THE MATE AND HIS DUTIES, by the late Capt. J J. Kelly
—Rockliff & Son, Liverpool. In the wreck of the barque
Mary Stoddart, near Dundalk, we related the circumstances
of the death of Capt. Kelly, of that place, whilst engaged in a
gallant and persevering effort to save the lives of those on
board the above •named vessel, then ashore in Dundalk

small work havit., the above title, a third edition of•which
had been published by that gentleman some time before his
lamented death ; a work which we sjiould like to see in the
hands not only of every mate, but of every master, of
every shipowner, and of every - seaman in the merchant
service ; and not only in the hands of the members of that
service, for whose use it was especially written, but also in
those of officers of the Royal Navy, very many of whom
might learn a profitable lesson from the peu of the merchant
captain. For different as are the- duties and requirements
of the two services, there are many general principles that
are applicable to both, and the qualities which fit a man for
command in the one, qualify him for command in the. other
also. Professional knowledge, firmness, judgment, courage,
forbearance, self-respect and self-government, observation,
knowledge of human nature, gentlemanly bearing, the art
of governing others, patriotism, morality, all are qualities
which together form the character of a good officer, whether
he hold the proud command of a royal ship with a bevy of
educated gentlemen to aid him and carry his orders into
effect, or whether he be the single unsupported man who
walks the merchant vessel's quarter-deck. From whatever
point it is viewed, the education of the officers of our
mercantile marine is . a subject of immense importance.
Whether we contemplate the enormous amount of property
that is intrusted to their care, or the number of human
beings whose health and happiness, indeed, whose very
existence is greatly dependent on them, being placed under
their absolute care and control ; or whether the influence
and example of so numerous a body of men as our merchant
seamen, scattered over the whole surface of the globe, whither
their duties carry them, how great, in the aggregate, is their
power for good or evil. And yet so little tempt has
hitherto been taken to improve or to afford opportunities for
improvement to this important and numerous section of our
community, that, as Captain Kelly in his work observes, it
has long been matter of notoriety that our merchant officers
and seamen are, as a body, more illiterate and less respect-
able than those of any other civilised maritime community.
Peeling the reality of this evil, and the incalculable import-
ance of its being remedied, we hail with much gratification
a work, which, written by one of their own body, and taking
a comprehensive and practical view of the question, is
calculated, we believe, to render an immense service to the
mercantile community, and through that medium to the
country at large. As nearly every . master of a merchant
vessel must have first passed through the grade of mate,
Captain Kelly rightly and judiciously addresses his book to
the latter; for it . will, in the majority of cases, be in that
grade that the character of the future master will be formed,
or, at least, that the germs of that character will he sown.
Nevertheless ther,e are . few masters who could study its
contents without profit, and . not even the most skilful and
accomplished could do so without gratification. We recom.
mend every officer in the merchant service,hnd every seaman
in it, who looks forward either to advancement in his pro-
fession or to self-improvement in his present useful and
honourable calling, to procure and study thin book for
himself. • It contains many useful suggestions in practical
seamanship; although, as its author justly observes, the
rigging of a ship and other departments of a seaman's work
can never be learned from books. It defines the duties of
the mate to the master, to his employers, to the crew, and
to himself.' It contains many excellent remarks on the
management of men, and general discipline, and on sanitary
arrangements on shipboard, some useful information on the
Making and repairing of sails, a vocabulary of sea terms and
phrases in the . Spanish, French, Italian, 'and Betigalee
languages, and also a series of questions and answers on the
marine steam-engine.. The leading feature, however, and
the most valuable portion of the work, is that general in-
struction and good advice to the officer at the merchant
service, and those unsparing but temperate remarks on his
too common failings, which cannot be studied by him with-
out -conducing . to- his„ mental, moral, and professional
imProven.• its; and many parts of which, from their high
tone and practical and universal character, may with the
same benefit be read by persons in any other profession or
position in life. —The Life-Boat.
