For it is not the real es life-according to old seamen-on modern steamers.
Seamen who mained the hand- some square-riggers, and especial- ly the fast clippers, though at times "good grousers," were generally very proud of their ships. Appren- tices belonged to what was called the "after guard" and on a four- master were supposed to 'remain abart the mizzen mast, except when duty took them for'ard..
