The Cruise of the Training Ship

by Upton Sinclair


The orlop on board a man-of-war of the Monongahela type is, it may be well to know, a place in the bow below the level of the berth deck. It is subdivided into small storerooms and has a narrow hallway into which the rooms open.

As it is down in the extreme lower part of the ship, away from the sleeping crew, it is an ideal place for certain ingenious ceremonies known in colleges as hazing. When Clif reached the edge of the hatchway, Nanny was just in the act of making the vociferous objections described at the beginning of this chronicle. His subsequent quieting at Crane’s hands, and that cadet’s remarks on the subject came plainly to Clif’s ears.
