" Whistling and let us honor this sweet tradition is very much against the proprieties of sea-life. You may, in a calm, if not a landsman, woo with soothing whistle San Antonio or Saint Nicholas, and a lagging wind may be spurred in consequence by these patron saints of the mariner ; but once the ship is going, never, wise and wary passenger, whistle, if you fear keel - hauling, for, like the Padrone in the " Golden Legend, " you may find " Only a little while ago, I was whistling to Saint Anto...nio For a capful of wind to fill our sail, And instead of a breeze he has sent a gale. " Figure-heads were at first images of gods, and later of saints and sea - heroes, and were held in high reverence.
