THE DoGWarcH.
NO One Seems to Know For Certain
How II Got That Mama.

The simplest facts, quite unchal
lenged and taken for granted, arc
often the hardest subjects for in.
vestigation. 'Did you ever ask q
sailor or a know-it-all why the dog.
watch is SO called?" queries q
writer in the New York Sun who
has himself made the experiment.
The chances are that the answer
VIII be, "Why, the dogwatch is two
short spells from 4 to 6 and from G
to . o'clock in the evening to
break the regular four hour
watches, so that the same men will
not have t1'stand watch during the
are hougs every day."
Simple and lucid. But why
dog" In hunt after an expla-
1atlon the first question was put
o the officers mess of big battle
hip. Not one, from the executive
officer Of quarter of a century's
,ervice to the ensign with his first
stripe, could answer.
A boats crew from the same
ship failed to throw any light on
the subject, although gunner's
2ate allowed that sit might be
hey once had dogs on ship and
hey was let loose when this watch
las on"
An officer of an Atlantic liner
aid he never had heard so silly a
question.
why, the dogwatch is the dog
Tatch," he explained. "There's no
why or wherefore about il. It's
always been the dogwatch, and it
always will be-"
Having had the matter so airily
disposed of by this officer, inquiry
was pushed to the East river, where
may be found men who have been
going down to the sea in real ships
for many years. The pursuit of
the dog" was useless.
SAY" said a Harlem boatman.
what's the matter with irving
Bob?' If he can't tell
rou the great American navy will
lose caste"
So up to Rear Admiral Evans
vent the query. And from Fort
Monroe came the answer:
Z. s. S. Connecticut. Sept. 2
Dear SIr-I am unable to give you the
Information you asl; aboutithe dogwatch.
~ course We all know why the watch is
made two hours. but no one seems 10
xfsow why the name dog was applied
Yours very truly. II. d. EVANS.
At last a public library was re-
.orted 10. The dictionaries were
merely provoking. Five Thou
and Facts and Fancies" was the
'nly book found that threw light
IN the matter. Its explanation
.eads:
"Dogwatch, corruption of dodge
ratch. The dogwatchos were intro
.uccd to prevent the same men
rom always keeping watch the same |
.ours of the day; hence on these oc. |
asions the sailors are said to dodge |
he routine, or to be doing dodge |
'atch."
1t may be added that Murray |
'reat English dictionary gives
notation introducing the term dog.
1atch--from a book published in
700, but gives no theory of the
rigin Of the term.
