ASKING THE CAPTAIN.

just what Happened When Information
Was Sought From the Commander.
"Once on an ocean steamer, said a
traveller, I'VE had heated shaft bear
ing, or something Of that sort, so that
the engines stopped for five or six hours.
l had often read and heard about how
the captain was the great lncgul aboard
ship, how about all things pertaining
to the affairs of the ship he held aloof
and must not be approached by the pas
sengers, and that ii was sort of viola
tion of the unwritten rules of the sea
for passenger to ask the captain any
thing. And there may be some reason
i'll all this; if one passenger might ask
him, 30 might, and surely the command
er Of the ship ought not to be unncces-
sarily disturbed by useless questions.
We had been lying there three or four
hours waiting. There was no danger
whatever. but it was delay and All in
cident of interest, and Of course all the
passengers talked about nothing else
the common information was that the
delay was due to heated bearing.
4 Was standing on the upper deck
by the door to the main companionwav
leading to the deck below The captain
came along the upper deck from the
after part Of the ship and Went below
by that companionway. He must pass
within foot Of me, and under the cir
cumstances it did not seem like a vio-
lently unreasonable breach of salt water
etiquette to ask him what was the mat
ter, which did. a passenger who stood
on the other side Of the doorway looked
at me with the amused smile Of an older
traveller The captain said nothing He
simply passed on, to all outward ap-
pearances quite unconscious of my Ques-
tion or even my presence New York
