PUT UP A GOOD BLUFF.
But the Old Sailor Man was Romano
ing as to His Eating.

In a rather notwithstanding hosiery
not far from the navy yard gate a bow
legged old fellow was busy at the free
lunch counter. Between bites he was re-
calling three or four persons in the place
with his experience a salt water sailor.
The barkeeper was a good-natured sort Of
fellow. and was disposed to let the ancient
mariner satisfy his appetite from the
viands, such as they were, that were in a
promlscuous heap at the end of the counter.
One of the loungers in the saloon asked
the seafarng man If he was not afraid Of
eating too much sausage after all the talk
that was being made about impure meats.
Afraid. nothing" was the response of
the hungry man. See here man. I've
ate everything In the sea or on land that
any other man has. and I'm alive yet
Why" he continued. I've actually lived
days on puppy dogs down in the Barba-
does"
Ever eat a shark" he was asked.
Lots of them" said the old shellback
-These little shovel-nosed fellows; and
they're good broiled for breakfast. l tried
'em down in the tropics, and I've likewise
Toasted on whale blubber In the Bay of
Fundy. And another thing. sonny" he re-
marked, while detailing his gastronomic
exploits, I've many time made sup
per on them big porpuses that you see play
ing in front of the steamboats, in Chesa-
peake bay. They're first rate and .red
up taste just like sausage"
Here. Delay that" shouted the bar
keeper who noticed that the lunch counter
was about being cleaned up. Delay that
Or III come out there and brain you with
marlinspike."
The old man took the hint and went out.
THAT old duffer" said the barkeeper,
never was nearer salt water in his life
than when he was hauling the seine right
here on the POTOMAC river. He gets all
these yarns from the sailor men that come
ashore here frequently and he has told
them SO often that he really believes that
he has eaten shark and whale blubber."
