In all the naval services. tradition is
strong. As Chief Boatswain McCar-
thy. U. s. N. has shown in an article in
THE Proceedings OF the United States
Naval Institute" the adherence to Gus
tom extends to the manner In which
the boatswain's calls are varied for
different occasions, and even, in the
old navy. at least, II extended to the
way In which the officers gave their
orders.
The language used in passing words
was the vernacular Of the sailor rather
than academic English. and the officer
who did not know that usually got poor
results from the boatswain's mate. who
had his own ideas about passing the
word. and got muddled in Interpreting
any. unusual order. n.
On one occasion, the officer of the
morning watch gave this order:
"Boatswain's mate, scrub down with
rapidity." This was a new one, and
after causing the officer to repeat the
order three times, the boatswains
mate become desperate. He grabbed
deck bucket, and forced it into the
hand Of the nearest apprentice. whom
he started on his way with push that
