Keralis calls everyone sweetface, and most take it for granted, but once, there was one who was a nastyface. Their name has been struck from recorded history.

Quite literally. Xisuma can see them in the server whitelist, but their name is printed in unreadable ever-changing static, same as the names in the End Poem. When asked about it, all Keralis will say is that they were "taken to the other place" and that "they can come back when they've sweetened their face". Probably best to not ask more. ... Definitely best to not ask more.

Not everyone is a “gentleman”

Today we had the question of how you can entrust a 10-13 year old with a dirk. It got me thinking and I've picked out something for you that I think is quite important on the subject of the behaviour of young gentlemen.  Because this is also about rank behaviour on a ship and how some behaved on board. The behaviour of officers, especially in the 18th century, was often very harsh towards the ordinary sailors, to say the least. For as Samuel Leech has well put it- officers did not regard sailors as men with whom to share society. To them, Sailors were just a piece of a living mechanism that was there to serve them, to obey them, not to complain, and to do everything immediately according to their wishes. - This behaviour was also passed on to the midshipmen, as they too had to learn this rank behaviour as officers. If they didn't already get it from their parents, because at that time it was normal that the officers came from good, noble houses or navy or army houses and thus usually already had a superior status compared to all others.

Most of the time, the behaviour was limited and not everyone behaved like let’s call it snob towards the men, but some of them went over the top, even if their life on board was more like that of simple sailors. Baynham recorded the following case in his work, which was described by Jack Nastyface. ... We had a Midshipman on board our ship of a wickadly mischievous disposition, whose sole delight was to insult the feelings of the seamen and furnish pretexts to get them punished.... He was a youth of no more than 12 or 13 years of age; I have often seen him get on the carriage of a gun, call a man to him, and kick him about the tights and body, and with his feet would beat him about the head; and these, although prime seamen, at the same time dared not murmur. - Baynham, 1972, p. 83-84

But why didn't the men fight back with a child? Well, they had to expect that they would be flogged even for defaming a midshipman. A hopeless situation some would think, but far from it. Because the lieutenants and the captain - now and then also the schoolmaster, if there was one on board - had an educational task in addition to their training, and even if they had gone through this tough school, not everyone was a tough dog. And so they often tried to push the young gentlemen in the right direction and they were punished. Sometimes it was nothing more than window dressing to make the men feel that the boy was being punished, but most of the time the punishments were quite ridiculous.

In the case of our little sadist, he had the misfortune to get a new lieutenant of just 21 years of age who gave him a good talking to and sent him to the masthead not just once to cool down. When that didn't help, he met the gunners' daughter and was spanked more than once with a cane. Whether that helped or not is an open question, but it was certainly rewarding for the men he had yelled at.

This kind of behaviour was not unique and many men had to suffer under these conditions and little snotty and brutal officers, which often led to mutinies or at least attempts at mutiny. And finally led to the mutinies in the Nore and Spithead in 1797, which finally led to an improvement and also rethought the thinking of the officers and brought in a little peace, but did not completely end the tyranny of many a man, which he then also got to feel on the part of the crew. In short, don't mess with the lower decks, it can end badly.

As you can see, life at sea was no bed of roses and the “gentlemen” were by no means always those who deserved such a title.

"Are we entering an age when those who don’t have MFAs are considered 'outsider' writers?

" 'Their cruelty,' I replied, 'is made of fear; they are ill with fear. They are a sick nation, a Krankesvolk.'

'Yes, a sick people,' said Munthe, tapping the floor with the tip of his cane, and after a long silence he asked me whether it was true that the Germans were thirsting for blood and destruction.

'They are afraid,' I replied, 'they are afraid of everything and everybody; they kill and destroy out of fear. Not that they fear death; no German, man or woman, young or old, fears death. They are not even afraid of suffering. In a way one may say that they like pain. But they are afraid of all that is living, of all that is living outside of themselves and of all that is different from them. The disease from which they suffer is mysterious. They are afraid above all of the weak, of the defenseless, of the sick, of women and of children. They are afraid of the aged. Their fear has always aroused a profound pity in me. If Europe were to feel sorry for them, perhaps the Germans would be healed of their horrible disease.' "

i want to draw her like you but i feel ugly face is rude..

((I promise I’m not gonna be offended if you intentionally give her a nastyface. Sometimes people make scrunched-up unflattering faces because they smelled a bad fart or there was something slimy in their boot when they put it on and that’s just how life is babey!!!!!

The galley with the pantry aboard HMS Victory

This is the area were the cook and his mates were working. These men were called Jack Nastyface, while the purser's mates were called Jack of the Dust, because they were the ones who handed out the food and ingredients and often covered themselves in bread dust. Why the cook mates were now called Nastyface no one knows any more. But if you read these names in a logbook or something else, then you know who is meant.

Lady of Trafalgar

When during the battle of trafalgar the boats went out to collect possible survivors, the crew of the HMS Pickle’s boat didn’t believe their eyes as they fished a naked woman out of the water.

Lady of Trafalgar by Patrick O’Brien, 2019

But so a certain Jack Nastyface wrote the following:

“Among those who were thus preserved from a watery grave was a young Frenchwoman who was brought aboard our ship in a state of complete nakedness. Although it was in the heat of battle, yet she received every assistance which was at that time in our power; and her distress of mind was soothed as well as we could; until the officers got to their chests, from whence they furnished her with needles and thread to convert sheets into chemises and curtains from their cots to make somewhat of a gown and other garments so that by degrees she was made as comfortable as circumstances would admit; for we all tried who would be most kind to her”. It turned out that the young woman concerned was a survivor of the French Achille and was the wife of one of that ships crew who could not bear to be separated from him when he was ordered to sea. Disguising herself as a boy, she had entered the ship with him and had served at his side until she was told that he had been killed during the battle. Her reaction to his apparent death gave her away.

Lady of Trafalgar, by Patrick O’Brien, 2017

The rescue of the Frenchwoman was described by Captain Moorsom in a letter to his father dated 4th December 1805:

“When the Achille was burning, she (Jeanette) got out of the gunroom port and sat on the rudder chains till some melted lead ran down upon her and forced her to strip and leap off. She swam to a spar where several men were, but one of them bit and kicked her till she was obliged to quit and get to another which supported her til she was taken by The Pickle and sent on board the Revenge. Amongst the men she was lucky enough to find her husband. We were not wanting in civility to the lady. I ordered her two Purser’s shirts to make a petticoat; and other of the officers found something to clothe her*; in a few hours, Jeanette was perfectly happy.”

*One of Revenge’s lieutenants gave Jeanette a length of blue sprigged muslin he had intended for his wife and the Chaplain gave her a pair of his old shoes. Jeanette, originally a dressmaker, quickly made herself a jacket and dress in the Flemish fashion. Additionally she was given a blanket, two pairs of white stockings and two silk handkerchiefs.

Anecdote at the Battle of Trafalgar, 21 October 1805 by William Heath

Each of the officers in HMS Revenge gave the woman a silver dollar and when the ship limped into Gibraltar after enduring the storm which followed the battle, the woman and her husband were put into a Cartel ship which took them both to Spain.
