Life in The Navy

franklin d. Roosevelt, assistant
secretary Of the Navy. refers to the
life Of the enlisted men OF the naval
service ~ follows:
"All the world loves . sailor" but
how few know and understand him
The American people have very
little knowledge Of the blusjSckets
who man the United States navy,
their professional zeal and enthu-
sissm, their pride in the service,
their unswervipR devotion to flag
and country.
The vital need of the hour IL to nc
quaint the American public with the
human element Of the navy; not
merely to popularize 1t, for the navy
IS popular in vague, impersonal
manner. but to have our citizens
know more Of what the navy really
means to the men who compose 1t.
At $50 .. m. the buglers sound the
reveille, accompanied by q chorus Of
boatswains' pipes with the added ad-
monition, up all hammocks,"
"shake leg," etc. The cooks are
astir much earlier, for coffee must be
served the crew. Then, after q short
smoke, comes SCRUB and wash
Clothes"
Then all hands clean ship.
After the ship Is cleaned, breakfast
is served-and the bluejacket is usu-
ally ready for for 1t. Potatoes, ham
and eggs, bread, butter and coffee
constitute . sample breakfast menu,
changed each day.
After breakfast comes an hour for
smoking and for relaxation, to don
the uniform of the day and get ready
for inspection at $50.
From that time until the dinner
hour Ql.3O) the time Is spent at drill,
and after dinner more drill. There
are big gun drills, boat drills with
oars and sails), signaling. small arms
practice, collision drill, Hre quarters,
abandon ship. clearing ship for
action, and At night searchlight
drills. These drills are interspersed
with special duty. such as coaling
ship or landing parties. and lectures
by division officers or others on time
ly professional topics.
Rarely are the men engaged upon
the same task two days in succession,
80 the sailors life has little chance
to become monotonous.

prison in which, in 1856, 1873 people
were suffocated in a single night One
hundred and fifty-six British prisoners,
captured by the natives, were cast into
room eighteen feet square, and the
following morning only twenty three Of
them were living.

disappointed, for all there was there
was monument with chain around
it. I felt cheated In America we
would have given the visitor something
for his money. We would have pre-
served the prison, with its two small
windows, and put a showcase in the
corner with samples Of the nails and a
rusty hinge The restored prison
would have been filed with wax fig
