Just then the lady caught sight of
the trim, well looking youth standing
a little apart from group of blue
Jackets on the forward deck.
Don't wear any shoes? Dear me!
It's a wonder they don't catch their
death of cold.''
'T never heard of that ever happen

most daily during the long cruise, as
soto voiced but perfectly distinct
chorus would come TO his ears:
What a pity, what a pity!
What pity. pity. pity!
What a pity, what pity!
Such nice young man"
The story of the mice young man"
illustrates another characteristic OF
Jacks humor. The fun OF the man who
leads the common life consists very
largely in the gentle art of joshing.
Practically no one escapes; but the men
brunt Of the attack. Let one OF Uncle
Sans enlisted men be over particular
about the arrangement OF his hair or
the condition of his f1ngernails: let him
assume anything approaching an un-
conventional pose. be that pose physi-
cal, moral or intellectual: above all. let
him acquire the reputation of being A
Crouch" a "gouger" or a tight wad"
and his reformation is promptly under
taken. and sometimes secured, by means
OF the gentle art of Joshing.
And let this fact be borne in mind
The gentle art of joshing is not con-
fined to the forward deck. If possible.
II thrives even more among the officers
For instance:
The fleet was rolling along the coast
of Chill and, as every revolution of the
propellers brought the vessel nearer
home. everybody's spirits rose proper
tionately In the navy, when every
bodys spirits rise, everybody takes a
hand In the gentle game of joshfng if
there is ever so small a chance.
A group OF officers on one of the hat
tleships-it wouldn't be quite fair TO
tell which one-were discussing the pet
names bestowed on them by the jaclxies
aboard. Several pseudonyms were re-
vealed to their owners for the first time
and caused a little embarrassment and
great deal OF mirth. Suddenly
youthful ensign who thus far had not
been mentioned among those distin-
guished by honorary titles primly re-
marked:
Il suppose I'm the only officer in the
feet who has no nickname"
There was a moments silence. in
which everybody gasped, and then a
brother officer elected flood of cigar
smoke and glared.
NO nickname?" he repeated, specu-
lativeiy. We'll. like thatl why,

Atlantic coast after the end of it's long
cruise in February of that year.
But as to the sailors individually,
only three expressed their intention of
re-enlisting, and these were men who
had already been in the service for
more than six years. The truth OF the
matter. as I could arrive at 1t through
those to whom l talked, is that our
navy is composed of boys-and they
are young healthy Saxons most Of
thenl-whose main motive in enlisting
is usually some form OF wanderlust-
The majority of enlisted men are be-
meath 25 years of age. We have pr&c-
tically new navy in the course OF
every three years.
These boys come from the farm and
the village and the city. They are just
the boys you used to meet in grammar
and high school--if you were lucky
enough to attend public school any
where in America. They serve their
three years and leave the service
healthier and no doubt wiser men, to
make room for other youngsters who
want to see the world. TITS not much
for a man who wants to be anything
big in the world" they told me, but
for three years It's all right
AS to marrying, no sailor unless it
be chief petty officer. they told me,

Little Stories From the Big Ships

up the coast He laughed uproariouslv
as he talked. and his companions at 10
second intervals put every tooth in
their heads on exhibition. After the
sailors had gone on their way my
friend pursed his lips and wrinkled his
forehead and remarked in the superior
sang froid fashion of Mr.. John Drew:
Goodness knows, 1 can't see what
those fellows were laughing at. What
he told US was ordinary-most ordi-
nary. Such stories wouldn't amuse
even children"
There you are! Ny friend failed abb
solutely to grasp the humor of Jack s
narratives for the simple reason that
he failed to realize the conditions of
Jacks existence. He has made no
study Of the philosophy of the common
Readers of The Christian may re-
member into what a furry Of amuse-
ment the London monastery was
thrown when Brother Paul lost his hat.
1t was mere trifle and not essentially
tunny; yet the brethren regarded the
incident as capital joke Men who
lead the common life are in this re-
spect like children: they make much
out OF little or nothing at all And so
Jack finds a rafting good joke in a
thing that the average Iandsman re-
CARDS as perfectly and fatty common
place and obvious.
To illustrate: Everybody who has
met any OF the officers OF the feet has
assuredly heard of Captain Green. ,,
The big joke of the cruise has been. is
and undoubtedly will be. "Captain
Green" Should conversation lag for q
moment at breakfast Lieutenant A will
ask Lieutenant 3, Has CAPTAIN
Green turned out this morningo'' AS
Captain meets Captain in the
course Of stroll about town he is
almost certain to inquire, Have you
met Captain Green'?" On at least one
memorable occasion during the cruise
down the South American coast the
wardroom Of the Ohio was converted
into an opera house by a chorus OF
voices singing IN 20 different sharps
and flats. Where, oh where, is Cap
tain Green'?"
The genesis OF the Captain Green"
pleasantly is as follows: Some time be-
fore the fleet left Hampton roads an
item appeared in certain newspapers
TO the effect that Captain Green" had
been commissioned to act as pilot dur
ing the passage of the big ships
through the straits of Magellan The
navy men were mystihed, and asked
one another In all seriousness, who
IS Captain Green%" Nobody knew,
and then, by the time the formula OF
the query was something like WHO in
heaven, on earth or under the earth is
Captain Green?'" the humor of the
thing became irresistible. The wags
hung on to Captain Green as tena-
ciousiy as comic weekly humorists
cling to jokes about automobiles and
mothers in law. Even yet, IL you want
to see a feet officer smile, just men,
tion Captain Green.
II is safe to say that. among us safe
sane and conservative landlubbers, q
joke of the Captain Green" species
would die natural death in the course
OF single day. That is because we dc
not lead the common life, because our
environment is not Jacks environment
We don't get as much fun out of any
one thing as Jack does, because we
have so many more things out Of which
we may extract fun if we please
