ing when many Of the boys swing
themselves out OF their hammocks
unusually early in order to dress"
the ship with holiday greens ere
the sun Is up.
Usually the gibes for the ON
GERS are reserved for the minstrel
show in the evening. but there
have been occasions in the history
Of the navy when the bluejackets
played decidedly practical jokes on
their superiors In connection With
the Christmas dinner. For in
stance. at Shanghai. China. a few
years ago. a delegation Of the en-.
listed men got ashore almost as
soon as the ship dropped anchor In
bort. and having forestaIled the
Wearers OF gold braid they proceed
Cd to corner" the limited market
of turkeys. Thus they had plenti-
full slices OF the light and dark
meat at their spread. while the
vard-room mess had to put up with
. not altogether satisfactory sub
stitute. The high prices paid for
fowl on this occasion constitute
but one of many illustrations that
might be cited to prove how lavish
are the bluejackets in their expen-
aitures when 1t comes to providing
ammunition for the proper observ-
ance OF Christmas.
The mischievous nature OF these
boys grown tall crops out In the
character Of many OF the contests
that take place on Christmas after
noon. There are boxing. wrestling
and fencing contests that are In
deadly earnest. but there are also
such merriment makers as egg
races, potato races, three-legged
races. sack races. etc, and finally
there are ludicrous pie-eating con.
