An Irishman employed at the big I shipbuliding yard found that most of the disagreeable jobs were left to him, and he was always being told to lift all the heavier weights. On the eve of a launch, when the huge vessel was standing ready on the stocks for the morrow's great event, the Irishman went to the foreman and demanded his pay,
