person and subject to all sorts Of brutal
treatment "It takes hard and reckless
men to go before the mast on winter
voyage or wash decks when the water
nearly freezes on their hands. The more
hardened these fellows get, the greater
Is the task to manage them when they
get near port and frequently they must
be summRrily dealt with Dsobedient
