DOG WATCHES.
Four Different Theories ms TO the
ORIGIN Of the Term.

RNAk<fH OF Anr TERM.
Four distinct explanations have been
given OF the origin OF the term dog
watch" one. which commeiIds itself
as probable in the mouth of a sailor.
is that il Is really the dodge" watches,
two short watches from 4 to q and
from 10 s, introduced so that the
crews may get continual change OF
hours of duty and each man have only
his fair share in the small hours of the
morning.
Others maintain that the dog watches
take their title from the fact that they
are short and fitful In character, so
that the phrase is akin TO dog sleep.
Admiral Boys, in lecture at the
United Service institution in London
in 1889, remarked that he believed dog
watches are so called because dogs are
nj times employed on shipboard, as in
the army. for keeping watch as scouts
or sentinels.
Others connect 1t with the Scandi.
nayian dagmalastad, day watch, cor.
rnpted into dog.
Theodore Hook wittily explained dog
watches to be watches that are cur
tailed.-London Standard.
