What Is a Midshinman7

By luck l for the first time in my life have fund a plausible derivation for midshiphan. It would appear that in the days Immediately after the flood the vessels were very high at the ends, between which there was deep waist" giving no ready means of passing from one to the other. To meet this ditIiculty there were employ ed class of men. usually young and alert, who from their station were called midship men, to carry messages which were not subject for the trum- pet shout. If this explanation holds water, it, like forecastle and after. guard and knightheads, gives another instance of survival of nomenclature from conditions which have long sine, ceased.
 Whatever the origin of his title, it well expressed the anomalous and un- defined position of the midshipman. He belonged, so to say, to both ends of the ship as well as to the middle, and his duties and privileges alike fell within the broad saying that what was nobody's business was midshipman's When appointed as such in later days he came in with the hayseed in his ants charge. but from first to last, whatever his personal progress, he continued as a midshipman, a handy billy.-Captam A.
