NAVY LEAGUE NOTES. (Contributed.) FEEDING A BATTLESHIP. The menu for the men of His Majesty's fleet has been so planned that the total cost to the country of the daily provisions for each blue-jacket does not exceed lOd per day, ****** The annual cost of feeding each blue-jacket is £ls 4s 2d. ****** A warship like the Dreadnought with its seven hundred lower deck hands, requires about £3O a day, or just under £II,OOO a year to cover the food bill. ****** All officers and men receive the same food allowance. ****** The food allowance consists cf a food ration, the cost of which is sixpence and a "messing' allowance of fourpence in cash. ****** The captain of a warship has his meals alone. * * '*. * * * Next comes the "ward-room mess," where all of not lower rank - than lieutenants of the military line, such as surgeons, chaplains, officers of marines, engineers, and paymasters take their meals. ****** The third mess or "gun-room mess" is where the sub-lieutenants, midshipmen, cadets and junior officers have their meals. * * * * * * In the fourth mess will be found the warrant officers. ****** The messes for the men are also graduated, so that the chief petty officers, stokers, the skilled naval mechanics, and the ordinary seamen may not have their meals together. ****** The food, of course, varies. The official table for a ship in harbour is as folows :I—lib of bread, |lb fresh meat, lib fresh vegetables, J-pint of rum, 4oz sugar, loz tea, (or 2oz coffee), Joz chocolate, |oz condensed milk, loz jam, or marmalade. Mustard, pepper, vinegar, and salt as required; 4oz of preserved meat on one day of the week in harbour, or on two days at sea. * * * * * * The rations served at sea vary from 1 day to day, but the issue of chocolate, tea, sugar and rum is the same as in harbour. ■•'■•# * * * * * When soft bread is not available, *lb of buscuit is served out. ****** When fresh meat is not procurable salt pork or "Fanny Adams" (preserved beef or mutton) is substituted. ***■ * * * , The rations- may be supplemented if the men so desire either from the ship's store or canteen by the expenditure of the 4d per day "messing allowance." **,* * * * Whatever Jack buys from the ship's store, it is supplied at cost The following are the official meal hours: —5 to 5.30 a.m., cocoa; 8 to 8.45 a.m., breakfast; 12 to 1.15 p.m., dinner; 4.15 to 4.45 p.m., tea; 7.30 to 8 p.m., supper.
