Oddities OF NAVY L9DFE.

~ ONE OF the fresh water.
sailors Of the naval militia
have had 20 learn a good
many things since they be-
came members Of Uncle
Sans war navy. Their ex-
perieness have been those Of every civil
ian who enters the naval service in acouir-
Ing The real salty flavor OF the sea. The
moment he steps foot on board ship he
realizes that he IS indeed q stranger III
strange land.
He discovers that he must learn a new
language and cut the tenor Of his future
existence by a different measure from that
20 which he has been accustomed The
very flrsI thing he notices 5 that the car
dinal points OF his home compass are lost
10 him. He no longer goes upstairs. but
on deck. For downstairs he goes below.
and instead Of front and rear ne finds
that in naval pariaace they are fore and
aft.
The words floor and fail and stairs are
forbidden him. Where he walks is on the
deck. He leans against a bukhead and
ascends or descends a ladder. BY the time
he IS a month II the service he finds that
he is supposed 20 honor with salute not
only every superior officer. but TWO in
animate objects as well. One OF these is
the flag and the other is a division Of the
ship called the quarterback. AT in the
morning and at sunset in the evening, to-
gether with his mates, he faces aft and
reverently bares his head as Old Glory is
raised or lowered. AS a patriotic citizen
he likes the ceremony. and means it when
he does honor to the nag OF his country.
He learns in time that the reason be must
touch his cap when he steps on the quar-
terdeck is because Ii is the seat OF author
ity, and that its snow white pianks repre-
sent the fountain-head of all discipline.
The Quarterback Court.
1t IS here that the captain holds sway
and the officer of the deck who is in
charge Of the entire ship during his watch
issues his orders. Court is held here near
the mainmaSt, which is the forward
boundary of the quarterback, and the long
list OF punishments for infractions OF M
val laws, are melted out to the offenders.
In former years commanders OF naval
vessels had greater latitude in the matter
of punishments than today. When fog
eing and keelhauling Were in vogue a
captain could sentence one of his crew 10
almost anything. but now the rules and
regulations issued from Washington cover
the majority Of cases. II is only for MINOR
offenses that the comma nder of 4 man-of
war can distribute justice.
He generally holds court on the quarter
deck several times a week. There, assist
ed by the executive officer, he gives one
man three months restriction to the ship
for smoking out of hours. another
weeks extra bright-work cleaning for be-
ing late with his hammock. and still an
other a months restriction for being over
leave
To the casual observer these would seem
snapshot judgments. but, in fact. they
have been determined beforehand In an
interview with the executive Officer. When
a case is grave enough TO warrant more
severe punishment, the offender is placed
under arrest and held for summary or
general court-martial. The captain OF a

AS IN police courts ashore, punlshments
differ on different ships. Some captains
are known for the p!cturesqueness of their
punishmentS and others are famed Ike

their solomon like judgments. Many an

The captain OF the old kcArsarge, dur
ing one OF her early cruises. laid great
stress on ridicule as penalty. He spent
(. part of his time inventing new and novel
punishments for his crew, some Of which
proved useful, while others only brought
ridicule 10 his own door. One cf his most
successful was the calling out Of the pun
ishment and the crime al every bell By
