DAVID CLARK,
SEA LAWYER, U. S. N.

nantly to the mad harpings of the hardest
gale that ever billowed the ocean.
Though his services as lawgiver of the
ship was labor of love, and the only fee
he extracted was prayerful attention. and
though his counsel invariably met disas-
ter when it attempted the uncertain navi-
cation of the quarterback, his highly
respectable and fatherly appearance in
splred confidence, and the younger por-
ton of the men sat at his feet crew of
Gamahels, drinking in the weightful
words of their st. Paul.
Possibly the cause of so many reversals
which Attorney Clark suffered at 'the
mast may have been owing to the fact
that he dispensed advice from an unwrit-
ten code, or else an unwritten interpreta-
ton of the "blue-book' laws. Albeit, his
fame as ''fieet barrister,' as he was called,
was untarnished, and business was good at
the old stand under the to'galIant fore
castle, where Dawes lawmill ground out
legal solutions that never solved.
On board q man-of-war the breadth and
scope of obedience to an order from su-
perior is always debated and never settled.
The rules and regulations give small lati-
tude to the subordinate and little discre-
ton. Clark held that man should follow
his official instructions, even il he followed
them overheard. There was no evidence
that this profound law student ever applied
his readings to himself, or had ever been
in the water through a close attention
to the letter of an order. but his heroic
and very virtuous Interpretation of the
section bearing on the subject sounded
well and the whole watch concurred. Nor

A Natural TOboggan Course Where
GrOwn-Up People Snort.

A Natural Toboggan Course Where
Grown-Up People Sport.
In Perak, state in the Straits Settle
ments, the Malays have one form OF
amusement which is probably not to be had
anywhere else in the wide world. There is
a huge granite slope in the course of a
mountain river, down which the water
trickles two inches deep, the main stream
having carved out bed by the side of a
bowlder.
This rock, the face of which has been
rendered as smooth as glass by the con-
slant flow of water during hundreds OF
years, the Malays-men, women and
chiIdren-have turned into a toboggan
slide.
Climbing to the top of the rock they sit
in the shallow water with feet straight out
and hand on each side for steering, and
then slide down the sixty feet into pool
OF water. This is favorite sport on sunny
mornings as many as 200 folk being
gagged at time and sliding so quickly one
after another, or forming rows of two, toqr
and even eight persons, that they tumble
into pool confused mass of scramolng

There are sea lawyers and sea lawyers in
the navy. In the merchant service the man
before the mast knows no law except what
comes down to him from a handspike, and
even the manner of its induction to his
understanding leaves him in no condition
to retain any of the knowledge. 1t is GER
tainly knocked in too deep for practical use
or it leaks out through the breaks in his
head.
But in the navy the cut-and-dried iron
clad, answering system that governs the
man from cabin to forecastle is builded on
the "blue book, as ''the cerulean-hued vol
ume that holds the rules and regulation"
is called. 1t is the compass, the barometer,
the wind vane, and by it the sailor trims
his sails and weathers the gales of his
three years enlistment. 1t is the safe
guard against encroachment upon his
eminent domain by the brass buttons aft,
and his hope of drifting clear of breakers
when cited TO 1.-THE mast''-that dread
place of official inquisition-to answer for
some misdemeanor.
To be sure he is most likely to do the en-
croaching, as the man from Annapolis is
gifted with more discretion than he, and
possibly more leeway, but he likes to feel
that as an American citizen he has rights
which no gun can batter down, and there
is limit over which the officer must not
step.
1t may not be out of place here for the
writer to ease off little from the course of

and the landscape assumes the gray hue
of winter, very soon she tires of it, grows
restless and discontinued, while her natur-
ally strident voice assumes a sharper and
more disagreeable note. So, at last the
country seat is left to take care of itself,
ana the couple hasten to London, Paris,
herself again. The end of this is sure to
come sooner or later.

Here is the way writer describes what
happens after a rich American girl has

man for husband, says a writer in the

the honeymoon ended, and the realities of
everyday life on the march again. what
sort OF wife does the Anglo-American
bride develop into as a ruler In cases
where the dowry Is large and the devo.
ton not great, this question is of little i'm
portance. In big house there is little
room for clashing, and, if the circle of
friends be only wide and lively enouph
husband and wife will hardly have time
to grow sufficiently familiar for either love-
making or ouarreling. Surprising. how
ever, that the husband should be 40 nm
fortunate as to have conceived anv real
affection for his bride before marriage
and to have evolved any hone that S6e,

mutiny, treason, disobedience of orders,
refusing duty and committing a crime
tending to the destruction of morals in the
service. The accused grinned over these
specifications of charges until Clark,
though senior member of the court, slyly
told him that the mess intended to carry
him into the forehold and fog him sound
ly. He convinced the now angry man
that he could square yards with
the pie-b iters by reporting them at "the
mast" for causing him "much indignity
and great bodily pain" Clark carefully
drilled the dull-witted fellow in the terms
and the complainer solemnly spoke his
little piece to the first lieutenant The
complainant was ordered forward with
severe reprimand, and he as usual lost his
temper and his retort brought about the
usual catastrophe. His eminent and faith
full counsel went down to the "brig" and
comforted him by promising to get the
ships writer, etc.
So this venerable sea-law giver of the
navy practiced to the delight and edifca-
ton OF his trusting shipmates and the
holding capacity of the "brig" until his
retirement from the service with snug
earning of about $4,000 and his elevation to
bench under his own vine and orange
tree on some little Southern California
ranch. Tom GREGORY.
