LINCOLN TRIED IT.
And That Ended the Naval Sweatbox
Punishment.


Punishment.
On one OF Mr.. Lincoln's excursions
TO Fortress Monroe on the steamer
Hartford In 1868 his attention was di-
rected TO narrow door bound with
iron. the use of which he was anxious
10 learn.
What Is thisT' he asked.
"Oh. that is the sweatbox." was the
reply. 1T is used for refractory and
insubordinate seamen. man In there
is subjected TO steam heat and has very
little ventilation. II generaiiy brings
him to terms very quickly"
President Lincoln's curiosity was
aroused. This" he said to himself,
rs treatment to which thousands OF
American seamen are probably sub
jected every year. Let me try it for
myself and see what II really is"
Taking Off his hat. for he was sever
al inches over six feet In height. he en-
tered the Enclosure. which he found to
be little more than three feet I'm length
or width. He gave orders that at a
/ signal from himself the door should
be Immediately opened. 1t was then
closed and the steam turned on
! He had been inside hardly three min
utes before the signal was given. Pres
idcnt Lincoln had experienced enough
OF what was then regarded as neces-
| sary punishment for American seamen
| There was very little ventilation. and
the short exposure TO the hot and hu-
mid air had almost suCfocated him
| Turning to Secretary WPlles OF the
navy department. the president ordered
that no such Enclosure as the swcatboX
should ever after be allowed on any
vessel flying the American flag.
1t was not an hour after this order
had been given before every sailor on
every ship in Hampton Roads had
heard OF IL. The effect was most re-
markabIe on the older sailors. many
of whom had themselves experienced
the punishment OF the sweatboX. Some
of them wept from joy.
But the good results of this act Of
President Lincoln were not confined TO
the American navy. Great Britain,
France. Germany and other European
! countries heard that the sweatboX had
been abolished in America as inhuman.
One and all of these nations in turn fell
into line, and today the sweatboX is
not to be found on any vessel flying
the flag IA civilized nation through
out the world.
