STEAM THE FOE Of MYTHS
Sailor Superstitions Rapidly Dis
appearing From Memory.
WRESTLING FOR WIND
Difference Between Latin and Teutonic
Seamen-Weird Powers at One Time
Believed to Have Been Pos
sessed by Firms.

Not the least of the mighty changes
wrought by the advent of steam as a
motive power at sea is the altera tion
it has made in the superstitious no.
lions current among seamen from the
earliest days of Seafaring. In the hur-
ry and, stress of the steamboatman S
life there is little scope for the indui-
gence of any fancies whatever, ana the
Old sea traditions have mostly dled out
for lack of suitable environment
Perhaps the first old belief to go was
that sailing on Friday was to court
certain disaster. All old sailors dwell
with unholy gusto upon the legend OF
the ship that was commenced on a Fri
day, finished on Friday, named the
Friday, commanded by captain Fri
day, sailed on Friday and-foundered
on the same luckless day with all hands
as warning to all reckless shipoWners
and shippers. But steam has changed
all that. When a, steamers time TOR
loading or dischargng began to be
reckoned not in days, but in hours. the
notion of OBTAINING her in port for a
whole day in Difference to an idea be-
came too ridiculous for entertainment,
and it almost Immediately died nat
ural death. This, of course, had its
effect upon the less hastily worked
sailing vessels, although there are still
to be found in British sailing vessels
artifice to avoid sailing on that day.
Among the Spanish. Italian, Austrian
and Greek sailing vessels, however,
Friday is still held in most supersti-
tious awe. And on Good Friday there
is always regular carnival held on
board the vessels, the yards being al
lowed to hang at all sorts of angles,
the gear flung disheveled and loose,
while an effigy of Judas is subjected
to all the abuse and indignity that the
lively imaginations of the seamen can
devise. Finally the effigy is besmeared
with tar, rope is attached to it, which
is then rove through block at the
main yardarm, it is set alight and
amid the frantic yells and excavations
of the seamen it is slowly swung a!oft
to dangle and blaze. while the excited
mariners use up their remaining ener-
gies in a wild dance.
A Jonah on Board.
Another superstition that still sur
wives in sailing vessels everywhere is,
strangely enough, connected with the
recalcitrant prophet Jonah. 1t is, how
ever, confined-to his bringing misfor-
tune upon the ship in which he sailed,
and seldom is any allusion made to his
miraculous engulfing by the specially
prepared great fish. 1t does not take a
long series Of misfortunes overtaking
ship to convince her crew that lin
cal descendant of Jonah and an inher-
itor of his disagreeable qualification is
a passenger. So deeply rooted is this
idea when once it has been aroused
with respect to any member of a ships
company that person is in evil case,
and. given fitting opportunity, would
actually be in danger of his life. This
tinge of religious fanaticism cropping
up among class of men who, to put
