ORIGIN OF "TELL TT
TO THE MARINES

Postmaster 1'wlnlng has received an
interesting narrative regarding the or
lgin of the phrase, 'Tell it to the Mar
ines" from Captain G. G. Gill of the
Marine Corps Recruiting Station,
Room 433, Federal Building. Seattle.
Captain Gill states that according to
Peppy's diary. during the reign OF
Charles ii of England, certain sea
captain, newly returned from the west
ern ocean, told the king about flying
fish, thing never heard of in old
England. The king and his court were
vastly amused. But the naval follow,
persisting, the monarch beckoned
10 q lean dry colonel of the yea .regi-
mont, and said: "Coloncl, this tnrry-
breeks here makes sport of us stay-at-
homes. He tells us of miraculous fish
that forsakes its elements and flies like
a bird over the WATER "Sire,'' re-
piled the Colonel OF Marines, ''he
tells true thing. myself have often
seen those fish in your majesty's seas
around Barbados" "Well," decided
Charles, "such evidence cannot be
disputed. Hereafter, when we hear Of
strange thing, we will tell it to the
Marines, for the Marines 60 every
where and see everything. and if they
say it is so, we will believe it.'' so
we see that royal quip has royal
origin-and it stuck.

IF road bosses are officers authorized
to administer oaths, we have never
