ORDER HAD HIM “IN THE AIR”Boatswain's Mata Considerably Mud-

dled by Command That WaaEntirely New to Him.

In all the naval services.tradition isstrong. As Chief Boatswain McCar-thy. U. 8. N., has shown in an article in“The Proceedings of the United StatesNaval Institute.” the adherence to cus-tom extends to the manner in whichthe boatswain’s calls are varied fordifferent occasions, and even, in theold navy, at least, it extended to theway In which the officers gave theirorders.

The language used in passing wordswas the vernacular of the sailor ratherthan academic English, and theofficerwho did not know that usually got poorresults from the boatswain's mate, whohad his own ideas about passing theword, and got muddled in interpretingany. unusual order.

On one occasion, the officer of themorning watch gave this order:“Boatswain's mate, scrub down withrapidity.” -This was a new one, andafter causing the officer to repeat theorder three tlroesL the boatswain’smate become desperate. He grabbeda deck bucket, and forced it Into the.hand of the nearest apprentice, whomhe started on bis way with a push thatsent the youngster reeling, and fol-lowed him with this shout:

"Go to the captain of the hold and’ask him for a bucketful of it! I neverheard of anything to scrub a deck withbut sand and lime, and I don’t knowanything about these new ‘soogy-noodgies,' anyway.”—Youth's Com-panion.

“Old and Distinguished/'"Gerald,” said the young wife, no-

ticing how heartily he was eating, "dcI cook as well as your mother did?”

“Once and for all, Agatha,” he said“I beg you to remember that although1 may seem to be in reduced circunistances now. I come of an old and dis-tinguished family. My mother wasnot a cook.”
