SALT-WATER TALK. 
Thr reason wliy it ship is by common 
consent ilesignatcil in the feminine gender, 
is because so much attention has to be paid 
to her rigging. 
The Maine sails of vessels are often made 
in Massachusetts. 
A ship is never quiet; in a dead calm 
there are always ratlins in the shrouds. 
The only time vessels are known to have 
anything to do with printing types, is on 
their entrance into port; then there is gen¬ 
erally a pi-lot on hoard. 
Sailors may make sail, and yet not he sail- 
makers. 
It is not the best spokesman that is placed 
at Urn wheel. A young man who is fully 
competent to attend to the. steers on a farm, 
finds lie steers wild on board ship. 
You can’t breakfast off a roll of the sea 
any more than you can lie scolded by the 
rail of the ship. 
You cannot purchase any liquor at the 
capstan bur. 
The mate of a ship considers himself a 
man and a sailor, but I Lave had the cap¬ 
tain tell me bis mate was a-boanl. Upon 
questioning the mate closely he owned lie 
was bored ; but a passenger who peeped 
into liis state-room in port, one morning, 
informed me that he was a shaving. 
A knotty question is the ship’s speed, and 
the captain may he naughty enough to tell 
you it is mt a question of miles—knot’s lie 
looks at it. 
A ship may lie said to resemble logwood 
when it's in port. 
You cannot loosen the ship’s hold by tell¬ 
ing all her hands to “ let go.” 
Bailors generally regulate their watches 
by the ship’s bells.
