THE TAKING OF
A MAN=O'=WARSr1AN
Just What Jacks Daily Life Is Aboard the Receiving Ship
and While at Sea-BuSy Days at the Various
Navy Recruiting Stations.

The landsman Is a man who has no
knowledge of sea life. He must be ma
tive born and between IS and 25 years
Of age. The ordinary seaman must
have been at sea at least two years and
must pass an examination. The sea-
man must have had four years expert
ence and his examination is more rig
| orous. The prentice, when he reaches
the age of 81, is usually qualified for
seaman's rating. The landsman,
after three years If he enlists, becomes
an ordinary seaman and may be pro-
NOTED. He has no hope, as the SOL
| dier has, of earning a commission in
time of peace; though in war anything
is possible.
The man who enlists is usually with
out dollar in the world. Within a
few minutes after he has left the cap
tain's office, he is in debt to the navy
department s40.O3 the price of his out
| fit. This outfit is delivered to him by
the pay-master's clerk or yeoman, af-
ter the recruit has been measured by
the Bertillon system, and he proceeds
Immediately to put on his new togs.
His blue uniform he finds lacks one
feature. There is no ribbon around the
cap showing in gilt letters the name
of the ship to which he belongs. That
will not come until he is assigned.
Meantime he need not worry about
| the figure he will cut with his friends,
for he will not have shore leave til
he has worked out the price Of his nut
Mt. That may be in four months, and
1t may not be in five or six. Forty dol
lars is a big debt when your pay is
only SIG month.
BREAKING EN- IN.
Breaking the landsmen in 70 sea
| duty on receiving" ship is not n
disagreeable business on either side.
The men, as a rule are enthusiastic
about the service, and though the old
timers may guy them little, no haz-
ing is permitted The fare they get
is quite good-better in fact than thew
can expect to get when they are away
from land.
The raw recruit has to earn this food
| and his SIG pay by cleaning the decks,
polishing the brasses and doing other
| plain work about the ship. and by
| practiclng the infantry drill and the
setting-up drill every day. But for the
| most part, the period just after enlist
ment is a period Of idleness. The lands
man learns to sling his hammock and
is educated in the language of the
bells. the boatswain's whistle and the
bugle; but beyond that, he is not kept
very busy. If he is an enthusiast,
though, as most raw recruits are, he
welcomes the day when he is assigned
to duty and, singing his "dity" bag
over his shoulder, he starts away, with
a squad of blue-jackets, to take the
train for Norfolk or whatever the
point may be at which his ship is
waiting. There he goes aboard, reports
and is entered on the list of the ships
crew.
A fixed number of men is assigned
to each ship-so many landsmen, so
many ordinary seamen, so many sea-
men, and so on through all ratings.

THE MAN VINO KNOWS II ALL

This world is full of misery
That ought not to exist.
Folks have no right to charge to Fate
The luck that they have missed.
We take the wrong road to the goal,
And stumble, trip and fall,
When right next door, perhaps, there
lives
The man who knows it all.
He's ready, too to give advice.
If you are INDECENT,
He'll tell you what you ought to do,
And not charge you cent.
The fault is yours, If you go wrong,
And fall, and have to call
For help. You should have gone and
Asked the man who knows it all.
Oh. what a wretched, wretched place {
This erring world must be,
Without the constant help vouchsafed
By him and such as he
So when you meet him anywhere,
Before him PROSTATE fall,
And worship, as you ought to do,
The man who knows 1t all!

at IL O'Clock. An hour later the men
may be ordered to man the boats. Some
OF them may be put at repair work,
which Is always going on aboard ship
or at other duties. There is always
plenty to keep them busy till o'clock,
when the supper call Is sounded. AT 6
the men are called to evening quarters
when everything is examined to see
that II is secure for the night
AMUsEMENTS.
Then the sailors sling their ham
mocks and for the intervening time un-
til 9 o'clock they may amuee them
selves as they like. Some of them
spend the time In playing cards. some
in athletic games, some with concer-
tina or violin, some In smoking and
"yarning." The sailor is a great talk
er and he seems to have as much to
saw at the end of his three years terms
as he had at the beginning. In this
particular he Is different from the Of
ficers in the ward-room, who get heart
lily tired OF each other before a cruise
Is ended.
Jack is not only a great talker, but a
great eater and in many cases a good
share of his $40 a month goes for food
to supplement his regular rations. The
ration is reckoned at 30 cents day
and it consists of good, substantial
food in what a landsman ashore would
consider liberal quantity. Under the
regulations, fresh meat and fruit can
not be served oftener thas four times
a week unless ordered by the surgeon:
but this is no privation, for the old
tar. accustomed to a diet of hard tack
and salt junk, often complains IL he
is forced to eat soft bread and fresh
meat.
On all ships some of the rations are
commuted-that is, drawn in money.
At one time it was in the discretion Of
the captain. to commute any of the
sailors rations, but the regulations
now limit combinations to one-fourth
of the whole number, and require that
the fresh food bought with this COM
mutation money shall be served to all.
When the ship is in port, the sailor
fares almost as well as the recruits on
the receiving ship.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-03-15
From the Philadelphia Press.


The life Of a sailor is hard even under
the best conditions, but it is an inter-
esting life; and every day good-look-
ing. intelligent and well-dressed young
men offer themselves as candidates for
the blue uniform. Most of these appli-
cants have been found unfit for service:
$4,000 men and 1900 boys were rejected
for physical disability and other causes
last year--more than four-fifths of the
applications The physical defects
which are a bar to service in the navy
in time of peace include impaired Wis
ion, impaired hearing, defective teeth,
communicable diseases and a long cata-
logue OF weaknesses or chronic all
ments. For Jackie" is required by the
regulations to be "of robust frame, in
telligent, and of perfectly sound and
healthy constitution" 1t was $50 of
this class of citizens, native and adopt
ed, that went to death in Havana har-
bor
At convenient points along the coast,
where there are naval stations, are
placed receiving ships-old hulks, once
serviceable in the wooden navy, but
worthless in these days of big guns.
There are eleven Of these ships Mt Phila-
delphia, New York, Boston, Washing
ton, San Francisco, etc.
TAKING THE OATH.
IL is an impressive scene when seven
or eight young men gather in the cap
tain's office, hat in hand, to take the
oath which completes their enlistment.
1t is the last step which virtually cuts
them off from freedom for three long
years. However little they may like
the service, once they have taken the
cath, they stay aboard ship for thirty
six months or lose their citizenship and
risk imprisonment at Boston. How irk-
some the privation of his independence
may be to the sailor is shown by the
fact that 1,149 men gave up their citi-
Zenship actual or prospective last year
rather than serve out their enlistment.
You do solemnly swear" says
the captain, holding the Bible in both
hands as he stands before the little
group of recruits; and with right hand
uplifted they take oath to the state
ments made in their applications. Be
fore this all of them have been strip
ped and examined by the surgeon to
see if they are qualified physically.
After the brief seance with the cap
tain they go to the lower deck of the
old ship and draw their uniforms. Be
fore night they have put aside their
citizens clothes and are wearing the
blue flannel uniform.
The ratings of the men who enlist
are various. Apprentices, of course,
are not actively in the service, though
large proportion of the 1000 now at
Newport, Mare Island, etc, can be used
to man the ships even now, and many
have been transferred for that purpose
The grades above apprenticeship for
which men enlist are chiefly lands
men, ordinary seaman, seaman and
coal passer. The pay of these is SIG,
$40. s24 and s22, respectively. Firemen,
sailmakers, shipwrights. ETC., receive
more.
