On sailing vessels, as a rule, the captains and officers express themselves in a man her similar to that of the common sailor On men-of-war, however, the superior of- ficers use more elegant language and leave the common terms to the boatswain and the other petty officers. An officer who had obtained nearly all of his knowledge of navigation from books, was once superin- tending the hauling home of the maintop- sail sheet when it's progress was suddenly checked. Calling seaman, ssthe officer gave him the following order My man, ascend the shrouds and proceed outward until you gain the starboard extremity of the mainyard. .Ascerta1n the cause, or causes, which impede the main sheet. " "Ay, ay, sir, replied the sailor, who rush. ed up the rigging until the mainyard was reached. Here he paused and gave him. self mp to reflection. It was quite evident that he did not understand the officers or der. The boatswain's mate approached the officer, and, touching his hat, said
 ''I fear, sir, the man did not understand your order; had I not better give it to him i'll language which he will under stand?" The officer gave his sanction to the proposition, and the boatswains s mate exclaimed: 'sHere,, you soup-swilling son of a sea-cook, lay out on the starboard yard-arm and see what in the flames ot blazes. is the matter with the topsail sheet. ' The sailor then understood tlie Forder,f and after bestowing a look Fof gratitude upon the boatswain s mate for having volunta- rlly become his interpreter, he proceeded to obey his instructions.
