A contemporary makes some remarks upon the |
of Jack ashore. There will always be a |
certain percentage of ''bad hats" among any large
body of men out of 700 or 500 sailors we expect
few will disgrace themselves and the uniform they |
wear by drunkenness and debauchery. As a body, |
however the sailors of ships of well be- |
haved a set of men can be found, and we de- |
cidedlv think the remarks of our contemporary |
uncalled for Even if Jack does exceed little, so
long as he is moderately quiet and does not inter
fere with the comfort of others, little allowance
should be made for him. considering his long sea |
voyages and the little chance he has of getting |
amusement ashore. We must not be hard on poor |
Jack.
