Dutch or Spanish or Malacca. He treated them right and spent his wages generously. Like many another old salt he was al¬ ways being taken advantage of by shore folks. Once, when paying his bill at a longshore "hotel," he asked the fair maid behind the counter what she was wearing around her neck. "Oh that is a ribbon," said she. "What did you think it was?" "Oh I thought it was your garter," replied Old Stormie. "Every¬ thing is so high around here." And the bouncer wanted to throw him out. But Old Stormie "could whip his weight in sharks" and this attempt was unsuccessful.

ON SHORE LEAVE
Alfred B. Stormalong visited many foreign countries during his numerous voyages in merchant ships. He took his shore leave with others of the crew. Once, when in Italy, he leaned for just a few minutCiS against the tower of Piza, and it has been away out of plumb ever since. Tourists buy picture post¬ cards of this structure without knowing how this Wonder of the World ever came to be. On the shore of the Red Sea he washed his red flannel shirt. And that accounts for its name and color, old sailorinen say. In Austraha he cast away all of his clothing and bought new gear at a slop-shop. The fleas all got away. They call them kangaroos down there now.
Like many another able seaman Stormalong kept a log of his voyages. His school education had been after all pretty limited. So his log was kept in the characters of some obscure foreign language—Runic, Babylonian or Hindustani. To this day no one has been able to make head or tail of its contents.

| Description |
Charles E. Brown (1872-1946) was curator of the Museum of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin and secretary of the Wisconsin Archaeological Society. He also collected a substantial body of folklore on Wisconsin Indians, lumbering, steamboating, local history, and related topics which he published in pamphlet form. Brown created these pamphlets for the Wisconsin Archaeological Society, the Wisconsin Folklore Society, courses he taught during University of Wisconsin summer sessions, and simply as privately published booklets for the amusement of his friends and colleagues. Most are only 4-8 pages long. In the printed booklets, Brown did not usually cite sources for the tales, but his correspondence and research notes are available in the Wisconsin Historical Society Archives in boxes 2-10 of Wis Mss HB.
