The ofiicers Themselves having been kIcked
aad b4agci Through the fOrccss:le are too
apt 20 apply the same rule % those
under them. Add then there are . good
many bad, vicious sailors who richly de-
serve all they get.
When first went to sea, We lived rrin-
cipally upon hard bread and beef. The
beef was often of the poorest quality, and
called by Jack old horse. He
often apostrOphised his meat thus:
III
From Saccarap to Portland pier I've dragged
lumber for many year;
And after toll aud sore abuse, I'm sailed down
for sailors use."
Flour was allowed US twice week in
u kind Of pudding boiled in q bag, plain,
mixed with salt water. The cook often
spoiled it. This was the greatest luxury
we had.
Then we had beans twice week with
pork. Not the nice pot of beans of New
England, but beans spoiled by some stu
pid cook. Salt Goldfish was allowed once
4 week; also rice, which the sailors nick
named, "S;rike me blind"
In good ships they give US plenty of
potatoes for some time after leaving port,
and corn meal made into mush. "Soft
tack, a. sailors called fresh bread, Was
luxury not enjoyed in many ships. Sugar,
butter and pastry the sailor never sees.
Many time have I sat down to my
supper, consisting of my pot of tea (sweet-
ened with molasses), and such tea! we
used to call it "studdingsail boom tea" it
was so coarse, and little hard bread,
which We soaked the weavils and bugs
out of before we could eat it; and that to
have hard nights work on (of hard
ship, exposure and toilD
This fare we always took as we could.
A table and seats were considered by
Jack an absurdity, only it to be used in
the 'land of knives and forks
