Exeter Times, 1903-7-23, Page 65,, .Y AXI AL STOWAWAYS BEES AND SNAKES ALSO TRAVEL DEAD HEAD,, Lively Time With a Hyena on Board Ship --Rats Are Great Sailors. The Donald Currie liner "Tinta.gel Castle" left Cape Town on May 8th, 10O1, The strip had covered over one thousand miles, when suddenly from beneath the forward ventilator rose a dense swarm of bees. They settled ore the ventilator, and cover- ed it. The sailors constructed a rough hive, and there the insects re- mained happily enough for seven clays. On May 25th the ship drew near the Cape Verde Islands, passing them at a distance of about nine miles. Early that morning the bees left the ship presumably for the is- lands, though how they knew the land was, near is a mystery. This is probably the only instance on record of insects voluntarily taking passage by a steamship to new lands. But other and less desirable stow- aways are common enough. Mr. Bartlett, of the London Zoological Gardens, had a call one day from a sailor who wanted to know if he was open to buy "a sarpint." Mr. Bart- lett said "Yes." "There's a beauty for you," said the man, opening a little rice seek he carried in his hand. An Indian cobra, with hood expanded, and deadly fangs ready to strike, lay in the bottom of the frail bag. In this case the creature had probably been brought aboard in timber or in a package of fruit. Vipers, deadly spiders, and other undesirable immi- grants are constantly found in the holds of ships which have arrived from tropical ports. A Liverpool fruiterer recently had a most narrow escape from being bitten by a viper which arrived in a case of SPANISH MELONS. The crew of the steamer "Navin- shire—once had a most remarkably lively time with a hyena which had been taken aboard at Las Palmas, consigned to the London Office of the West Africa Company. The creature had only been on board a very brief time when it smashed its way out of its box and took refuge among a quantity of cargo under the fore- castle deck. There it remained dur- ing the whole of the rest of the voy- age, no one being able to go near the savage beast. It was not until the vessel was berthed in the Vic- toria Dock, and expert assistance ob- tained, that it could be caught. Then the place was gradually cleared of cargo, and the hyena, skulking in a dark corner behind a large barrel, was lassoed. A creature which is a regular bug- bear to the agricultural authorities of Africa, North America, and many other parts of the world, is the so- called flying -fox, a sort of large fruit -eating bat, which exists in countless numbers in its native country, Australia, and there works endless damage to the crops of peaches, oranges, and other fruits. It is quite frequently found in a dor- mant state inside packages of fruit - trees shipped from Australia, and a very careful watch has to be kept in order to prevent its establishing a footing in some new country, where, like the gipsy-moth, accident- ally brought from Europe to Am- erica, it might do ENDLT'SS DAMAGE. In a cargo of fruit -trees recently sent from Australia to Vancouver no fewer than five flying -foxes were discovered. Rats, of course, are plentiful on practically every ship that floats. They ship themselves most methodi- cally from every port. To give just rine instance of the way in which rats travel. A large China rat was taught on board a steamer in the }vest India Docks on February 10th last. He was labelled and set free. Dn February 28th that identical ro- dent was caught in 'Wellington Street, off the Strand. Singapore is the chief port for rats to come aboard. They may he seen at night ;.limbing, along the hawsers in endless processions. The big cargoes of timber which are sent over in the rough from Australia and America frequently are found to contain strange stowaways. i plump opossum, weighing seven pounds, was recently discovered in a cargo of Australian hardwood, and a pair of dainty Iittle flying squirrels • alive and well, were found in a ma- hogany *'ink brought into Liver- pool as part of the cargo of the "Daphne." They were torpid when brought ashore, but soon reviyed in the warmth.—London Answers. ;i\7TY Frr CELEBRATED. An old Britisher who had been an (flicer in our array was a well- known character in the Western city in which he resided. Although he had lived in the city for twenty years, his dislike and conton pt for the land of the Stars and Stripes, its people and its Governntneunrt, were public property. He lost no oppor- tunity, in fact, of showing his con- tempt. Great surprise, 'therefore, was felt among the citizens when, on the morning of the fourth of July,the house of the Britisher was seen to be dressed in flags fromroof to basement. A brass band played up- ofn the balcrony and a dozen servants were firing off Crackers. A beige firmed gathered, and thinking the Englishman s)atd repented of his dis- like to America and was joining in with Americans in honoring the day on Which they became independent of Britain, they cheered hien vociferous-• lyl+'finally, a noWsartt r main leashed forward and cxclairnod, "Well, ma- jor, So you've come to think well of the Stars and Stripes, sir?" "Nary bit of it," was the retort; "Ilk little show of miners got u;p to celebrate the dray on which the ri34 . egenntry got rid t ?. your' IOA,ISER, AND CAT..

