Schley began to size up the disconsol ate
looking groups Of quarantined men
slonohinS around on the spardeck up
for'ard of the main stick. He looked at
them ont of the corner of his eye for
while. and then he stepped down the lad.
der and came forward.
"You boys hop into your mastering
clotbes.' - said Schley, E"and when the
steam cutter returns you may go on to
The beach and enjoy yourselves. I'll give
orders to the paymaster to ie6 you all
nave whatever part of your withheld pay
you IL need for day ashore. "
1he happy men set up cheer when
Schley started aft. He wheeled ana re-
turned to the main stick.
"And. 1 say" he put in, as a sort OF
afterthought, fcome back right this time,
you fellows. Act like American sailors,
and thereill be no need OF Quarant1nlng
you any more. don't want a man OF
you to have to be whipped aboard in a
bo'sun's car when you come off to the
ship this time. :"
The men took up the cheer again where
they had left it off, and there wasn't
man in that quarantined gang that
wasn't marked into the log "clean and
sober' when the liberty party returned
aboard late on Christmas night. Amer1-
can bluejaektes put on their honor by q
kindly commander never break their
parole.
In the old navy the bluejaokets had
custom Of asking the skipper to white
wash the books" on New Years morning.
Several dozen of the quarantined men,
whose names had been inscribed on the
bad conduct lists for trivial offences,
would assemble at the mast and ask to
have an interview with the commanding
officer. When the skipper made his ap.
pearance out of his cabin and walked
forward to the mast, the leader of the
bluiaokets would step out of the gang and
Quietly hand the commander new
bucket filed with whitewash, and big
whitewash brush sticking in 1T. This
pantomirne meant that the quarantined
men asked the skipper to "Whltewash the
the bad conduct lists, thereby giving all
hands a chance to begin the new year
right If the skipper took the bucket
from the hands of the bluejacket they
would set up a cheer, for they knew that
he would agcede to their pantomlme re-
quest. But if the skipper shook his head
and declined to receive the bucket, the
men would quietly disperse, always look
| ING cheap. but not making my criticisms.
Schley never turned down gang of
uuaruntinsd bluejackets who presented
| him with a New Years gift OF bucket
of whitewash. He invariably s'whitewashed
the books for the men. his Snip was
lying in the harbor OF MonteVldeo one
New Years morning, and the gang with
the whitewash bucket was unusually
large. Some of the men in the gang be.
fore the skipper had only been quaran-
tined for three or four days. When the
seoond-olass gunner's mate handed the
bucket to Schley he took it, smiling re-
flectively.
'1The Surgeon said he. turning to
the executive officer, ''was talking to
me the other day about giving the men
forward some sort of a tonic while we
cruise in these low latitudes. Well. the
lads may need tonic, but I'm quite GER

scHLEYs POPULARITY.
Heh An ENLISTED Mans Oficer,'' and
That's the Secret.

When Commodore Schley gave orders to
the Brookiyn's officer of the deck, at the
beginning of the fight with Cervera's 4
feet, that the men down below in the
engine and tire rooms should be kept in
formed of the progress of the battle, he
did an eninently Sch1ey-like thing.
Schley has the reputation of being gen.
erous, big-hearted man among the blue
Jackets throughout the whole American
navy-"enlisted mans oMcer, they call
him-and-he has earned the reputation
from hts MILDLY days. The old-timers
tell many story illustrative of Schley' IS
kindIiness as ship commander.
One of these stories, says the Washing
tom Star, reyerts to the period when
Sohley was the skipper of one of the old
cruisers on the Mediterranean station.
One beautiful, balmy Christmas morning
Sohley's ship pulled into the harbor of
VNlefranehe. The ship had been steadily
cruising for couple of weeks, and, of
course, the men had had no shore liberty.
So, when the mudhook was dropped in
Villefranche harbor the gangway bo'sup s
mate, at the order of the officer of the
deck, passed the word that all hands for.
ward who wereEentitle to liberty could
put their names down with the ships
writer for day ashore. The good-con-
duct men set up cheer at the passing of
the word, and they rushed to the ships
writer's desk to get their names down. In
all about $50 of the bluejackets were entit-
led to "hit the beach," as the sailors call
going ashore on liberty. But there were
abol 1T rs of the ibluejackets whose names
were on the bad.conduct list, and they
were, therefore, "quarantines''; that is,
sentenced to remain aboard ship for vary
ing periods ranging from 10 days I'D to
three months. The offences of the quar-
antined men were of minor nature, re-
curing discipline, none of them having
done anything serious. Some of the very
best men in the ships company were,
therefore, booked to remain aboard ship
on this sunshiny Christmas day, while
they watched their happy shtpmates, done
up in their best mastering clothes, depart
over the side FOR merry whirl ashore.
The men ready to go ON liberty were
mustered in patches On the quarterback,
and away they went in boatIoads jingling
the American gold in the chamois bags
suspended by strings beneath their mus
tering shirts. The quarantined men,
looking dismal and down in the mouth,
stood around IN silent parties, smoking
their pipes, and watching the departure
Of their more fortunate shipmates. When
the last cutterload of liberty bound men
had showed of for the shore, Commander
s5chley came out of his cabin door and
