CALL OF SEA TOO STRONG
FOR SAILOR WITH $60,000
Legacy Means Nothing' in Yeung Navy Life of Bostonian,Who
Will Re-enlist When Present Term Expires
Although Inheriting $00,000 from an
uncle ulie died recently In Bosten,
Abraham Schneider, twenty years old,
a seaman en the U. S. S. destroyer
Wndswerth, new at the- navy yard, says
Hip sea has called him and he will re
enlist at the expiration of his nxescnt
term of enlistment.
Schneider, tanned by the weather,
clear-eyed and muscular, s well cdu
atcd and of a geed family. He en
isled in Hosteu during: the war and
law service en the U. S. B. New Jersey,
the mine-flweeper Leng Island and the
doitreyer Flcuser.
Hnturilay he received n telegram from
. law firm in Bosten, advising him that
u,M heir te $00,000, left by an uncle.
'I his news did net change his routine
by any means. He continued te de his
work as if nothing had happened. cs
terday he was engaged with paint pet
,nd brush, working en the sides of the
Wndswerth. He wero a pair of blue
overalls, which showed signs of wear.
He was whistling gayly a he spattered
the paint about.
"Are you going into business as seen
as yeu're mustered out of the navy?"
was asked.
He continued te whistle for n mo
ment and then said :
"Ne, I don't think I will. The
money doesn't mean n thing in my life.
The sea calls me and I Jove its many
mysteries. I nm perfectly satisfied with
the navy and will re-enllst just as seen
as my term is up. My present enlist
ment has about a vcar te ee.
"A young man, unmarried, could net
have a better life, lie has plenty ei
geed feed, warm clothes and goedpay.
A sailor is seldom broke. When his
ship touches pert he always lia3 money
te spend. It is n steady Jeb for u
young man. We In the navy have no
worry about jobs. We knew that reed
and shelter await us. We have an op
pertunity te see the world and have
lets of fresh air, freedom and sport.
What else could one desire?
"If I decide te ect married I may
leave the navy, but at present I am
well satisfied te leave the money in
the bank."
Schneider, before enlisting, lived with
his mother, Mrs. Anna Schneider, at 8
Uarten Court, JSosten.
