A Revolt Which Became a Revolution. THE elements that had long been working to bring about a revolution had for months been nearer their goal than even they themselves suspected, but they were nevertheless not ready for the final step when events, taking the bit into their teeth, ran away with the revolu- tionists along the very road which they had wanted to follow. It lies in the nature of the employment of those that go down to the sea in ships that they are more resolute and reckless than th...eir shore-keeping brothers, and less amen- able to discipline. They are also subject to certain cosmo- politan, international influences which do not further blind patriotism. Furthermore, the percentage of rude, violent and even criminally inclined men is proportionately higher afloat than ashore. The Russian revolution of 1905 started among the sailors in Cronstadt. The same men set the ex- ample in atrocities against officers in the Russian revolution of 1917. Sailors played a prominent part in the Portuguese revolution, and there are few fleets in the world without their history of rough deeds done by mutinous mariners.
