in the days when ships fought yard arm TO
yard arm. Jack to-day, has learned that
the steel projectile is superior to the board
ing pike. He has been taught to use his
head as well as his hands, and he under
stands that in war efficiency in handling a
Hotchkiss gun would be mere valuable than
skill with the cutlass. Apprentice boys on
any of our cruisers can give a surprisingly
accurate description of the armament. In
the engine and furnace rooms there is the
same familiarity with the dynamo, distil-
ling apparatus, forced draught and other
improvements in steam navigation that the
sailor on the gun deck shows in explaining
the hydraulic recoil buffer of the gravity
gun carriage.
But this is Christmas morning and at
"Quarters" the officers may substitute for
the arm or fire drills the simple service of
the church. The men are mustered aft on
the gun deck. and the chaplain, standing q
little apart from the officers, at the foot of
the companion hatch, reads the impressive
ritual. Then he prays for the safety of the
good ship and her crew and for the dear
ones ashore. The sermon is a short one but
it goes home to every man before him; for
he tells the simple story of the cross, of the
Christ child, borne earthward on that
wondrous Christmas tide, that has ebbed
s.
The church service never seems more
solemn than at sea. Jack may be rough
and ready, aye, and reckless, too; he DELHI
erately breaks rule OF the ship and is
punished by week in irons IN the brig ~
but his heart is simple as child's, and the
chaplain's voice is to him only an echo OF
the message he hears; in every wind that
blows, the love and power OF the God of
sun and storm. There are traces Of tears

which consist of single board, to hooks

bring on the food. The men of each mess
sit on benches ranged on either side OF the

had ''shore leave" and improved every
minute of it; days in the tropics, where
blazing sun shone down upon green palms
long stretches of white sand and a curling
line of rollers breaking over coral reefs.
Other days are remembered spent on board
water logged merchant ships and storm
swept pilot boats; and, rarest of all, q
Christmas day at home with wife and little
ones.
It is a wild night. The tramp of the
watch across the deck and the rattle of
blocks and tackle can be heard above the
bowling wind and the crash of waves that
smite the cruisers sides with force that
sends the water in spurts through the
closed gun ports. The ship rides the gale
well, but she still carries too much sail; and
the boatswain's whistle is heard again with
the order: ga all hands shorten sail!' On
deck again; pull at lines and braces; and
up into the blackness go the top men,
Every stitch of canvass is taken in this
time, and in darkness so intense that the

is bitterly cold, too, and when the lieuten-
ants trumpet sounds the welcome order,
Lay in !" they do it with will. On such
night as this many topman has lost con-
troll of his fingers and tumbled into the sea
beyond help.
The cruiser, under bare poles, rides easier
now. Nine o'clock comes. And at the
stroke of two bells the bugle sounds tattoo:
taps follow; hammoczs are slung On the
gun deck; and Jack can sleep again. Christ
mas for him has come and gone; and ten to
one every sailor man in those long rows of
swinging hammocks takes trip home be-

On the bridge the quartermaster at the
wheel has no thought apparently beyond
the compass in the lighted pinnacle before
him; the officer of the deck in rubber coat
and boots, stands beside him on the bridge,
looking off through the gloom across the
waste of heaving water, or giving glance
aloft now and then at the bellying sails,
and again ahead at the lookouts by the bow
spirit. The green and red lights in the star
board and port rigging shine bravely, and
the masthead light sends a glimmer down
to the deck, where the men on watch lie
about in sheltered hooks and the sergeant

at l O'Clock the men on watch tumble
up on deck and busy themselves about the
ship, just as on other days. On the gun
deck the men who have four hours ''off''
can employ their time as they please. Some
do little mending, for Jack is his own
tailor; others read, look over their ditty
boxes, spin yarns or play cards. Nearly
all are smoking. Banios and a guitar are
brought out, and to the rhythmic music Of
