In these days it is something of a solace to the sensitiveness of ancent mariners to know that the boatswain's pipe still remains in use (though the beat of the drum to quarters has long since gone), and this despite the sound of the bugle and the introduction of loud Epeakers installed in all living spaces and compartments; and also that the midshipman'a orna- mentaf disk still survives.
Of course, It never blows so hard now as it did in the days when all bands were piped to send down royal and top-gallant yards and strike top-gallant masts, or when upper-yardsmen had to lay-aloft. press out the foot-ropes, hang on to the yards, and gather in the bunt with their teeth. Gone also are the days when a ship forty days in the doldrums and half that time the crew were six upon four for rations, and half a pint of stale water per man per day had to suffice for all purposes.
Our ships come home from a commission, pay off, and are re- commissioned on the same day without noise or advertisement. The old crew march out, store their baggage, and
proceed on Icave; simultaneously the new crew proceed on board equipped with cards, with
mess, part of ship watch, and quarter and oc- tion
station, &c.. all detailed thereon, and, normal work pro- ceeds apace as if no such great change had taken place.: In oldén times, on similar occasion, the old crew would have had to strip the ship of all stores and ammunition, dismantle all yards, down masta and rigging, and take anything from three to six weeks in the process before paying-of took place,
