The most fortunate officer of the Cmbra

Made 10 order without mechanical appliances,
il was work attended with extraordinary
difficulty. For three days and nights the chief
engineer had no sleep; and when the engines
had been ruIaiing for while a bolt head was
found 10 be twisting off and a portion OF the
work had to be done over again. From the
moment tina. the structural weakness of the
thrust shaft was suspected until the arrival of
the steamer at Quarantine the machinery had
to be watched with vigilance as unccaSing as
the breath Of child in n high fever. The
hardest work on the Umbria was done in the
enginc-room but when the ship entered port
the chief engineer was tho hero Of the town.
The passengers stood in groups and chccrcd
for him. and some of the ladies arc even re-
ported to have kissed him. He was outside
the circle Of controversy over signalling and
rcfusas tn accept towing offers.
Captain Mckay was less fortunate than Chief
Engineer Tomlinson, because he had the ter
rible strain OF responsibility without definite
problem of mechanics to work out. There
was, in the first place, the safety Of Il disabled
ship in stormy weather with a high sea run
ming Then there was the necessity OF pro-
tecting the lives of his passengers from any
contingencies which might arise apart from
existing peril from storm and sea. Moreover
he was under obligation to his employers not
only to exercise prudence and sound Judgment
in saving life, cargo and ship, but also to bring
the Umbria into port aS economically rs pos
sibe, without running up heavy bill for
salvage, or impairng public confidence in the
management of the line. All these problems
the captain had to consider in signalling t. the
various ships which approached the storm
tossed disabled Cunarder and bound ND with
them were the uncertainties of weather and
sea, and the possibilities of failure in the en-
CINE room and Of an additional breakdown Of
the machinery. The strain of responsibility
was greater than anything that was known in
the engine room. When Captain Mckay had
followed his Judgment ana carried his ship
safely into port, he was brought face to face
with storm of criticism and controversy which
has not yet abated. The Cunard Line will
probably vindcate his judgment in every re-
spect, but there will always be carping and
censorious critics. ready to assume that he took

In very truth the most unenylable position
on land or seas is that OF COMMANDER OF an
Atlantic liner of the first class. Even when
the sky is clear, the sea quiet and the machll-
cry is working fautlessly, there is an enormous
amount of executive detail for which the salary
offers meagre compensation. Moreover, steam
ship managers are terribly exacting in these
days of stirring competition. Heavy weather
