COOKERY ON SHIPBOARD.
Improperly Prepared Food the Cause of
Scurvy-TraIning of Marine Cooks.

Scurvy-TraIning of Marine Cooks.
The suffering caused by scurvy among
the crew of the ship t. 4. Cakes calls
attention to the establishment in England
of cookery schools devoted exclusively
to the training Of marine cooks A.
Quinlan, instructor of the Seaman Cook
cry school of Liverpool, refers in a recent
communication to the Epicure to the fact
that on ships provided with certi6cated
graduates from the institution named no
cases OF scurVy ever occur. The pupils
are taught how to make fresh food out
of the saltiest of meats, and to concoct
appetizing dishes from all sorts of ships
stores. Mr.. Quinlan instances the case
OF the ship Hollis Hill, which carried one
of his certified cooks. This vessel made
a voyage around the world, and not a
single case of illness occurred among the
crew. Usually on English ships that
make long voyages, desertions are many,
on account of insufficient and improper
ly-prepared food; but on the Hollis Hill
the original crew remained from the be-
ginning to the end of the voyage. This
is looked upon as a phenomenal record,
and is modestly attributed by lIr. Qun-
Ian to the training he impaired to the
Hollis Hill cook The pupils at the
Liverpool school pay about rs cents a
week for instruction, which includes the
most economical use of water, the chem
lstry of food and general cookery.
The chief cooks employed on the great
ocean liners are mainly drawn from ho-
tells and restaurants, and it is difficult
to. dislodge them from marine employ
