Decorum is always observed by sailors
at such times; but now they were all
affected to tears, and when the body
was slid from the plank into the
sea, every one rushed instinctively to
the ships side to take last look. The
usual weights had been attached
to the feet, yet, as if in compliment to
their anxiety to see more of him, the
body rose perpendicularly from the
water breast-high two or three times.
This incident added greatly to the as
tonishment already created in the minds
of the men. l beg leave to remark that
it was not proper to keep the body
longer in the warm latitude we were in.

How and Why the Term Came to Be
Applied to Funeral Directors"
The earliest known use of this word
as applied to conductors of funerals is
by Young, who has the couplet:
While rival undertakers hover round,
And with his spaid the sexton marks the
ground.
The present use of the word is no
doubt derived from its primary mean
ing, one who stipulates to do ANYTHING.
or undertakes the management of any
affair. Two hundred years ago class
of people known as upholders were
usually called upon to take charge OF
the funerals Thus the poet Gay says
The upholder, rueful harbinger of death,
Waits with impatienee for the dying breath
Now, upholders were dealers in
secondhand furniture, old clothes and
the like, and perhaps were SO called
because they were so often resorted to
as the last resource of failing credit
AS these persons were able from
their stock of cheaply purchased
material to supply what was
needed at funerals at less ex-
pense than the regular merchant or
haberdasher. they came to be thus en-
ployed, and also to furnish houses. In
time the more ambitious of this class
confined their business to the furnishing
of houses only, and dealt in goods both
new and old, and to avoid the CON
founding of their business with that OF
the funeral managers styled themselves
upholsters, a name changed latter to
upholsterers. Subsequently the more
pretentious members of the clan of
upholsterers assumed the name OF
undertakers, deriving the cognomen
logically enough from the signification
of its parts in the Saxon tongue. An
undertaken, one who takes in hand a
business or task. or renders himself
responsible for its performance. Or
perhaps the idea of the word was taken
from the French name for the same
office, entrepreneur, though the primary
idea of the French word is rather that
of one who bids for particular task.
Clarendon, in his History" gives the
word with general meaning in the
line, 'Antrim was naturally great
undertaken. +" Honeywood. in s'The
Good -Natured Man" of Goldsmith,
speaks thus of Croaker: His very
mirth is an antidote to all gayety. and
his appearance has a stronger effect on
my spirits than an undertaker's Shop
