SHIPS THAT KICK LIKE MULE
Serious Consequences Sometimes En-
sue TO the Man at steer
Ing Wheel.


When sailors join ship almost the
nrst question asked by each one as he
takes the wheel for the first time is:
Does she kick?'
Kicking. as it is called by seamen, Is
due to the action Of the water under
the lee Of the rudder, when the yes
sells stern, which has for the moment
been borne skyward on the crest Of a
wave, falls back again into the trough
with such terrific force as to make her
tremble fore and aft, and perhaps
wrench the wheel from the grasp Of
the steersman
Sometimes it happens that he is
taken unawares, and being unable to
let go in time he is flung right over
the wheel to the other side of the deck.
often receiving serious injuries. Some
times'a man will be pitched right over
board into the sea, and recent case
Is known Of man who received a
blow under the chin from one of the
spokes and died Few days later from
the effects.
In some Of the worst types Of kick
ing straps are used regularly in near
~ all weather, and many sailors re-
fuse to go to sea in ships which are
known to be confirmed kickers.
