THOMAS LYNE, Esq. [Commander.]
Obtained his first commission in 1791, and was senior lieutenant of the Argo 44, Captain (now Rear Admiral) James Bowen, at the reduction of Minorca, in Nov. 1798; and at the capture of the Spanish frigate Santa Teresa, off Majorca, in the night of Feb. 8th, 1799. The following is an extract of the official letter written by his captain on the latter occasion: –
“First Lieutenant, Mr. Thomas Lyne, has much merit in keeping sight, aad observing the different shifts, of the enemy, by which great advantage was gained by the Argo during the chase. Much commendation is due to his professional skill and great exertions after taking possession of the prize, in saving her tottering mast from tumbling overboard.”

He subsequently commanded the Emma government transport, at Isle Bourbon, where he contributed by his “indefatigable exertions” to the re-establishment of our naval supremacy in the Indian Ocean, as was officially acknowledged. In Dec. 1810, he acted as commander of the Eclipse sloop, at the capture of the Isle of France; and in Feb. following, we find him taking possession of Tamatavé, thereby securing to the British “an unmolested traffic with the fruitful and abundant island of Madagascar.” He obtained his present rank on the 18th of April, 1811, and continued to command the Eclipse (latterly on the West India station) until July, 1814.

## Concurring Opinion

    Fortas
United States Supreme Court
390 U.S. 17
Schneider v. Smith, Commandant, United States Coast Guard
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington
No. 196. Argued: December 12-13, 1967 --- Decided: January 16, 1968
Appellant applied to the Commandant of the Coast Guard for validation of his merchant mariner's document evidencing his ability to act as a second assistant engineer. Such validation is required by regulations promulgated pursuant to the Magnuson Act, which authorizes the President, if it finds that "the security of the United States is endangered by... subversive activity," to issue regulations "to safeguard... from sabotage or other subversive acts" all "vessels" in the territories or waters under United States jurisdiction. In response to a questionnaire, appellant stated that he had been a member of some organizations on the Attorney General's list of subversive organizations, but he refused to answer certain questions on a supplemental form relating generally to the nature and extent of his membership in any of the groups and to his political philosophy. When the Commandant refused to process the application further, appellant brought this action seeking a declaration that the Act and the Commandant's actions thereunder were unconstitutional and praying that the Commandant be directed to approve the application. A three-judge court dismissed the complaint.
Held:
    1. Since appellant challenged the Act's constitutionality on grounds of vagueness and abridgment of First Amendment rights and also questioned whether the power to install a screening program was properly delegated, the case was one to be heard by a three-judge court and this Court has jurisdiction of the appeal. P. 22.
    2. The Act gives the President no express authority to set up a screening program for personnel on American merchant vessels. P. 22.
    3. The procedure involved here, which is not concerned with appellant's conduct, but which arguably does impinge on his First Amendment freedoms, cannot be justified by the language of the Act, as the Act is to be read narrowly to avoid questions concerning "associational freedom" and other rights within the protection of the First Amendment. Pp. 22-27.
263 F. Supp. 496, reversed.
Leonard W. Schroeter and John Caughlan argued the cause and filed a brief for appellant.
John S. Martin, Jr., argued the cause for appellee. With him on the brief were Solicitor General Griswold, Assistant Attorney General Yeagley, Kevin T. Maroney, and Lee B. Anderson.

United States Supreme Court
390 U.S. 17
Schneider v. Smith
Argued: Dec. 12 and 13, 1967. --- Decided: Jan 16, 1968
Mr. Justice FORTAS, concurring.
I concur in the opinion of the Court. Reversal is dictated because the interrogatories which petitioner refused to answer offend the First Amendment. Shelton v. Tucker, 364 U.S. 479, 81 S.Ct. 247, 5 L.Ed.2d 231 (1960). (They also pass the outermost bounds of reason. No agency may be permitted to require of a person, subject to heavy penalty, sworn essays as to his 'attitude toward the form of Government in the United States' or 'full particulars,' under oath, without time limit, as to contributions made and functions attended with respect to 250 organizations.) I agree that since Congress did not specifically authorize a personnel screening program, authority to impose procedures of the comprehensive type here involved, necessarily impinging on First Amendment freedoms, may not be inferred from dubious general language. The fault, however, is not that there was an inadequate or improper delegation, but that Congress did not authorize the type of investigation which was launched. Needless to say, Congress has constitutional power to authorize an appropriate personnel screening program and to delegate to executive officials the power to implement and administer it. See United States v. Robel, 389 U.S. 258, 88 S.Ct. 419, 19 L.Ed.2d 508 (1967).
Mr. Justice STEWART, agreeing with the separate views of Mr. Justice FORTAS, concurs in the judgment.
Mr. Justice WHITE, with whom Mr. Justice HARLAN joins, concurring in the result.
I agree with the Court that the Magnuson Act did not authorize the inquiry undertaken by the Coast Guard Commandant and that therefore the judgment of the District Court must be reversed. I express no opinion as to the scope of inquiry which Congress could constitutionally provide with respect to applicants for the position of merchant seaman.

I do not agree with the majority of the Court in its disposition of this appeal. The plaintiff stockholders concerned in this litigation have, for a considerable period of time, sought to obtain control of the defendant corporation. These attempts took various forms.

Ye men of Canada ! Subjects with me of that Imperial Power Whose liberties are are marching round the earth : I need not urge you now to follow me, Though what befalls will try your stubborn faith In the fierce fire and crucible of war. I need not urge you, you have heard the voice Of loyalty, and answered to its call. Who has not read the insults of the foe — The manifesto of his purposed crimes I That foe, whose poison-paint, false liberty, Runs o'er his body politic and kills Whilst seeming to adorn it, fronts us now ! Threats our poor Province to annihilate, And should we find the red men by our side — Poor injured souls, who but defend their own — Calls back Extermination from its hell, To stalk abroad, and stench your land with slaughter. These are our weighty arguments of war, Wherein armed Justice will enclasp its sword, And sheath it in its bitter adversary ; Wherein we'll turn our bayonet-points to pens, . And write in blood : — Here lies the poor invader ; Or be ourselves struck down by hailing death : Made stepping stones for foes to walk upon — The lifeless gangways to our country's ruin. For now we look not with the eye of fear ; We reck not if this strange mechanic frame — Stop in an instant in the shock of war. Our death may build into our country's life, And failing this, 'twere better still to die Than live the breathing spoils of infamy. Then forward for our cause and Canada ! Forward for Britain's Empire — peerless arch Of Freedom's raising, whose majestic span Is axis to the world ! On, on, my friends ' The task our country sets must we perform — Wring peace from war, or perish in its storm!

From "Departmental Ditties" (1886). The title refers to Uriah the Hittite whose story parallels this tale of a British soldier. See Notes on The Story of Uriah at the Kipling Society.
THE STORY OF URIAH
"Now there were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor."

The Run of the Downs
The Weald is good, the Downs are best— I'll give you the run of 'em, East to West. Beachy Head and Winddoor Hill, They were once and they are still. Firle, Mount Caburn and Mount Harry Go back as far as sums'll carry. Ditchling Beacon and Chanctonbury Ring, They have looked on many a thing, ​And what those two have missed between 'em, I reckon Truleigh Hill has seen 'em. Highden, Bignor and Duncton Down Knew Old England before the Crown. Linch Down, Treyford and Sunwood Knew Old England before the Flood; And when you end on the Hampshire side— Butser's old as Time and Tide. The Downs are sheep, the Weald is corn, You be glad you are Sussex born!
