Annapolis harbor. On these boats thew do
all the work of the enlisted men. There is
nothing too hard or too dirty in a hand and
clothes soiling way for the "middies" in the
line of sailor labor. They do it all uncom-
plainingly. Discipline serves, if willingness does
not, to keep the lads in the line of duty. There
are few niceties in the initial life of the sailor.
There is something of regularity about the
life of the student at the naval academy. If
there should be any doubt on this point a
glance at the daily routine of the fourth class
men, the "plebes" of the school, will bring
conviction.
Here is the daily round of work as set down
in the books:
600 a. m.-Reveille, except on Sundays
and holidays.
$50 a. m.-Breakfast formation. Breakfast,
sweeping and arranging of rooms and making
of their beds by the midshipmen themselves.
8. a. Information for first period drill
seamanship or ordnance.
1915 a. in either ordnance OF
seamanship.
1890 p. m.-Dinner formation.
300 D. m.-Seamanship drills in either cut
tiers or launches.
500 D. m.-Swimming. Recreation period.
$50 p. m.-Supper formation.
500 to 900 p. m.-Drills in either gymna-
SUM or armory
$3.50 p. n..-Gun fire.
$50 D. m.-Warning call for beds.

The hard work of the officer sailors contin-
ues after the academic days are over. There
are duties on the modern man-of-War OF wn1cn
the old wooden-ship sailor knew nothing. IN
the earlier days, when there was nothing to DO
on board. the tackles were set to work polish
ing the brasses which already shone resplen-
dent with much polishing. The captain be
lieyed thoroughly that the devil always was
about with tempting tasks for the idle hands to
do, and as he wished to be in supreme com
mand of his ship he never gave. the devil a.
moment to ply his trade. They polish the
brasses on the modern men-of-war, but not
oftener than they need polishing. There Is
no waste time for officers or crew.

The first cadet West Points walls held
was not allowed to take meals away from
the mess hall, and the last cadet the academy
will hold in the time to be, must dine where
his forerunner dined a century ago and be
content with the place and the fare.
The West Point cadets have a little the
best of the Annapolis midshipmen in some
ways. The filtration walk at the military
school runs through a cool and very much
sequestered way along the wooded bluff OF the
river. The filtration walk of the naval school
is called Lovers Lane. and it runs broad and
open under the high-branched trees. The sail.

the magician's lost art of invisibility. There
are 40 self-constituted chaperons for every
pair of lovers, and then there is the sentinel,
who may desire blindness from sheer love of
a lover, but whose orders keep his eyes open
and at an admirals orders not even Love
may laugh.
There are shower baths in the room of the
midshipmen in the Bancroft hall barracks.
Years ago bathing was considered a luxury
six days in the week and a necessity only
on Saturday night. The fact that they can
and do battle daily has not enervated the
midshipmen. Their quarters are severely
plain, but they have running water and the
boys are not bucket carriers four times a
day, as are their comrades of the military
service in the Hudson highlands.
The Annapolis students seem to be a happy
lot, even though they work harder than the
boys at Harvard or Yale. If the students of
the civilian schools were confronted with
tasks such as the sailors look on daily there.
would be no students to sit on the Yale fence
or to gather in the Harvard yard. The college
man pays for his course, and rightly expects
something like an OCCASIONAL rest; the Annapo-
lis man is paid to study and to work. and he
earns his wage.
All this work of body and mind agrees with
the "middies" apparently, for they are as

to furl, reef and LAY out" with the best of
the old-timers, who saw service before the
masts of "Old Ironsides."
Goodness in danger and resourcefulness at
all times are the gifts of the sea service of
the ancient days. That is why it is that the
Annapolis midShipmen are taught the ropes
as were the generations of sailors who never
saw a smOkeStack on the sea save the one
that led from the galley. 1t is true that the
training in sail handling is not as long con-
tinued as in the other days, but it is thorough,

