OUR SHIP-BOARD COMPANIONS..

FELLOW PASSENGERS ON AN OCEAN LINER

|BY C. FOX SMITH IN THE ** DAILY. CHRONICLE."]

There are, perhaps, no conditions more favourable for observing the foibles and peculiarites of one's fellow humans thah those afforded by an ocean voyage; and that for reasons which are, on a brief consideration. obvious roough.

Where

able tolae, for example, would you be

At home these people may live in large houses or small, keep a dozen domestics or none, dine off china or earthenware, live in leisured ease or at daily grip with poverty. But once afloat, every tub must stand upon its own bottom, and the Yeriest charlatan. the utterest social bluffer may shine superior to the genuine article who doesn't know or care how to put his rares into his shop window.

THE POPULAR PARSON,

Take the parsons, for instance.

A few years ago the captain of a popu lar Atlantic liner invited a reverend gentleman to take the Sunday service in the saloon.. That clergyman Wa tremendous Bilccess. The

passengers

raved about him. His charm, his refine ment, bis exquisite elocution. And they never knew, most of them, that the re- verend gentleman was a wolf in sheep's clothing...

But the parser read the service in that ship ever after, though there might be a regular May meeting of clerics on board, and very well he read it, too, as I re- member hearing him in dense, foggy weather somewhere near Cape Race, with the melancholy note of the ship's syren punctuating his neat periods.

The great note of a shipboard gather- ing is freedom. Everyboly feels free in some way or other-whether, like the gentleman in Sir Harry Lander's song,

ye're awn' back fra anybody ya Fany money to. or grass widows and

widowers pasing as the real thing.

SHIP-BOARD ROMANCES.

OWC

The nobodies cas pretend to be some bodies without fear of being found out: the semebodies shed the Burden of their greatness.

The failures can enjoy a make-believe success: the married and engaged people pass for single ones, with disastrous results sometimes to hearts male and female. :

.

Sometimes. it is true, there are such things as real romances on board ship; but as a matter of cold truth they are few and far between, and as a general thing flirtations afost are fortunately not over serious to the parties con- cerned, however entertaining to the lookers-on at the game.

Of course, there are a few outstanding types peculiar to the circumstances. There is the very nautical person, for example, who wears an old siltish ex- pression for the benefit of his fellow passengers, uses technical terms (usually wrong), criticises the navigation of the ship, and sometimes,

nes, bo it added. afforda a good deal of malicious pleasure by slowly turning pale-green at meals. This type generally affects a yachting contame and a crablike gait which it imagines to be a nautical roll,

entourage of vacuous avains about her. There is the Jolly Girl who strikes up half-a-dozen jolly friendships with as many jolly young men, who are probably secretly thinking her a horrible bore, and yearning for the smoke-room. There is the Life and Saul of the Party, who gets ap aporte and concerts, and when he cannot do that collects little bunches of the unwary and makes them play abutle board.

There is the Physical Jerks maniac, who tries to make everyone keep fit by per- forming froglike antics on the upper deck on the wrong side of their break- fast. There is the husband-hunter.. There is the person with a grouch
