SLAVES OF THE SEA

| have often wished, says Frank T.
Bullen, In The Men Of the Merchant
Service" that 1t were possible to make
lads who at school chatter SO glibly
about running away to sea-" under
satnd how impossible II Is to do any
such thing nowadays, except, in
deed. In such vessels as are the last
resort Of the unfortunate.
The vessels of which I speak are
those small sailing craft which stu
drag out precarious existence In
Icompetition with steam. They may
be seen at all our smaller ports, lying
Idisconsolately on mud banks at ebb
tide. oh, SO dirty, so miserable they
look.
Worn out gear. wretched food. and
not enough men and boys to do the
heavy work. they provide a hard
school for young seamen. In them
may be found still the bad traditions
of half century ago.
1t is all very pltlfm side path to
seafaring that must have lent itself to
many abuses. through which many a
poor. misguided lad got away to sea,
and found no place for repentance I'M
til too late. have only mentioned 1t
here because, in speaking Of the boy.
I am painfully reminded OF the miser.
able little sea drudges who are still to
be found in these vessels, leading the
hardest of lives, and uncared for by
any one.
They are worthy OF all sympathy. be-
ing so helpless, so unable to raise
themselves. Their environment is as
bad as It can well be. for, whether
ashore or ahoat, the company they are
in is usually Of a very bad kind. Now
and then. OF course. such vessel will
have a good steady seaman. who has
an interest in her, for a skipper.
A man like that will often carry his
wife. and will endeavor to keep a re-
spectacle crew with him. voyage after
voyage. And as likely as not, he will
take. an interest in the boy, and try to
make something Of him. but such ex-
oeptions are rare.
