Marine Punishment.

An old Maine mariner was talking
about punishments on shipboard.
Some one had referred 10 those cruel
prosecutions alleged against Captain
William Patterson 10y the Jefferson
Borden mutineers, and the Maine
sailor man, who has endured most ol
these chastisement that are visited
upon an incorrigible Jack. fell into
sadly reminiscent mood. Nowadays
offenders escape such stiff and straight
doses as iuexorable shippers had pow
er to prescribe ten or fifteen years
ago. In the navy especially are the
punishments toned down.
In the merchant service an ngly
"old man" can make life hot Tor his
crew. but most captains understand
that this barbarity doesn't pay. y
reputation for turbulence drives away
good men. Only those with tough
hides and red-hot dispositions will
ship with a bullying skipper.
Probably keeI-hauling was one OF
the llost severe OF the old-time pun
ishments. A long rope was run
through a block at the end Of the
yard arm, passed under the ship and
brought up through another block at
the opposite end Of the ward.
The unhappy culprit was stripped
aud made fast 20 this rope. \ detail
stood ready to pull all together. Alta
signal the man was dumped over
board, was hauled quickly around
under the vessel and brought to the
deck on the opposite side, kiching and
strangling. This dose was repeated
according to the mans offence and
his staying qualities.
Tie victims did not grumble 30
much at the douche in the cold seaas
at the fearful scraping they received
against the bottom Of the ship. The
bare hide found knobs, mussels and
barnacles in plenty. There have been
instances in which a shark, straylng
conveniently near, has made hasty
lunch from the anatomy Of marine
as he was hurried past.
II any one is keel. hauled nowadays
he never hears about it.
The lookup on board is called "the
brig" The brig is a sort Of cage in
which an offender is confined on short
rations or no rations at all. Some
times he is ironed and sometimes he
Is unshackled.
Confinement in the brig ism a grew
some punishment at all IN fact, if a
sailor is little tired or feels lazy .he
brig, under most conditions, enables
him to spend day Of leisure very
comfortably. Sailors who come back
to shipboard in an enthoosled state
will have H taste Of brig lIfe.
