest. As the story unfolds, it sets the stage for the boys' subsequent misadventures, highlighting their bravery and resourcefulness as they inadvertently become embroiled in troubles while trying to do the right thing.
