with the deck aslew or tread back and

gate of navy yard. He is "soldier and
sailor, too, and is always ready to dc
the work Of both for the pay of one.
Yet we don't give the marine his due

report that the ship has been blown up
and is sinking" is referred to as that
gallant bluejaoket" or "brave sailor
or intrepid jack tar" But Bill An
thony is not a bluejacket at all. He is
8 marine and, as he himself says, only
did what any of his comrades would
have done when, in the midst of that
awful confusion, he forgot to be fright.
ened and remembered only his duty.
The marine is too busy to spend much
time calling for his rights, In time of
peace he is chiefly occupied in policing
the ship. When there is fight going
on in time of war, he is in the thick of
it, getting killed with surprising and
most depressing frequency.
There is q landsman's tradition to the
effect that the sailor hates the marine
with bitter and undying hatred. This
is far from true. The bluejacket has
his little quarrel with the marine, as
he has with every other class of indi-
viduals afloat or ashore, but there is
nothing deadly about the feud. 1t is
merely Jack nature to resent authori-
ty of any kind, and as the marine is
the visible representative of the cap
tain s authority he sometimes vents his
spite on the man with the gun, How
ever, he generally gets along better
with the marines than with his own
messmates, aud the traditional war be.
tween them is largely imaginary.
A marine recruit just assigned to a
ship occasionally develops symptoms
of the disease known as 'duty struck, "
which is synonymio with overofficious.
ness, and thereby foolishly lays the
foundation of years of unpopularity for
himself by taking advantage of his au.
thority to make it rs warm as possible
for the bluejackets. Such a recruit,
however rs quickly reproved by the old
er men of the marine guard aboard.
AS a rule, the ruarines and bluejack-
cts are OF the most friendly terms.
There are few liberty parties of blue.
jackets bound for a good time ashore
that are not accompanied by favorite
sea soldier or two, invited along to help
the sailor men get rid of their money,
for out Of his $l3 month the under.
paid marine does not have large
amount for shore hilarity.
The marine corps partakes in many
features Of both the army and navy,
