met some celebrated steamship captains
in London. Referring to steamship cap
fans or masters, l must say here that it
seems to me they are expected to do good
deal and die as soon as they can do no
more. A steamship captain is required to
look out for the interests of the company,
the interests OF the ship, the interests of the
passengers. both spiritual and temporal.

he is in the service, when he can no longer
sail he may die in poverty or commit sui

the ship. He got about SIS from enthusiast
tic Americans on board and practically was
of all he surveyed. He was lucky
to put off his birthday till the time of the
terrible flood, for Pharaoh's daughter in
the shape of American generosity has res.
cued him from obscurity and poverty. and
