Exaggerated ideas prevail concerning

interest in the matter of the punishments
in vogue on board mcn-of-war under our

nation has been given on what was be-
fore a rather obscure subject.

a sensitive. fellow VINO thinks that he is
disgraced forever If the irons touch him.
The hardship comes when they are con-
fined in irons on bread and water, and |
have seen men almost starved on this
,iief. The irons are either double or SIM
gle, the former being on both hands and
legs and tine latter on either. lnthe case
OF double irons the feet are usually
chained to the deck, through an iron
ring. This generally prevents them from
standing, while their hands are manacled
in their laps.
Occasionally it was found a good
thing to scare q man thoroughly, and
then he might expect to be sent 70 the

certain period. He might be placed on
the yard itself (as the illustration shows
