making its landing. Mr.. Mansfield stands
at the gangway. greeting his congrega-
ton His face IS a little Drowned, and
he stands uncovered in the open.
When he greets the young lad home
from a seven months trip to China and
Japan. he calls him by name and remem-
bers to ask If the little difficulty with
the first mate has been adjusted He
has a cheerful word for the temporarily
widowed who have come to pray for
those in peril on the deep, and smile
of understanding for the young sailors
and their sweetheaTts who come hand
in hand and pass him shyly.
When at length he turns his attention
to the visitors the impression of the
practical. militant preacher is empha-
sized.
Don't treat this subject sentimental
ly, viii you?" he asks. so many people
do THAI, and what good is IL? Does il
help the poor seaman whom they weep
over and forget? Not bit.
He isn't panorama or anything mu-

Hard to Break Away .

''Once started, il is hard 10 break
away Oftentimes a man tries TO break
away, but he finds that his sea life has
untitled him for anything else, and
drifts back again TO become one Of the
morose. depressed class who drink
ashore and grumble aboard.
1T is the sailors temperament that
makes trouble. The long voyage, the
separation from the usual conditions OF
life all tend TO produce certain quail
ties, some OF them amusing. some quite
the reverse.
For instance. ali those az the mission
here realize that there IS not such thing
possible as credulity where a sailor :
yarns are concerned. II we believed one

ceived we would have no time for any

Chocolate Best With Tragedy.

One can even seem 10 make c'it faint
distinctions as to the appropriateness
of CT tain confections for certain classes
OF entertainment. The testimony Of
the peanut boy proves dimly that the
sweet, sad softness Of the chocolate
cream is felt best TO consOrt with trag-
edy; the sale of the cheerful goober is
most brisk during musical comedies,
while the complicated sickness of the
pOpcoTH ball is the best esthetic con-
comita.,t of melodrama.

Obvious and general uncertainty as 10
just what manner of thing 1t may prove
10 he, seems 10 empty the boys basket
OF pretty much everything without spe-
cial choice or distinction.
The moment the footlights go up and
the house lights go down the gallery IS
seized with a sudden thrill which takes
the form of much hasty whispering and
arranging of feet Immediately il quiets
itself with vigorous bushes and settles
down To the business OF the evening.
From the moment the curtain rises the

Many Types Represented.

All the many types which nautical
literature describes are here repre-
sented There are retired sea cap
tains, the rough and tumble sailors who
bluster through the Russell tales and
the odd characters with which the sum-
mer tourists along Cape Cod and Nan
tucket are familiar There are men
who have landed from coast schooners,
short sea trippeTs. and there are sailors
who are. as they say in that part Of
town, on the beach. The American type
is less cons spicuous than the foreigners.
Inside the tiny church all is simple,
severe. serene. and the Christmas trees
stand erect in the ChanCel without
adornment. The altar window depicts
the miracle OF Christ bidding the waves
to be still.
Sunday evening is the right time to
see this congregation in all its glory of
sea legs and sea tOgs. The morning
service is attended principally by
friends, strangers, and nearby resi-
dents. for the seamen are usually sleep
ing off the effects of fTolics of the night
before. an authority SAYS.
After a late Sunday afternoon tea
and social gathering at the mission
house on Pike street, the sailors walk
TO the floating church 10 listen TO the
instruction on religious and civil mat
ters administered by the Rev. a. Z.
Mansfield, who for ten years. a period
covering almost his entire ministry has
devoted himself 10 the sailor folk and
who probably knows more about this
class of people than anyone else in New
York. certainly more than anyone else
of his cloth.
