Jarury dividend payments. the continued

Increase in savings deposits As there IS
no outlet for this money. the usual winter

EARLY DUTCH SAILORS.
Weird Description of n Former Method
of Naval DIscIpIIne.

Weird Description of n Former Method
OF Naval Discipline.
Keelhauling was n method Of naval
discipline particularly In vogue with
the Dutch navy, for, as Van Tromp
swept the channel with broom at his
masthead, his countrymen sometimes
used human sweepers under their lSeels.
In large square-rigged vessels the vic
tim was lashed to n spar and had iron
weights secured to his feet; spans were
secured to this spar and lines were led
from it to the msinyard. When oil was
ready the culprit was swayed up to the
mainyard, dropped into the sea and
hauled under the ship to the other side.
Hero is the way Marryat describes its
operation in that small cutter where
Smallbones suffered and Snarleyow was
thought to be dog fiend: "This in
genious process" he writes, "is moth
ing more nor less than scudding poor
navigator on a voyage of discovery un-
der the bottom of the vessel, lowering
him down over the bows, and with the
ropes retaining him exactly in his po-
sition under the keelson, while he is
drawn aft by hauling line until he
makes his appearance at the rudder
chains, generally speaking quite out
of breath, not at the rapidity of his
motion, but because when so long un-
der the water he has expended all the
breath in his body and induced to take
salt water in lieu. In the
days of keelhauling the bottoms of YES
sells were not coppered, and in conse-
quence were all studded with a species
of shellfish called barnacles, which at
tached themselves; and as these shells
were all open-mouthed and with sharp,
cutting points, those who underwent
this punishment (for they were made
to hug the keelson of the vessel by the
ropes at each side fastened to their
arms) were cut and scored all over the
body, as if with so many lancets, gen.
orally coming up bleeding in every
part But this was considered rather
advantageous than otherwise, as the
loss of blood restored the patient if he
was not quite drowned, and the conse-
quence was that one out of three, it is
said, have been known to recover aftes
their submarine excursion"
No words can add to this weird de-
scription of very old and hearty sea
way of numbering. All the officers OF
junior and middle rank and all the
men, whether volunteered, shanghaied
or pressed, were Systematically under
paid and robbed. d.-Harper's Weekly.

THERE is hamlet in Hancock coun-
