The sailor man, when in deep water, can
not conceal the feeling of superiority with

An artist who boarded a grimy tugboat
clad in white linen found his coat covered

had scrubbed the garment for 20 minutes hes
was satisfied.
Then it occurred to him to starch the coat.

watch
He was perturbed The crew laughed and
he rebuked them. They bided their time.
Then one of them told the artist that the
proper way to restore the coat to its normal
color was to tie line to it, heave it over
board and tow it for few hours, The artist,
did so.
When he went below deck hand hauled
the coat aboard, united the line and hiding
the coat made fast a ragged piece OF white
duck and threw it overheard.
When the owner of the coat pulled in his'

And he didn't know just how to accept a.

was that shark had seized the coat, until
the garment was restored to Hmm. Y.
