| festive American manner. but. 40 I
say. we got to like It after . while.
Then, too. they do not do any hazing
In the French navy. and this surprised
US. We had expected to 50 through
the mill Just as we did when we Joined
the American service, but nobody slung
a hand at US. On the contrary. every
garby aboard was kind and decent and
extremely courteous. and the fact that
We were from the States counted q lot
with them. They used to brag about
It to the crews Of other ships that were
not 80 honored.
But this kindness we might have ex-
pected. It is Just like Frenchmen In
any walk Of life. With hardly an ex-
ception. I have never met n Of this
nationality who Has not anxious to
help you In 50 way he could; ex-
tremely generous, though not reckless
with small change, aud almost always
CHEEKY and there with a smile In any
weather. A fellow asked me once why
It was that almost the whole world
loves the French. and I told him it was
because the French love almost the
whole world, and show 1t. And I think
that Is the reason, too.
About the only way you al describe
the Poilus, on land or sea. Is that they
are gentle. That is. you always think
that word when you see one and talk
to him-unless you happen to see him
within bayonet distance Of Fritz.
The French sailors sleep between
/! decks in hunks. instead Of hammocks,
and as l had not slept in q bunk since
my S%outherndown days, It was pretty
hard on me. So I got hold Of some
heaving line, which Is one-quarter-inch
rope, and rugged up a hammock. In
my spare time l taught the others how
to make them. and pretty soon every
body was doing 1t.
When~I taught the sailors to make
hammocks. ! figured, Of course. that
they would use them as we did-that
Is. sleep in them. They were greatly
pleased at first, but after they had
tried the stunt Of getting in and stay
Ing In, It was another story. A ham
mock Is like some other things-it
works while you sleep-and II you are
not on to It. you spend most of you,
sleeping time hitting the floor. Oul

trick hammock on him, but I did moi
need to; every hammock Is a trlcA
