BATTLEsHIP MAINE DE9pRATED FOR CHRISTMAS

welcome on american warship to an

for they ~ what Yankee hospitality
means. sll0m does crew of an
American vessel on service beyond the
seas sit down TO its Christmas dinner
alone. While he may not be so gen
erous as TO call in the lame, the halt
and the blind, man-o wars men from
more than one imperial battleship or
royal cruiser have occasion to remem-
Der with infinite regret the grub of the
Yankee sailor.
After dinner general leave is grant
ed and in home ports many OF the sail
ors 20 ashore TO visit relatives and
friends. Most of the men, however.
and on a foreign station practically all,
remain on board for the sports TO
which the afternoon Is devoted. Row
ing is the most common feature of
these contests, and where two or more
vessels are gathered together there are
highly exciting races for the champion
ship of the fleet on deck. boxing,
wrestling and fencing vie for fator
with sack races. three legged races and
athletic games which involve quick
work in going aloft and getting down
again. Frequently the programme
ends with a pie eating contest. which
never loses popularity with either par

plea is usually effective.
The distribution OF Christmas mail,
following the athletic programme.
takes the place OF the distribution Of
gifts at home. The farther from

be the greater the interest In this cere-
mony. Much Of the mail may have
been posted by dear ones at home
many weeks before Christmas, but the
letters and packages bear the inscrip-
ton, "Not to be opened before Christ.
mas" and the officers see that the in
Junction is not disregarded. Often the
seals of sacks known to contain Christ
mas mail are not broken until the time
comes for its distribution, that the re-
cipient may derive the greater pleasure
from their treasures by enjoying them
In common.
The officers have their dinner in the
evening. The day has very likely been
a lonesome one in the wardroom, for
II the ship is on home station all the
officers who can get away and who
have families spend the day ashore.
At night, however, they return, bring
Ing their ''sweethearts and wives" with
them. The naval regulations, ordi-
narily ignoring the very existence OF
women, permits them to dine aboard
ship on Christmas day. and few "navy
women" fail 10 take advantage OF such
a privilege A good part OF every Off

the interests OF Yuletide cheer and no
guest has ever hesltated to pronounce

happens that the enlisted men have
a better dinner than their superlors,
for the able seaman is an early bird,
and where supplies are limited he may
corner the market before his officers
know what has happened. The crew
OF a man-of-war on the Asiatic sta
ton some years ago bought up all the
turkeys in Hongkong and Canton and
the officers OF the ship would have been
put to it TO find a substitute had not
the sailors taken pity on them and
given up some Of their spoils.

Of the usual accessories, Christmas on
board a man-ofw war is not essentially
different from the holiday Of the land
lubber. 1t is on the foreign stations,
that Jacky has TO exercise his well
known ingenuity TO create a Christ
mas atmosphere. On many a battle
ship and cruiser have bamboos done
duty as Christmas trees, banana leaves
as holly and cacti as table decorations.
Many a Chinese pheasant or other
heather bird has masqueraded at the
Christmas dinner as a North American
turkey.
The navy's Christmas really begins
at noon Dec "a. After that hour dis
cipline is relaxed and all hands are
piped TO the work of preparing for
the morrow's festivities. The sun must
not rise on masts or yardarms naked
OF Christmas greens. and all night the
cooks galley fires are hot-a special
concession from the "old manipulating
pies and cakes innumerable.
On Christmas morning the usual rou-
tine is omitted. During the forenoon
religious services are held on vessels
on which there are chaplains. Other
wise the sailor man is left TO his own
devices until noon. Then comes the

THE WATER SPIRIT.
Origin of Odd Beliefs About Rescu-
ing Drowning Persons.

Origin of Odd Beliefs About Rescu-
Ing Drowning Persons.
In Great Britain the belief that you
must not rescue a drowning person is
most prevalent In Cornwall and vari-
Gus parts Of Scotland. The French
sailor and the boatman OF the Danube
bow TO the decree, together with the
Russians, and let the people drown.
DIR. Taylor In his primitive Gull
ture" declares this lingering fondness
for this old creed is because the water
spirit Is angry at being despoiled OF its
victim. and should the unlucky person
who has dared to Illustrate him trust
himself TO the waters power he will
drown ms sure ms fate
The Bohemian fisherman shrnks
from snatching a drowning man from
the waters. fearing the water demon
will take away his luck I'm fishing ami
drown him before he gets 10 shore with
the would be victim In Germany
when some one is drowned they say
''Ihe river spirit claims its yearly sac
rifice," or. The nix has taken him."
The belief Is current not alone In
those countries above mentioned. but
the Kamchaikans rather than help a
man out OF the water would force him
under. and II he should escape TO the
shore no one would dare receive him
into his house or dare to give him food.
He Is supposed TO be dead after once
falling into the water.
