Yet the one system .id in use throughout the whole of the world’® I shipping irrespective of nationality. I Confusing as “three ,he\bi” may , sound to the landsmen, the system Is ; really quite simple. To understand It i one must first realize that aboard ship i time Is divided by ‘watches,” Kot days . and nights. 1 ; A watch is a duty spell.' and lasts . for four hours—except between four 1 anti eight in the afternoon, when there ' are two watches of two hoard nach. 'i Each half-hour of- the watch is the equivalent of a bell. For insiTan.ee, the . midnight watch starts at twelvo. Half- . past twelve Is “one bell,'’ one ^o’clock “two bells,” half-past one "three bells,” and so on till four o'clock ■ the end ’ of the watch—which is “eight bolls.” 5 At four o’clock a new watch starts, so that half-past four is “ouo boll,” and so on, one bell for each half-hour, until the end of the watch, at eight 'o’clock, when the hell is struck eight times. From four to eight in the afternoon- is slightly different. During this period there are two two-hour watches of only four hells each—that is. half-past six is “one bell" instead of five, as would normally he the case. Eight o’clock • sees the end of the- s-.^-ontl two-hour watch, and although ■ it should really he "four hells,” actually eight bells are always struck. The crew of the. ordinary merchant­ man is divided into t wo sections, which are also known as “watches.” They work alternately- one watch on duty, the next “below*”—or, in other , word®, four hours on duty, four hours off. Think a minute, anil you will see : that if every watch wqs a four-hour one, unfairness would arise.
