His movement in the water Is a sort of

AN UNFORTUNATE SLIP.
How a Jealous Ensign Tangled His
Tongue on His Maiden Watch,

How Jealous Ensign Tangled Ills
Tongue on His Maiden Watch,
This seasons crop of Annapolis
graduates has been neatly distributed
about the navy, and several OF the
luckiest youngsters have settled in the
brooklyn Navy Yard.
One of them was assigned to the
Philadelphia, and one fine morning he
was put on duty rs officer of the deck
for one OF the morning watches. 1t
was his first "active duty" and his
chest expanded a full inch as he
buckled on his sword and marched to
the quarter deck. This was at ten
O'Clock, and his watch was till noon.
In this trick there is but one order to
be given. That comes at seven bells
(half-past eleven o'clock, and is to
this effect:-"Bosun's mate. Pipe
sweepers."
The youngster had .'boned" up on
his duties carefully, and struck a
suberb attitude on the bridge as the
seven strokes began, clearing his
throat to give the regulation nautical
ring to his order. And to make aim
especially careful, he knew, although
he could not see them, that half the
ships company were hidden away
somewhere intently watching his de
but.
So as the seventh bell rang out on
the sultry air he sang out in a voice
to be heard half way across the
basin. "Bo-o-o-sun's mattel"
"Aye "aye, sir! responded that
functionary, stumbling aft with his
whistle in his fingers.
"Swipe peppers"
The boatswain's mate en5eavored
to pucker for n whistle but his lips
divided in grin that made blowing
impossible, while q shout of laughter
came from all along the deck.
'No, no." stammered the unfortu-
nate ensign, al mean Peep swip-
ers.'"
The boatswain's mate nearly fell in
fit at this, and the screams ot
laughter from the on lockers well
nigh started the cruiser from her
moorings.. The youngster lost his
head completely at this second dis
nster, and it took seven men to keep
him from jumping into the East
River.
The whistle Was finally sounded and
the sweeping trick was done, but the
youth had his meals brought to him
in his berth all that day, and spent
his months pay the following twenty
four hours in buying the silence OF his
, comrades.-New York Herald.
