“RICKS IN THE NAVY
HOW THE MEN CONTRIVE TO PUNISH
UNPOPULAR OFFICERS.
Juck Tar Has Many Effective Ways

Grievances—~The Difference Between
a “Lay Down" and a Mutiny,
imerican men-o'-war's men don't mu-
tiny these days. They know the pun-
ishinent that would be meted out for
that sort of thing, and their average of
intelligence and of esprit de corps is
jutinitely higher than that of fhe crews

and hold the good w
and that the usefulness on board of a
ship of an officer who has sacrificed the
confidence and good will of the men
for'ard Is just as good as gone
3 And go It comes to pass that nowa
days few officers of the United States
navy fall to apprehend well It
pays them to make themselves popular
with the men for'ard. 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

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. Each man

attached to which there have been two

been that the speed of the

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
