Humor of the Sea

[Naharaht]

Galf's comment about this cartoon was," Abie and Os are here seen collecting their hammocks from the Jaunty (the Master-at-Arms) who is removing them from the hammock netting, where they are stored during the day, to give some protection against small arms fire from an enemy.
The Master-at-Arms, being the ship’s policeman, is/was universally not the favourite petty officer on board, amongst the other ranks.".
