decks at seven bells.
1t was not a very martial command
to give, but as the time approached,
the officer of the deck waxed nervous.
He imagined that the eyes of all hands
were on him, and that the safety Of
the ship depended upon his giving the
order in the proper voice. At three
minutes to seven bells he again
scanned the order book. It read /:
"Seven bells; Pipe sweepers."
1t was plain enough, and the young
officer took his stand near the main
mast, and called out in a very weak
voice: "Bo's'n's matew
The man addressed sprang to his
feet with finger touching cap. "Aye,

From ancient times the eagle, as
the king of birds, has been looked
upon as the symbol of power. The
American eagle is the native bald
eagle and was first adopted on the seal
of the United States on June 20. 1872,
against the bitter opposition of Frank
lin. This patriot looked up to 1t as a
Caesarian emblem and wanted TO
know what was the matter with the
wild turkey, as being more distinctly
American. Nevertheless the eagle was
accepted, not only on the seal, but On
the first coin issued by the United
States in 1895, and on a majority o.
the coins since.
