There were all kinds Of monkeys, big
and little. Several huge ringtails would
almost live in the rigging. making fly
ing leaps from footrope to backstay, al
ways catching firmly by their tails. The
monkeys were mot pleasant creatures
about the decks and were subject of
especial aversion to Midshipman Schley,
who on his watch was responsible for
the decks whiteness and cleanliness.
One morning Schley had the early
watch and, with gang Of men, was
scrubbing down. The monkeys were full
Of mischief and were making the rig

cry.
Bring me bucket Of slush," said
Scbiey to captain of n top, and to an
other he gave orders that two of the big
monkeys should be caught.
Schley took the two captive monkeys
and carefully creased their tails; then.
with q savage whoop at them, struck
both with ropes end. Both monkeys

made wild leap for tho lower studding

and 30 feet from the ships side. Swish
went the tails around the quivering
sheet. Alas. the tails slipped, md two
