distinctly American sailing ship has
denced by the fact that only so per
cent of the marines studying naViga-
ton at the Marine Corps institute here
could tell the names Of the seven masts,
at an examination held here recently.
The marines keep themselves keoply
alive to things nautical, as well As
military and that only half of their
class could name the seven masts is
due entirely to the fact that there are
now no seven maste4 schooners flying
the American flag,
Fore, main, mizzen, pusher. driver,
jigger and spanker are the names in
order, running fore and aft, of a seven
masted ship. Some authorities give
them the names of forccastle, fore,
main, miZzen, jigger. spanker or driver
and aftermasts, Others compromise by
naming them from bow to stern after
the days OF the week beginning with
Sunday.

It was estimated that since 1901 the number of birds on the islands had been reduced from 10000 to about 1000 by the depredations of the sponge fishermen who killed them for food.