As the eat merely looked a look of s'uptrexne indifference and deciared to move, the Ellnipenor yielded the seat, Patting the ani- mal on the head, he laughingly leant over the chair and signed the book stan4ing. CD�'DT SLEEP. ON ACCOUNT OP HEADACHES AND PAINS IN THE SIDE. The Sad Condition of a Bright Little Girl Until Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills Came to Her Rescue. Many y;owng girls, seen:ti4igly in chic best of health, suddenly grow listless and lose stlnn.gttl. The col- or leaves their cheeks; tthey become thin, have little or no arptpetlte, and Stoller from heasdracb a and other beadily pain. Such was the case of Bessie, youngest daughter of Mfr, Chas.Cobleigur, Eaton Corner, Clue. Serealteng of his daughter's illness and sgebsequlent caeca Mee Cobleigir says: "Up to the age of eleven, Bessie had always enjoyed the beet of health and took great pieasturo in oeit-of-'door play. Shuldcie ly, however, she seemed to lose bar en- ergy; her appetite failed her; she grew thin and pale; slept badly at might, and complained of distrees- inEg headaches in the mtorting. We thought that rest woiusid be bene- ficial to her, and no kept her from School, but instead of regaining her s!tfrengtrh, sane grew weaker and weaker. To make matters worse, dire began to suffer from pains in the side, which were alreoc't past endurance. At this stage we de- Ftded to try Dr. Williams' Pirkk tills. After„ a couple of weeks, the good effect of this medicine wet de- cidedly app,areit. Bessie became more cheerful, heir step quichor, her eyes were brighter arld she seemed more like her former self. Yi'e con- tinued giving her the pills for sev- eral weeks longer, until we felt that rile had fully repo'vered her health and streng;tli. I honestly believe herd it not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, our daughter would not have reco•veretd her health and stfrexlgtb, and I shall always have a good word to say for this medi- cine." Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills will cure all troubles that arise frolm pov- erty of the blood or week nerves.

' Little Muriel was radiant on her return from school one day last week. "We learnt a new song this morn- ing, mummy!" she announced. Mummy expressed her exceeding joy at the news, and thinking that probably Muriel's dainty little fing- ers would be kept out of the domes- tic jampot if she were employed, she asked to hear it. Muriel garnered a halfpenny in con- sideration of the effort she would have to make, and then stood upon the' customary chair. "This is it, mummy!" she said, and the little voice was upraised io song: "I am a little greenhorn, Among a half of cheese, And— "Oh, I don't know any more, mummy! But isn't it a funny song?" Mummy agreed that it was cer- tainly a funny song—so funny, in- deed, that she considered further in- vestigation necessary. But she felt somewhat relieved to find that Muri- el had mistaken the words of the melody, which was really a highly moral ditty, commencing: "'I am a little gleaner . Among the harvest sheaves." Neighbor—"I hear your husband has had his life insured for a large amount." Mrs. Sourface—"He has, has he? Just, like him.

"Give the butter a fair wind, please," remarked a Naval Cadet at a tea party and caused a ripple of amusement among the uninitiated, writes a correspondent. The "nauti- cal expressions heard every day on board the vessels of the king's navy are a language in themselves: -- "Bard and soft tack," it is almost needless to explain stands for bread and ship's biscuits; but should a landsman hear an officer order "sharks" he might be somewhat puzzled and amazed to find it was tho pet name for the lowly sardine. "Tin row," represents condensed milk, while "Fanny Adama," which I'm sure suggests sweet and nice, is merely preserved mutton. The ori- gin of this is said to be as follows "Poor Fanny Adams" was tried for some dire offence and sentenced to be cut up into little bits. The Gov- ernment at that period were of a thrifty turn of mind, so, not to waste anything, they had her tinned and served out to the fleet as mut- ton. The truth of this story cannot be vouched for, as there are several others in connection with the same unfortunate lady. "What's Putty in the report for, Smiler?" "Ise was adrift an hour this morn- ing, carne off tin 'ats, and gave lip to old Chips, who ran him into Number One, so he'll get double whack." "Well, he's been asking for it. He's always half rats, I believe he's a bit wet. I see him ashore yesterday; he was Chats." A TRANSLATION NEEDED. This may sound like double Dutch, and requires explanation. "Putty" is the painter, and nearly all trades. have their nickname. Thus "Bunt- ing," the signalman; "Stripey," ser- geant of marines; "Sticks," the