In the old navy it often happened that officers who had earned the ill will of the bluejackets actually feared to go for'ard at night after lights were out, and there was a reason. Such officers, taking the chance, would no foot under the fo'¢’sle, where, after lights out, there was only the dim [Hlumination of a single standing light, than they would have to dodge nll manner of missiles “soup and bully” cans, choeking blocks, mess gear, boots, anything and everything throwable that the sallors and marines, In and out of thelr ham- mocks, first laid their hands upon. On such an occasion the officer who was the target had but one thing to do, and that was to scoot aft as fast as his legs would carry him. He could make complaint to the commanding officer the next day If he were foolish, but he rarely secured the punishment of any men for'ard. The throwers couldn't be singled out. But there are modern occurrences in the American navy equally illuminat. ing. A deck officer who had gained the extreme {ll will of the men for'ard svas attached to a cruiser on the China station some years ago. He was a fine drillmaster, and it became his duty to take landing parties of the ship's company ashore at Chemulpo for drill instruction. When the men for'ard heard of this order the word “lay down” went around among all hands. It was a slouchily accoutered gang of 100 bluejackets that appeared on deck to compose the first landing party. There seemed nothing particularly the matter with the men’s military makeup except that there was a general look of slovenliness about them.

On ships attached to which there have been two assistant engineers, one of them liked and the other of them out of favor with the black gang, it has frequently been that the speed of the ship during the watches of the disliked engineer has fallen short by knots of the speed got out of the engines by his brother officer And so it goes, Things are about the same the world over, and men are hu- man on board ship as well as they are on dry land. A gang of rallrond con- struction hands will “lay down” on an unpopular foreman in just about the same way that a disaffected gang of bleejackets will “show up” an unpopu. lar officer, But “laying down" fsn't mutiny, Washington Star, wer can tions © Ties iii were ie ii watch In the Are rooins hours at a » wouldn't t of h count Pres Le iso stand observed His Preference.
