tnelr mondays SO fully as
A- the jackies, writes a re-
tired naval officer. The life on
board warship is at bes,
very confined and necessarily
strict and severe. There is the
suggestion of a prison in the steel
walls and narrow quarters and the
regularity of the hours and meals. The
life of the jackies is made up almost
entirely Of work with very little play.
We learn to enjoy our Christmases the
more when at last they come round.
On Christmas. for once in the year al
least, all rules, of which there are so
many on board battleship. are
thrown to the winds and the jackies
are given the entire freedom Of the
ship. The order which is usually CIV
en- them is that they can spend the day
exactly as they like. and. take any lib
critics they choose short Of blowing up
the ship.
1t sometimes happens when the ship
is in some attractive port that the
sailors prefer to spend the day on
land, and. they are of course always
granted leave of absence. It il sell
dom, however. that the ship is 80 de-
serted that the cabins are not for the
time converted into a veritable pande-
monium. There is no formal celebra-
ton of the day ordered by the gov
ernment. The sailors are simply CIV
en- their liberty and they do the rest.

religious services and there the tiris-
diction Of the captain may be said to
