NAVAL DISCIPLINE.
Puntshments That Are Melted Out to
British Sailors.

BRUSH SAILORS.
For infraction Of regulations some
curious punishments are melted out in
the English navy. 1t is an everyday
occurrence, says London Tit-Bits, to
see half a dozen sailors lined up on
deck facing tie paint work, holding
their hammocks on their shoulders. At
first the hammock isn't heavy, but aft
er an hour or so it drags on ones shout
ders like lead. Besides, 1T is not at all
entertaining to stare fixedly at square
foot of painted woodwork for an hour
or more at time.
Another punishment that Jack de-
spises is bailing with a spoon. He is
placed upon the deck, with two large
wooden buckets, one filled with water
and the other empty. With q spoon he
must dip all the water from one buck
ct and transfer it to the other, being,
meanwhile, the butt of his comrades
jests and jeers.
Sometimes a delinquent is made to
walk slowly backward and forward
along the deck, nursing in his arms a
six inch projectiie. weighing a little
over 100 pounds Once sailor, who
laughed at the stamm ering speech of
his commander. was made to stand up
on the forebridge, In full view of the
ships crew, and laugh for an hour and
q half
Splitting upon the deck of a man-of-
war is strictly prohibited. Cuspidors
are placed at intervals along the deck,
and these must be used. Upon some
ships, when a sailor is caught splitting
upon the deck, small tub is strapped
to his chest, and he is made to wear it.
Any one who chooses may use this
walking receptacle. The offender thus
punished rarely repeats his offense.
