Idlers Reconciled to the Proum of a
’ Dead Body Aboard Holy.
One of the most popular superstitions
of sallormcn used to be against having,
a dead body aboard ship. but it no
longerl holds good—«In passenger ships
at lentil—for nIost of them are now pro-
vided with tho means of preserving the
body of a person who dicson the voyage
until port is reached. This is generally
done bancasing the body inanairtight
metallic cofiln, one or more being car-
ried by every first class passenger vessel,
and there is seldom a murmur from
Jack. Steam and other modern im-
provements have worked as many
thanges in sailor-men as they have in
the w sscls they man, and' Ill consequence
the old time salt, with his superstitions.
his foibles and his notions, is fast dis-
appearing btforc the advance of his less
romantic and no more efficient brother.
“Going to soa ain't what it used to
be," said an old sea captain, with a
sigh. to the writer, to whom he had
been bemoaning the decadence of sailing
vessels, which be ascribed to the rapidly ‘
growing habit ‘ of building enormous
steam freight carriers.
ships, barks and other sailing craft are
going, and in place of real sailormcn
you see II lot of paint scrubbers and
iron poundcrs that hardly knows how
to splice II rope and hasn't as much su-
perstilion as a goat. They don't care
much whether the cargo is dead bodies
or pig iron. "
in the old days the presence of a
corpse aboard was considered bound to
bring storms and other bad luck, and
even now on sailing vessels an immedi-
ate burial over the side is the proper
thing when a death occurs if the skipper
can-s to kelp the forecastle in good he-
Inor. On the big steamships, carrying
hundreds of passengers each trip, a
death is no uncommon thing, and if
there are friends of the dead person
aboard they are likely to have the body
brought to port. it has become a com-
mon custom, too, to ship the bodies of
persons who have died abroad homo by
stcnmships, and on several mcasions
small mortuary chapels have been con-
structed aboard. Otherwise the coffins
are carried as if they were an ordinary
part of the ship's cargo.
Tho skipper already quoted told of
one of the many examples of the sailor's
superstition on the subject that had
come under his observation. A friend
of his was a fi'W years ago commanding
a big clipper ship engaged in the South
American trade. He was a kindly man.
and sailors w-re- always glad to ship
with him, not only because of his not
bring a hard taskmnstcr. but also be-
calls“ his ship was known as "a good
feeder," which is the highest oncomium
Jack can pronounce upon skippcror ves-
sol. On his last voyage the captain was
bound from (‘allao for Antwerp with a
curgoof fertilizer. liI- fI-ll sickIuIddicd
soon after passing the Horn. His body
was propurcd and bond and placed be-
low in the depths of the cargo.
The first mate. who snot-coded to the
command, was not the host of sailors or
popular with thorn-w. llcud winds and
gnh s worn I nmnutcrod in rapid sue-cow
Silill, and tho grumbling of the men
