l kept walking around saying this pass

that | couldn't remember it very well and
l told him that just for the secund it had
escapt my mind.
You amt got no mind" he said "This
is fine business-you out here wandering
around and not even knowing the pass.
Call the corporal of the guard"
SO l called the corporal of the guard
and then the Majur give me some more
hells fire before him and then he told the
corporal to instruct me in the pass. Then
the Majur rode away and the corporal
give me some more hells fire and told me
the pass and then he walked away.

picked me tonite because the Captain said
to me, "Bennie we are going to try you

fishing vessels were concerned. The prae-
tiee Law close to the hearts of the simple
people .,and the parish priest, a god
father and godmother, were the primer
pal figures. Not infrequently the god
parents were mere children. No wine was
used. but holy water was sprinkled on the
bow with the giving of benedietion.
1t must be evident that using wine OF
water in secular hands at the naming of a
ship is only parody on custom of long
standing which first was purely religious.
To-day the spilling of wine or water is an
unthinking tribute to tradition and gala
day subscribing to the superstition of
mariners. Even the most modern of us
wOnld not be satisfied in our minds if a
vessel were put overheard without this
symbol of paganism or Christianity.
A bottle of choice old Madeira, broken
at the heel of the bowsprit by Commodore
James Sever, gave the final touch to the
launching of the L. S. S. Constitution in
1891. When the L. s. S. Hartford was
launched at Boston in 1858, she had
three sponsors The two daughters of
distinguished naval officers, Commodore
Downes and Commodore Stringbam, and
