SAILORS’ DEVICES FOR SMUGGLING

“There is perhaps less drunkenness
among the enlisted men of the United
States navy than among the men for
ward of any of the world’s big sea fit
outs, ” said a naval officer of experience
to the writer. “Drunkenness passed
With the old navy, to the days of the
old Tuscarora or the Tennessee, as the
sailors put it, it was a common enough
thing to see. about three-quarters of sv.
ship’s company retunrlng from shore
liberty to such a state that they had to
be hoisted over the side to bosun’s
chairs to save the trouble of carrying
them up the gangway. But that sort of
thing is no longer endured. Men who
go ashore after having remained aboard
ship for a considerable period are ex
pected by toe officer at the deck to re
turn just a trifle exhilarated, but tiny
never return quite incapable.
“Men who exhibit the slightest todi
chtiontof being addicted to drink me
tutoed down flatly by the examining
surgeons when they present themsrives
for enMatment nowaday* The surgeons
tell ma that they can tell from a man'*
eyes whether he has ever suffered severe
ly from excessive drinking, no matter
how long the man may have abstained
from drink before seeking enlistment
“If men addicted to drink do happen
to get by the exam ining surgeon and re
veal their weakness by going on tears
every time they ge, eehore, the navy
gets rid of them by simply ‘beaching*
them—that is, by putting them cm the
beach with their bags and hammocks
wherever their ship may happen to be
in a home port. A man cannot be
‘beached’ for any cause in a foreign
country.
'“There are, of course, any number of
men to the navy, and rattling fine sail
ormen, too, who have a natural predi
lection for drink, and these men the
officers keep an eye on for their own
good. Sailors are bound to try to smug
gle liquor aboard ship If they drink
considerably on their shore liberties,
they know that when they return
aboard they are to for ‘big heads’ when
they awnken to their hammocks the
next morning, and to trying to safely
bring-a bit of liquor off to the ship they
have to mind the taking of ’a hair of
the dog* to sort of ease them up when
they turn to at ‘all hands’ the next
morning.
“Sometimes they get the liquor safe
ly aboard, but generally they do not.
Every enlisted man on a United States
man-of-war, except the chief master at
arms and the top sergeant of marines, is
searched at the gangway upon his re
turn from shore liberty by the gangway
corporal of the marine guard, under the
inspection of the officer of the deck, for
the purpose of ascertaining if he has
aqy liquor concealed about his clothes.
The men have picked up some ingenious
schemes for smuggling liquor to such a
way that the corporal of the* guard is
fooled. For example, the men on the
China station buy long eelridne from
the coolies, fill the skins with about
a quart ot liquor and wind them around
their necks beneath the collars <rf their
shirts.
“It took the officers on the China sta
tioa s long white to get’tefte this
scheme. Then toe men who felt that
they surely needed a drink toe next
morning after returning from liberty
discovered the plan of filling a rubber
hag with liquor while ashore and of
stowing the bag next to their waist
bands The liquor smugglers, who ob
served that the searching corporal only
passed his hands up and down on the
outside of their clothes, then resorted
to the plan of tying bottles of liquor
with string on the toner side of their
legs, beneath their trousers, but any
searching corporal knows all about this
one nowadays.
“The oox’un of the steam cutter, who
makes donens of trips ashore a day
when the cutter is ‘running boat, * has
to be carefully watched, for he is liable
to be tampered with by the men who
want liquor pretty badly, and his op
portunities for getting liquor aboard
are many. Every once to awhile, upon
the cutter’s return to the ship, it is
searched by toe officer of the deck, and
the latter often finds liquor neatly
stowed among the cutter coal, In the
cutter bilges or even to the bailer tanks.
When this happens, the cox'un of the
cutter is to trouble. He gets a big rake
off from toe men far his liquor smug
gling, which accounts for the chanoes
hi will take.
“The ship’s painter has to be wntatoed
ton. He is a petty officer, and he has
charge of the ship’s alcohol, which is
chiefly used for the malting of shellac
to paint toe lower decka
“Some of the sailors like a doae of
alcohol mixed with coffee for ‘toning’
and sobering up purposes, and as the
ship’s painter is occasionally corruptible
and carries the keys of the alcohol tanks
there is quite a Iff tie drinking of thia
mixture on some of the ships where old
timers predominate. The old flat feet
have indeed been known to drink the
shellac after it has been prepaipd for
the sake of the ateohol in it, and there
is an expression in the navy among the
enlisted men, ‘lf you see a jackie comb
ing his mustache with a marline spike,
you know what he’s been at,* that is
very significant.
"But for all this, as I say, there is
an exoeedtoslv small eeramtaae of
drinking men. iq our navy incomperi-
Uon with similar figures far other big
navies The occasional drinkers in o«r
service, when they return from the
beach a bit under the weather, are
merely put fa toe brig overnight and
permitted to go to work without pun
ishment the next morning.’*—Waah