bugler; "Jimmy Bungs," the cooper; "Slushy," the cook's mate; "Jaun- dy," master'at-arms; "Crushers." the corporals; "Tidies, engine room artificers; "Sails," the sailmaker; "Dustyhoy," the ship's steward's boy; "the Doctor" or "tho Doc." "sick berth" steward; "Snob," the bootrnaker. "Putty's being adrift an hour" signifies that he has broken his leave, and that he'd come off "tin hats," I regret to say,• shows that Putty had drunk "not wisely, but too well," which accounts for his giving lip to old "Chips." "Chips" is the car- penter, the warrant officer in charge Of the staff, while "Chippy-chaps" are the members. "Tommy Pipes" figures for boatswain, and "Blue Lights" is the gunner. These also warrant officers. "Number One" is the first lieutenant, to whom poor "Putty" was reported, and the "double whack" that is prophesied for him implies that he has er two offences to answer for. "Half rats" is after the style of "tin hats"—sort of half drunk when he gets the chance -and a "bit wet". corresponds to being a bit weak in the upper stories, as also does the expression "cuts," while "Mats" would show that be was in a db t;r condition, The latter tern), they say, is derived from Chatham, which in days gone by was noted as being a dirty, muddy place. SWAYING THE MAIN, " 'Ere, Jumper, did you see old Sails ashore yesterday coming down Fore street, with his whiskers out to a bow lino cocking a chest with a girl on his arm? She was good gear. My word! he, was swaying the main.,' "1 see'd him, Nobble. She was traps. Old Knocker chaffed him at the Palace, and old Soils said he'd cat and fish his eye, and he did, too • "Oh, that's it. I heard him tell- ing old Pills that he'd fallen against a lamp post. But that didn't wash, and he's flogging the cat about it now; but I told liim that if he's on the sick hist he'll have plenty of tine for his jawing." - This, being interpreted into ordin- ary language, means that "Jumper" Collings wanted to know if "Nob- ble" Clarke had seen the sailmaker walking clown Fore street with his "whiskers newly trimmed," with plenty of "swagger"; he evidently was .not "Chats." The fact of the girl being "good gear" implied that she was good to look at, and Old Sails "swaying the main," showed that he was talking loudly, probably of himself. "Nobble" Clarke agreed, because the fact of her being "traps" means the same thing as "good gear." A BLACK EYId, "Knocker"• 'White appears to have been ' somewhat • indiscreet In. his chaff, as they "parted brass rage," which is the' same thing as quarrel- ling, and "Sails" found it necessary to "cat and fish leis eye" in plain Words, black it. " jack always talks of his elothos as his "rig," ,and if he has to change hie "rig" during the day he talks of "cleaning" himself, It is rather curious to hoar the pipe "Hands to More than half the battle in cleaning greasy dishes is in the soap you use,: If it's Sunlight Soap it's the best$ en t—f s , m—•tesee...W.a.,,..»,meenaeeRit..s/ronssenewaw... clean into 'coaling rig." His descrip- tive powers of personas appearance are good, though not always flatter- ing. For instance, a fellow with "stunsls" is a person afflicted with protuberant ears, while a man "whose chest • has slipped" is one with a corporation, or, as '1 once' heard it described by an officer, as rathergiven to "en -ping-pong." "Rorty" Is a devil-may-care, while "Jack Challow" practically is the same thing. I have heard that there was once a famous character, noted for his . recklessness, who bore that name. GRABBIES AND FATS. "A. Callao ship" is a ship where discipline is slack—in fact, where everybody does pretty much as he likes. This term is nearly extinct, as are also ships of that class. "A gobby ship" applies to the coast- guard ships round our coasts, while a "bug -trap" is the name given to gunboats, as these were greatly used on foreign and hot stations. I think there is no need to seek fur- ther for the derivation. A soldier is called a "Grabby." I air not, going to give the - derivation of this for Sear of insulting my sister service. Engineers used to be called "Fats"; they now rejoice in the title of en- gineer sub -lieutenants, engineer lieu- tenants, etc., up to the rank of en- gineer admiral, so we shall have to find anew name for them, as the • nickname "Fat" would be unsuitable for so important an officer. The chaplain, as every one knows, has from time immemorial been call- ed "the ,sky pilot," an expressive and suitable title. He has been ir- reverently dubbed "Holy Joe," but the name he is given now -a -days, and which I think is best of all, is the "Padre," The "Bundleman" is he who is blessed with a wife. The origin of the term is unknown, but as the wife is certainly not the "man" part of it, we can only conclude that she must be the "bundle."
