Jamesburg, Oct. 19:~James Dairy,
the w~ell-known railroad engineman,
fell from the turntable at Long
Branch and struck his left arm and
thereby probably saved his life. AS
1t is, he now lies helpless at his
home In bed with q badly Rprained
back and ligaments of the arm that
he put out for protection In falling.
The distance MIR. Dairy fell was but
six feet, no more than his own
height, and the place he landed In
the pit made 1t almost impossible for
him to save himself. The injured
man was brought to his home here
where all that medical skill can do
is being done for him.

Navy Nictuallinu.

As Mr. HeXley was active in the agi-
tation which brought about the reform
in the British navy victualling system
that went into effect in October, 1907,
and has given much time to the study
of navy victualling in general, it may
be interesting to note that his criti-
cism of the American system is to the
effect that its application depends too
much upon the individual who happens
to be in charge of that department on
each ship, with the consequence that
if he is an enthusiast for good living
the preparation of food sometimes
takes on an importance that might be
suitable on an Atlantic liner, but is
out of place on a battleship. In fact,
Mr.. YeXley's frank astonishment at
some things that he considers luXur-
les would almost lead one to believe
that he had something in common
with a countryman of his that Charley
Lynn used to tell about. Many old
timers in Honolulu still remember
Charley for he had "a heart as big
as all outdoors" and was a fine type
of the American bluejacket of thirty
five or forty years ago. When Charley
was youngster, serving on an Amer
lean warship visiting Portsmouth, Eng
land he and chum were ashore on
liberty. and in the early morning wan
dered into a dilapidated looking res
/ taurant for breakfast After the meal
was served the boys noticed that
! there was no butter on the table. A
request to the solitary slipshod waiter
for the needed article was met by a
half-aggressive stare of blank aston
| ishment, and Charley went into con-
vulsions when the waiter shuffled half
way toward the counter AMI, jerking \
/ gTimy thumb in the direction of the
table, called in an awe-struck stage
whisper to the proprietor: AIRY!
! AIRY! 'eres a blowke ere as wot
wawnts Bah-ter!!!"

BRITISH NAVAL DISCIPLINE

Nike the Hermione's captain set an
absurdly short time limit on the evo-
luton, and all men found on the lower
deck after the expiration of this time
limit were punished. When the men
had become so proficient that the evo-
luton was completed inside the time
limit the commander then made it a
rule to punish the last six men to
leave the deck" Here was an exact
repetition of the Hermione's last man
off the yard" The men, seeing that
no matter how hard they tried they
could not escape punishment. became
more discontinued than ever. There
was an outbreak of serious crime. Gun
sights and other fittings were missing
and life on board has since been de-
scribed as "a perfect hell" The news

there is no disaffectiOn on board. The

of all l survey" and 10 interpret his

naval discipline" We shall be con-
tributing to our own obseQuies if we
think that the glorious traditions of
the past will help us. The average
naval officer who troubles about the
matter at all if asked his opinion will
reply: What can l do? I know the
whole thing is wrong and absurd, but
my job is to take things as find
them, and he will quote regulations.
Happily, in the majority of ships,
naval officers read the regulations with
modern eyes and in a modern spirit;
even then they gall the modern sea-
man"
Il shall be told that 70 per cent Of
naval captains are just and humane
men. They are! And being able 70
maintain discipline without the exer-
else of these powers is the chief argu-
ment why they might be safely taken
out of the hands of the other 30 per
cent, who in many cases are absolute
ly untitled to WELD them. The real
crime in the navy today is so small
and the character of the men so uni,
formly high that the difference in the
punishment returns of the various
ships is the most eloquent testimony
of the necessity for reform that can
be offered.
The Lust to Punish.
A significant parallel is drawn be-
tween an ancient mutiny and mod
ern instance of the lust to punish.
Students of naval history are familiar
with the story of the mutiny of the
Hermione in l797-her captain (who
may have been insanel was forever on
the lookout for any pretext to order "A
man logged, and in order that he
might have men at his mercy. nightly
he issued an order that only two min
utes would be allowed to reef topsails
The men, spurred by fear of the lash,
became so proficient that it seemed
likely that the well-nigh impossible
task might be finished inside this time
limit. The captain, seeing this and
fearing that he might be thus robbed
of chance to order foggins, shout
ed to the men at work on the mizzen
topsail yard that he would fog the last
man to leave it. The two yard arm
men presumably the smartest of the
party leaped for the rigging, fell TO
the quarter deck and were killed. The
next day the captain again ordered a
man tiogged, whereupon the crew NUT
inied and murdered the captain and
other officers and then took the shin
into Spanish port an. surrendered
her to the authorities. She was after
ward recaptured by the British, as
Were most Of her crew, who were
hanged at the yardarm as mutineers
The story of the modern parallel rc
this tragedy of brutality is TO the eff
feet hat very recently the commander
OF certain ship claimed that the evo
