I Botli Scored Out.
The mate had been taking too much grog, and, happening to look at the log book one day, he saw written there: "Mate drunk all day." He asbed the captain if he had put it there. "Yes," replied the captain; "isn't it true?" "It is," replied the mate. "Well, well, better let it stay." The next day the captain found written:" "Captain sober all day," and asked the mate if he put that there. "Yes," responded the mate; "isn't it true?" "It is." "Then we'd better let it stay." Next day both items were scored out. #
