Jack Not Always Victim.

A shipping master named Millet put
a sailor aboard the British freight
steamship Beltor, Just before she left
her Brooklyn pier for Fernandina.
Mlilct had received an advance note
from the agents of the ship for SIS.
the amount of the sailors wages for
one month. The note was payable
after the ship sailed. provided. of
course, that the sailor should be
aboard. Feeling sure OF his man, Mil.
let paid him Sl2, his share of the ad-
vance money. The other So represent.
Ing Jacks expenses for board aud other
things, the shipping master retained.
Jacks baggage was put aboard and
he appeared to be ready for the voy-
age. A moment after he got the
money, however, he climbed over the
ships side and went running up the
pier. Millet saw him and started after
him. After leaving the pier Jack ran
into n saloon. Millet came in painting
and saw Jack standing placldly up
against the bar drinking schooner OF
beer. A throng of longshoremen were
doing likewise at Jacks expense. NIL
let said; Come, man, hurry with your
drink; the ship Is going to pull out In a
moment"
Jack stared hard at Millet, and said;
"What ship are you talking about?"
Mlllet asked Jack to quit fooling and
come along. Jack looked indignant,
declared that he was an honest British
sailor, and had no recollection OF hay-
ing seen the shipping master before.
Then he grew warm and said he sus-
pected that AIillet intended to ''shang
har' him, but with the help OF the
honest laborlng men present he hoped
to prevent any such high handed pro-
ceeding. The longshoremen growled
approyingly~of Jacks sentiment. NH.
let began to get nervous. Jack invited
the bartender to fill 'em up again for
all hands. Millet saw there was not
much hope of getting Jack to return
TO the ship. so appealed to him to Mt
least give back the $12. Jack said that
inasmueh as he had never seen the
shipping master before, he did not see
how 1t was possible for him to have
any OF the shipping masters money.
The longshoremen growled again In
chorus and moved toward the shipping
master, who got out In hurry. The
honest sailor was still setting 'em up
several hours later, and the longshore-
men were swearing that they would
see that nobody interferred with his
rights.

THE SAILORS SLANG
Names That Sailor-Men Use To Their
Mates While Abroad.


Our sailors having acquired q re-
markable slang of their own, as will
be seen by the following, which are in
daily use on board:
The boatswain is Tommy" or Tom
ms, Pipes"
The carpenter is "Chippy."
An able seaman "jarbee."
a stoker is a "cinder knotter."
The Master-at-Arms Chief of Police
Is the '.jaunty"
His assistants ships corporals) are
called "crushers."
A carpenters crew is wood spoil.

the drummer, "Stieks"
Biscuits are hard tack" and pre-
served meat, Fanny Adams" 1t Is al
50 referred TO as ''soup and bully"
Fresh meat boiled with vegetables In
the copper is copper rattle" while
plum pudding is plum duff' or ''hggy
dowdy."
TO be asked by messmate to pass
the lighthouse" is simply request
for the pepperbox; similar request
for a ''gibby" means spoon.
TO hear man being SMASHED
means that he has lost his petty officer
rating, while to hear that he got a
lift expresses the opposite-that he
has received promotion.
a man breaking his leave Is said To
be "stething it," and II after punish
meDt he is heard to upbraid himself for
his folly, he Is said to be ..fiogging the
cat Long may your big jib draw

tack" has far different meaning.
Cooking a chest like half-pay ad-
mlrar' is often used to describe the
bulk OF person who is considered TO
be putting on side.
70 be told that you look like IA billy
goat In stays Is not a compliment.
To spin a cuff'' is to tell a story, and
to be told to cut the latter signifies
you are to stop and generally to go on
with the job In hand.
The order to "heaye round's' "look
suippery," or shake leg" means
you are to make haste.
10 top your boom" or "shoye or Is

yersing with.
While the modern expression, well,

its equivalent. We'll, you paul my cap

cooking day"-a drop too much. The
sun Is said to be "over and foreyard''
when referring to anyone not sober,
and TO hear OF so-and-so having "rolled

"Raggie" doesn't sound very select.
but such is the expression used on the
lower deck. Once man takes a Xix
Ing to one man more than the remand
er of the ships company, they Mt once
become known as .sraggles."
Naval proverbs are interesting. but
not very expressive. For instance,
"Flrst on the topsail and last in the
beef skid" is that expression made con
corning a smart seaman.
Pick him up and pipe clay him and
he'll do again. is often used to express
that a marine has slipped down lad
der leading to the lower deck.

Live out life's day

Or weary work we seek for rest

No perfect man on earth we see,

But wend our way with faith and hope
