an unhappy ship becausewas ruled with a rod of The men rooelved no consideration from the Captaliand the officers In nearly tlusame fashion all w6rk and no play
Describing the situation on tho vesselDr Ames says
There was no Joyous laughter everwithin hor nombro there wad no
skylarking about her docks no music
either or instrumental ever brokethe stillness of the evening air either hiport or at sea No pete were about the shipbelonging to the men
The dally Inspections were superb wFar as bright clean arms tidy uniformsperfect decorum and sllenoo were conrented Look In the faces of the crowThey were clean they were Intelligent butthere wes not face that bor-ei soft expression The quick momentary

Dr Ames asks what was the cause of allhisand he answers his bysaying-
It was simply a applicationf a good set of regulations by a narrowalnded man A little on the part-
f the Captain a little consideration forin offlonrs and by thenk for the men anowledgo that the Admiral and Jack havequal claims on the Almighty that theyre built the same have the sameeelings appetites In fact the same

Eight years later Dr served onnether ship and she was painted whiteho ship was very like the black one Thererere the same dlsollpluyt and the same kindif crew but there was a mighty contrastetween this cruise sect the one the blackhip I r Ames puts the contrast in this

for The young woman on thowas n mulatto
Sire was a girl of sixteen a palo mulattowith delicately severe features her hair ap-
propriately dressed In
white shirt waist with trimmlngsand a tailor made thea nicely brought up girl of her ago
Her companion was a still simi-
larly dressed toying with a opera
glassThe two were presently joined by a tall
girt equally light but with the morefeatures of her race When

A large experience in the world had neverincountered anything just like this The
only plausible explanation of these youngomen was that they were daughters ofome of tim professors of tho colored uniersity here Even then with John Sharp
