In answering this question Father

The first reason is theoretical, SO 10

W 81 thank Cod that he made
three times as much water as land.
EVERY old seadog will join me in
this. The sea is his home; he loves it
as the farmer loves his broad acres
Apart from it he is restless and dissat-
isfied, but with a voyage ahead of him
he is as happy as clam at high tide.
No true sailor would exchange Christ
mas at sea for one on shore. 1t would
be like Thanksgiving dinner without
the turkey.
"Of all the Christmases spent at sea
the one that rises before me most
yividly is that of 1865, when the fed
eral army and the gunboat fleet were
trying to capture Fort Fisher. The
only presents we received. and they
came fast and furious, were solid shot
and shell from the guns of the enemy.
But this didn't destroy our sense of
humor. The boys would write on
each solid shot or shell before placing
it in the gun, presented by and add
the name of the vessel from which it
happened to be fired. Mighty few
hurled at the fort that day lacked this
Christmas greeting. III the gunners
caught the spirit of the grim jest, for
the fighting line is no place for seri-
Gus faces.
Despite the excitement of the
fierce combat we managed to have the
mastheads of all the ships trimmed
with Christmas green, even though
the sailors had to risk their lives in
going ashore to get them, and you
may be assured the sentiment of the
day was not wasted.
Last year Santa Claus followed our
feet of 16 vessels. He anticipated our
I2,OOO-mile voyage and furnished us in

sailed from Hampton roads were thou

imaginable Christmas gift, from
whisky flask to a smoking Jacket, each
package labeled. Don't open until
Christmas
"Along with those gifts he sent
thousands of yards of bunting to dec
crate the mastheads of the battleships.
