RUSSIA'S SEASICK NAVY.

Any man who believes in the Russian
navy should keep his eyes of the Russian
bluejacket a real Sailorman has fingers
bent up like nshhoOks. from the lifelong
habit Of griping, things. The Russian
sailor carries his hands like a soldier and
cannot possibly be handy a sailor s
gait ashore has a slight roll This arises
from the need at sea of keeping UP the
WIndWaTd side Of a rolling ship. Ard the
rolling gait marks one of the sailors finest
uaities-balance- Unless the body poises
and balances to meet every motion of a
ship the result is SeaSickness
Now, the Russian bluejacket does not
roll in his gait ashore but marches Mel
ther has he any sense Of balancing at sea,
and seasIckness in the Russian heet is a
source of actual weakness and danger
The Black sea squadron can only put TO
sea IN the three calmeSt months of sum
mer, and the sO-called maneuvers take
place ashore on the Renal peninsula cor
Sisting merely of battalion drill.
One more trait of the real sailor is his
self-reliance- which makes him mt for fac
ing emergencies Single-handed. But the
Russian bluejacket has none of this He
is not a machine in himself, but only a
little bit OF machine which cannot work
without the other bits He is huge in

to distinguish him from a soldier I'm
