WHERE, OH WHERE,
ARE THE WHISPERS
THAT BRAVED SEA?

There was a time in the old days
OF shipping when every sailorman
sought to cultivate whiskers, and
captains took great pride in wear
ing a beard. Nowadays, however.
whiskers seem to be on the decline
In a recent tonsorial survey made
of the commanders of the vessels
composing the fleet of the United
States lines, it was discovered that
not a set of whiskers existed. Fur
thermore. it was discovered that
only two of the captains sported
mustaches
Capt. Paul H.. Kreibohm. the
doughty commander of the S S.
President Arthur. fiaunts a mustache
of Gnodly growth. Capt. kreibohm
says he has worn this mustache
since he was knee-high to a grass
hopper. and that he considers it as
necessary part of his face as his
nose, and will continue to wear IL.
The other aspirant for mustachio
r"nown is Capt. NJ. l.. Pittman. of
the S. S. President Monroe. Capt.
Pittman recently began to cultivate
n little blonde mustache, which is
about as heavy as a japanese girls
left eyebrow. The jokes which have
Dten Hldue OF tne plttman muStache
have somewhat dampened the ardor
of the sailorman. and his friends
predict that he will be barefaced
shortly.
Capt. Harold A. Cunningham, Com
modOre of the fleet and commander
of the big George Washington, has
never attempted any hirsute adorn-
inSs. Capt. William Rind. of the S.
5. America, confesses that in his
younger days he spOrted side-burns.
Capt. Jonas Pendlebury, of the s. s.
President Adams. once attempted a
mustache. but it grew like a hedge
fence. and when his friends began
to send him mustache cups on ami
versaries he decided to razor il off.
Capt. John SchofiSld. of the s s.
President Polk. attempted a mus
tache when he first became a ships
officer, but after attaining to the
dignity of. commander he decided
that a bare face was better. Cant.
