Marine Notes.

The hall of a ship is only one part of it Regular sailor buoys—those in the harbor. Always called a “she”—the mail steamship. Sea divinities—clergymen among passengers. Not sailors, bat used to hard tack—upholsterers. Shaves, but never swindles passengers— the barber. “Rocked in the cradle of the deep”— Neptune’s children. The hole view of the Atlantic—through the cabin port N o hamper of sandwiches ever#goes with the excursion ticket Apropos of “nocturnes of the sea,” what is the matter with Nep-tune? When taking soundings it sometimes happens that the line is lead astray. Othello was not a sailor, yet he was a Moor, and had to do with the mooiingp. Salt, of course, is necessary to what is called “preservation on the great deep.” When, as the poet says, the waves gambol, can that be called marine dissipation?
