ORIGIN OF FAMILIAR SEA TERMS
Some Are Far Fetched and Most of
Them Are Ancient,

Some Are Far Fetched and Most Of
Them Are Ancient.
There is hardly a language which
has not been called upon to provide
at least one of the sea terms which
are in constant use and whose origin
is so obscure.
For instance, says the Marine Jour-
nal, the word admiral is not of Eng
lish origin, but is from the Arabic
Emil ell Bagh," or Lord of the Sea-
Captain comes from the Latin caput,
but mate is from Icelandic, and means
companion or equal. Coxswain is a
word whose derivation would never
be guessed The coxswain was orig
inally the man who pulled the other
oar in the captains boat, which was
known as the cockboat. This in turn
is a corruption of the word coracle,
small, round boat used on the Kye
and Usk rivers. So coxswain comes
to US from the Welsh.
Commodore is not so difficult to
trace to its beginning. 1t is simply
the Italian commentators, meaning
commander. No such person as Davy
Jones ever existed, though we often
hear of him and his locker. One
should speak of Duffy Jonah's lock-
En-" for that was the original. Duffy
is the West Indian name for spirit or
ghost, while Johnah refers, of course,
to the prophet.
Another curious case of term
gradually corrupted out of it's origi-
mad form Is the dog watch. 1t was
originally the dodge watch" because
it lasted only two hours instead of
four, and thus makes it possible that
the same men shall not be on duty
every day during the same hours.
Then there is the sheet anchor
the name given to the largest anchor
carried by vessel. 1t is really "shote
anchor" and is SO called because of
its great weight, which makes it easy
to shoot out in case of emergency.
Instead of the name port" and
"starboard" which are used nowadays
they used to talk of "larboard" and
"starboard." Starboard has nothing
in common with stars, but is really
the Anglo-Saxon "steor board" for
steer side," because in all galleys
which were steered by an oar the oar
was fixed to the right hand side Of the
stern, and the helmsman held the in
board portion In his right hand. 'Lar-
board" was probably a corruption OF
lower board, the larboard side being
inferior to the other.
The FURY mast" has nothing in
common with jury except its deriva-
r ton from the same word -FOUR" the
French word meaning day. The jury
mast is one which is put up temper
arily-for day-just as jury in its
legal term meant tribunal sum-
moned for q short period only.

LION LAZY AND LAMBLlkE.
Young EneiIshman Has Surprising
Experience in Nigeria.

Young EneiIshnan Has Surprising
Experience in Nigeria.
That the lien is not always the
roaring, tearing beast of legendary de-
scription may be seen in the following
extract from the diary of young En-
| glishman who is at present serving
| his country in northern Nigeria:
81 had just topped a long incline and
was walking my pony. when, on COM
ing around corner of the road, hid
den by some trees, l saw, seventy
yards in front of me, bas'ling in the
sun on an open patch of burned grass,
magnificent full-grown lion. The
sun was not strong, and he was very,
very lazily Ticking his tail from side
to side. He had a short name and his
eyes were a lovely amber red in the
weak sunlight
"My first sensation was one of as
tonishment, profound amazement and
delight at seeing such fine beast. He
was g beauty and it seemed impos-
sible to realize that he was really wild
as he lay on his side, looking at me
when he hears his masters footstep.
He was fat as butter, sleek coated
and glossy.
"My pony, as the breeze was COM
ing from the other direction, did not
wind him, and went steadily on with
out so much as pricking up his ears.
My dog was walking on in front, about
ten yards, and luckily did not notice
him. It was not until I was actually
passing him, which did within TWEEN
ty yards, that I realized that if the
lion took it into his head to fancy
a bit of wtite man should be unable
to disp''e his right.
"Afte. had proceeded some $50
va &c lion got up leisurely and
foil ID along the road behind me,
bu -fter going about 100 yards, he
tu>Led into the bush at the side Of
the road"

HUNT AN.EAriNG TIGERS.

sportsmen Face Many Dangers in
Shooting Feroeious Beast.
Mon who shot the big cats Of the
Indian Jungle" all emphasize the diff
ference between an ordinary tiger
and man eater" One varies from
the other as much as domestic pussy
from wildcat. The man-eater, when
It catches sight Of a hunter is at once
all aflame with the passion to devour
him. 1t has tasted human flesh and
knows its sweetness.
When the Britisher in India goes
tiger hunting, therefore, he looks first
Of ell to his own safety. Having
learned that q tiger rarely looks up
ward, he seeks position at some dis
lance from the ground, as, for instance
the howdah Of an elephant, or ma
chan or leaf-covered box in tree.
The tiger usually keeps its eyes On
the ground because It finds It's prey
there and its enemies also. The nat
ural Inhabitants of the trees, the birds
and the monkeys, it holds in contempt
But on the ground, besides the sweet
deshed man, lives the water buffalo,
its most formidable foe. In combat
the buffalo most times kills the tiger.
The. peculiar sagacity Of the ele-
plant is of great assistance o'the man
who hunts tigers from the howdah.
At the approach Of the big cat the
pachyderm trumpets an alarm, and II
properly trained it will snatch its mas
ter with It's trunk, should he be on the
ground,, and lift him into the howdah
on its back. 1t then seeks the shadow
Of some tree and stands perfectly still,
as II knowing that this way it will
steady the hunters aim.
When one shoots tigers from the
machan or tree ambush he usually
picks q place where the beast is won't
to retreat when alarmed. With a
companion he hides himself in his
nest. In his hand he holds a maya.
zine rifle loaded and cooked. while in
his belt he carries half dozen pistols
for instant use should the gun fail
him. Then he sends out score or
more Of natives as beaters to drive
the beast toward him. Encircling the
region, the beaters begin to rap on the
trees and to shout, and these noises
because of their strangeness, brighten
the animal.