self in command of a fullrigged ship would
not be dubbed a landlubber by the sailors be-
fore port was sighted.
There is a new training vessel at the acade-
my, and the shade of any ancient mariner who
happens aboard will find nothing missing to
which he was called to lay his hands in the
old day. The ship is the Severn and she is
a beauty under sail or at anchor. On the
deck of it one learns as quickly as a glance
can travel the spar deck the magnitude Of
the midshipman's task of learning the ropes"
:.he strands of the sea gain a new meaning
and a new significance. The rope dictionary
is as long as a cable.
Some one has said the old soldiers all have
gone to Davy Jones. Davy has some big old
time salts still only in prospect of posses
sion. There are sailors on the Severn with
service stripes enough to Over-decorate a IT,
ger. One of them looks as if he might have
served under. Decatur against the pirates OF
the Mediterranean. He rolls in his gait and
shows tattoo marks, and the visitor likes him;
he swears a South sea oath, and the visitor
loves him.
These fine old salts take the midshipmates
under their tuition and tradition and seaman
ship are safe. A ships crew of boys march
from the barracks to the Severn in the early
afternoon and take up the study of knots
rope knots and not the measure of distance
kind-and in three minutes there are 80 du-
plications of the familiar painting, "a Knotty
Problem" The boys go aloft and do those
things of which only the seaman knows the
names, and if he impaired them the layman's
knowledge would be as it was before-the
land lubber's ignorance. The midshipmen do
steeple-jack tricks that seem dizzy-headed i'm
possibilities, and do them with an apparent
noise of nerve that is a fit comrade to the
poise of body. .
Heaving the lead and boxing the compass
are kindergarten lessons of the service. The
BOYS are taught oarmanship in cutters of the

has thus described the first steps of the in

goes, it frequently happens that they have it
out somewhere in the seclusion of an iron
walled corner of a lower deck. This applies
to enlisted men and not thu "middies," though
possibly such things occur in the student
ranks.
AS a rule the sailors are allowed to fight
it out unchecked. 1t is the only plan worth
considering, for two men who have fought anc

after. Moreover, with the fight over, things
are better for the others of the crew, who
suffer from the friction of the i'll feeling and
are glad to have the affair settled and the
bitterness thrown overheard. A visitor was
the accidental witness of such a fight on a
man-of-war which he boarded in Hampton
Roads. The most striking feature Of the thing
was the celebrity with which the petty officers
disappeared when the row began.
The Frigate Santee, one of the strong ones"
of the elder naval day, is moored close to a
wharf in the naval academy grounds. The
Santee is rooted over and made comfortable
for living quarters. The vessel, however, is
isolated, and when one gets into the bowels of
the hold he is cut off from the world as COM
pletely as if he were in a mine. Light he
does get and this is much when the matter
of confinement is considered. When a mid
shipman does something to break the regula-
tons which the ordinary punishments will not
meet effectually he is locked up on board
the Santee. where he is given a chance to
think over the sin of disobedience and to re-
cite a penitential psalm or two If he is re-
ligiously inclined.
The Santee is not altogether a pleasant
berth. It is the dearth of companionship that
hurts, and a term on the ship generally works
a rapid change of mind and heart in the CON
fined one.
Elihu s. Riley recently told the story OF
Midshipman Coombs, who was locked up IN
the hold Of the Santee for a breach OF academy
discipline. It was a terribly cold night In
winter and two skaters were carried away on
an ice foe into the waters beyond the prison
ship. Coombs heard the cries for help, and,
dressed only in his underwear, he crawled
through q portfolio and started over the break
ing ice to the rescue. He was Joined by other
and much better clad rescuers from the shore,
but he kept on and was the first at the scene
Of danger. Coombs pulled an oar in the boat
that put out from the edge or the ice to bring
back the imperiled ones. tn next dsy the
superintendent Of the academy told CooMt&
he was 1. brave lad and sent him bsak 10 hi
