GROG GLOSSARY

The Navy is to take less water with its rum.--Ad- miralty announcement.

HOW GROG BEGAN.—Naval run ralions were called Grog after one Admiral Vernon, who wore a grogram (coarse fabric of silk and wool) clook, und was thus nicknamed "Old Grog."

He it was who in 1740 arder- ed the rum to be diluted before being served to

DAILY RATION The dally allowance of Grog has been th of a pint of spirit mixed with. three parts of water-Three Water Grog." This is now to be changed to Two-Water Grog."

It is issued every day on deck† "In the presence of such officer as the captain may appoint."

GROG-MONEY-An allow- ance in cash for those who pre- fer it to rum, is credited quar- terly. And in recent усога more than half the ratings have chosen to have the money!

GROGGY-Admiral Vernon's nickname has given rise to the well-known present-day term, "Grogity," and also to "Grog- ged," "Groggery" (a grog-shop); "Groggined," and "Grogginess.

SPLICING

MAIN- THE BRACE TO "Spilee the Main- brare" is to double the rum ration. In the days of sail the man who could do the difficult Job of joining together the ends of a mainyard rope after It had parted was rewarded with a tot
