SAILORS’ DEVICES FOR SMUGGLING LIQUOR ABOARD SHIP. locaiUou* Sehmnea Th»» Ar. lammted Oa ly to Be Sanelehed - What It Meant When Jackie Camb. Bia Maetaehe With, 1 * SpAiMe “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 fagtouStar. . ... _ .... .
