for the homage due ships mascot.
The number of pets mascots aboard ship
depends somewhat on the good nature of the
captain, for the commander Of the warship has
the say as to whether not any prospective
pet be allowed to find a home aboard the craft.
Indeed, the naval regulations-that bulky blue
bound volume which lays down the law for every
thing in the navy-dgnifies this subject of pets
by devoting paragraph to it. In this reference
to pets in the naval book of etiquette it is set
dnw1 that the officer Of the deck (who CORE
spends to the officer of the day at military
camp must not allow any pets to be brought
aboard unless the permission Of those in author
ity on the vessel be obtained
However, it Is only exceptionally grouchy
commander who ever makes any objection to the
presence on board Of any reasonable number of
pets. Indeed, many an officer with. natural
fondness for pets, has come to have genuine af-
fection for fourfooted friends aboard ship More
over, the presence of pets helps to keep the sea-
men contented. And finally it is just as well
for an ofticer-considering the well-knoWn super
stitions Of tars-to recognize that ancient tradi-
ton of the sea which declares that the presence
of certain animals aboard a ship will bring it
luck.
Almost any pet having found domice on
board floating fortress, speedily advances to the
dignity of mascot" no matter whether the
aforementioned pet belongs to one Individual in
the ships company, is the property Of the
crew at large. And in this connection it should
be mentioned that there are several different
ways in which pet or mascot may find berth
