DEATH ABOARD SHIP. HOW BURIALS AT SEA FROM OCEAN LINERS ARE MANAGED. Llttl Orr Htr Frl th Ral We Sllor mr Bterav rtLmmKrm Ar Tletiw- ef fort t Cfceat tfce Srk. There is bo place where death is mere unwekone than on board a passenger steamer, and between the death and bnrial cf sea trareler the melancholy influence of the erent extend to erery one on board. The Umitatlona of space are Tery likelj rronslble in part for this, for there ia the tetling that until the body bai been cast into the anna cf the eea there ia no setting away from 1L So f pake a man who has croesed the Atlantic ocean many times and who on acre than one occasion had been a ras enj;er on one of the big linera when death had claimed a rictim from among those on beard. Ballon dread a death on board their Teasel aa mnch as anything, and when one occurs they are all anxiety to ren der the body the last ferric, and this fact ia often reifponsible for the bate and scant consideration with which bnrials at sea are too often conducted. Bat the days of rach ceremonies are fast dying, and efforts are now being made which will permit of the body be ing carried for the remainder cf the journey after death and prepcrly buried on land. Etch now it Is generally only sailors and steerage passengers who are buried at sea. and frequently tbc are cast to the waTes without so much as the Tes sel being slowed down and within an hour or two of their death. Often enough a death occurs in a res id without the fact becoming known to more than one or two of the crew or itecrage passenger. Etery effort if made to keep the erent secret, and in the stillness of night, when better class passengers are comfortably curled up in their bunks, a little band of men. mor icg like shadows across the deck, bear a body from below, and. while the rewel ia plowing the tea. the mortal remains wrapped in cants or inclosed in a crudely made box. are quistly slipped orer the ship's side into the mysterious deep. The presence cf a dead body on board has sometimes not eren been inspected by the passengers nntil some one baa noticed the sharks that are following, for it is no meTe sailor's story that sharks know when a ship contains a corpse. A ressel carrying a dead body and passing through waters frequented by sharks Is almost sure to be followed by one or more of those flabes, if it does not cuts pee 1 them. Rather than bury a corpse while sharks are following a vessel the captain will sometimeajjare the bedy placed in the ice chamber and full steam put on the engine until the hungry fishes hare dropped astern completely. In one cae at least a body was ac tually cremated on board by the cap tain's orders because of the sharks. But sharks are not often obstacles to prompt bnriaL and. generally speaking, when a death occurs at sea. the body is slip- red Into the water at night with none to witness) the proceeding but a couple cf the crew and the captain, who reads an abridgment of the m trice from the r rarer book. The manner cf burial cf course de fends gTcatly upon the captain's own feelings in respect to the dead, and it must b acknowledged that these feel ings are in some cases ' all that they should be. Some captains hare the irreatest objection to 'dumping" a dead body into the sea and. when it is nn aroidable. will do their uttermost to conduct the ceremony with all poesJSfo rererence and respect. For all that, there ia always the feel ing of the ship's crew and the melan choly effect cf the presence or a corpse to be reckoned with, and the argument that more consideration is due to the Bring than the dead often prompts a captain to dump" a steerage passenger In the dead of night without mention ing the erect to more than a couple of hands. Thus it often hsppena that while a concert cr a pr irate theatrical perform ance ia going on In the salcon the cap tain Is engaged making arrangements for the burial of some unfortunate crea ture.
