were placed In a tier.
"The ~forecastle was situated aft,

or dining saloon, the crew and the
firemen each having a mess of their
own, with a messman to serve their
food. The table was clean, with good
china and other accessories. At the
time of my visit there were fresh
peaches and tomatoes on the table,
which was being set up for supper"
The luxury of this would have up
set an old-time sailor man, who, when
a heavy wave washed the crews kid
of beef over the lee rail In its passage
from the galley, was forced to go sup
PEERLESS to bed.
An interesting sidelight on the vic
tualing of modern crews is afforded
by the fact that in these times the
same bill of fare is served in forecas-
tie and cabin on American ships. Jack
gets just as much and just as good
food as the officers. The bill is made
out by the food administration at
ships under the flag.

fresh meats abound, even on the long
est voyages.
What Jack Eats When at Sea.
The bill of fare which accompanies
the report quoted show that Jack fares
better at sea than many of the gov
eminent clerks at Washington, who
rely upon boarding houses and res
taurants for their daily bread.
Here is a sample Monday morning
breakfast:
Hominy and milk Hot beef steak
Hot boiled potatoes
Bread and butter Coffee
This is Tuesdays dinner:
Barley Soup Roast Mutton
Lima beams Hot boiled potatoes
Bread and butter
Bread and butter pudding
Thursdays supper is as follows:
Baked pork and beans Corn beef hash
Hot boiled potatoes Cheese
Stewed fruit Bread and butter
Tea
Sundays dinner bill calls for toma-
to soup. stewed chicken and vegetables
and plum pudding. Butter is served
at all three meals, and milk and sugar
with coffee.
The report quoted continues:
''The cooking on this ship vas found
to be first class, the food being well
prepared and palatable. The cooks
were young and intelligent, and took
great pride In their work"
In order that the supply of cooks
for the country's merchant ships shall
not fall below the greatly increased
requirements of the new fleet, the
shipping board is conducting two
schools for cooks and bakers, on spe-
cially fitted ships stationed at Boston
and New York respectively, and Is al
so teaching cooking to apprentices on
its eight other training ships
