move their eyes from the gun sights

given. Each gun crew has itsl own
work to perform and one crew cannot
know what another crew is doing and
shoot effectively.
Target practice with heavy guns is
held by every vessel in the navy sew
eral times a year. The target is
usually buoyed about 1900 yards away
from the ship and the firing is done
while the vessel is steaming at the
rate of 10 knots an hour.

which is the sailors grace, all are soon
busily engaged in satisfying the wants
of the inner man. Cereals, meat or
fish stew. fried or boiled eggs, pota-
toes, fruits, bread and butter and cof-
fee are some of the things found in
the breakfast menu.
The chief petty officers eat at a sepa-
rate mess AS rule the chief petties
contribute small sum each month in
order that their table may be. supplied
with certain delicacies not on the
ships food list They have a chef
and steward of their own who attends
to their wants. The commanding Off
Ger of the ship usually dimes in state,
all alone. If he be OF an amiable dis
position he may frequently grace the
table of the senior and junior officers.
On every ship there is well
equipped hospital with a competent
staff of physicians, nurses and phar-
macists. The ships medicine chest con-
tains all the drugs necessary TO COM
bat any form of disease and every
precaution is taken to prevent illness.
Discipline is demanded of the sailor. If
he neglects his duty, becomes quarrel
some, violates a rule, oversteps his lib
: erty, disobeys an order from a superior,
. or is guilty OF any other breach of ship
discipline, he soon learns to regret it.

For any of the above offenses his
shore liberty, which is dear to the
heart of every sailor, may be denied
him. He may be placed in the brig.
which is the ships prison, and eat
bread and water for two meals a day.
If the unruIy jack is looking for
fight, the chief master at arms. or
any of his assistants. and there are
several of them aboard a ship, is very
sure to accommodate him. The chief
master at arms, or the big bu1l'' as
he is known, is supposed to be the
best rough and tumble fighter aboard
the ship, and if any man proves him
self more worthy of the position than
the chief he can put himself in line
for it by whipping the ships police
officers. AS a rule the "Chief BulT'
is able to take care of himself. as he
has, in all probability, fought his way
to that position. The word of the
chief master at arms aboard ship is
law and no one can dispute him.
If he sees any one, it makes no diff
ference whether he be captain or en-
listed man, violating ships ruIes he
has the power and authority to stop
him.
The writer has heard chief master
at arms tell a party of officers, who
were making loud noise in a cabin
after the call for lights OUT had been
given, to stop that noise" His order
in the officers case was instantly
obeyed. 1t is the duty of the chief

American navy, and this is the
reason that our sailor boys are
able to make such perfect scores with
Uncle Sans big guns. No one knows
when the order. Clear ship for action
is to be given. and that is why the
officers and enlisted men of the United
States navy are kept in constant train
ing so as TO be in readiness for that
bugle call which is the most thrilling
given on shipboard. bringing forth the
same manifestations of spirit as does

Life aboard an American man-o' war
is one of expectancy. The same stirring
scenes were enacted on board ship at
Magdalena bay as. on the American war
vessels which went to avengc the Maine
In Havana harbor IN 1898. The order
TO clear ship is one that is frequently
given When it comes officers and men
instantly spring TO quarters.
The divisions are set to work in their
respective portions Of the ship and in
a comparatively short time the outward
appearance of the vessel is greatly
changed If it is d real battle and the
enemy be near then the work is speed
ily carried on. The steel wires and
braces which encircle the upper deck
OF the ship are taken down. The boats
are taken from the boat nests. The
boat davits are removed and every
loose and movable object is cleared
from the outer decks of the ship

Industrious young men. A young man
may learn one of many trades aboard

livelihood when his term of enlistment
is over The United States pays its
sailors much better than does any other
navy. The Ainericap sailor gets bet
ter food, better clothing and better
treatment than do those in other ma
vies. The United States knows how
TO make its sailors happy. Uncle Sam
keeps his sailor boys in good spirits
by serving plenty of good, wholesome

fresh meat, fish, vegetables, strong
coffee and an abundance of bread and
butter served each day. and, in aa
dition to the above, the ships lar
der often contains a bountiful supply
of fruits, puddings and pies.
The proverbial turkey dinner is also
served many times during the year.
Not only is there an abundance of food
but 1T is of an excellent quality. 1t is
the duty of the chief surgeon and chief
steward to inspect the food furnished
the ship by the commissary, and unless
1T is of the required standard it is not
allowed on the mess table.
The newly enlisted man, provided he
has not had previous experience in sea-
faring life, is sent to a training ship
where he receives a thorough course of
instruction in the duties of sailor
On shipboard the men turn to at two
bells, which is o'clock. Half an hour
is spent in rolling their hammock and
blankets and in dressing. This is
when the days work begins for those
who are not on watch. The pipes of
the coxswain and boatswain, together
with the roar of the .'jimrnylegs," are
heard. With pants rolled up to their
knees and in bare feet the sailors seize
brooms, mops, sand stones and buckets
For nearly two hours the time is spent
in cleaning the ship. No scrubwoman
no matter how thorouglls in her work
ever leaves a cleaner task behind her
than does the sailor. After every piece
of brass is brightly polished and every
gun is thoroughly cleaned the ship is
dressed for the day Rain or shine
storm or calm, the lighting ship re-
ceives its daily wash.

forms in order to be ready for assem-

about 1880. Following inspection the
