SPEED VERSUS SAFETY.

Must Make Quick Time.

4 - Captain Tells How and WY He
Must Make Quick Time.
A passenger on one of the European
liners made jocose remark to the cap
tain one night as they were chatting
familiarly ON deck
"You sea captains" he said, ''are
the only absolute sovereigns now left in
the world. When the ship leaves port,
your will is law. Every one ON board
recognizes your supreme authority.
From your decisions there are no ap-
peals Every life is in your keeping.
You are sea kings indeed.
mo, we are bondmen of the com.
pany managers, was the bluff old cap
tain's reply. I've are under obliga-
lions to make fast runs, yet never to
take any risks 1t is no longer possible
for the captain Of q first class liner to
exercise discretion.
"Why, on my last run across the At
lantic," he continued. rapidly warming
up, 81 had bad weather nearly all the
way. When the wind was not blowing
o gale, there was dense fog, and didn't
dare to run at full speed. The ship was
SO hours behind time in reaching New
York.
The captain and the passenger were
| intimate friends and talked without re-
| straint
Il went to the main Office" the cap
tain continued, land was received cold
| y by the manager He told me that
had made a very poor run. I tried to
explain how bad the weather had been,
but he listened impatiently. he re-
minded me that other ships leaving
England on the same day had arrived
much earlier, although they must have
had similar weather. He said that the
day for cautious, old fashioned captains
had gone by. The reputation of ship
for speed must be maintained, and cap
tains must be brisk and wide awake, OF
their usefulness would be at an end.
| "You may have noticed, the captain
added after pause, THAT we have been
running at full speed all day in heavy
fog. Your king has been profiting by
the reprimand which he received, and
he hasn't known q comfortable moment
until the fog lifted an hour ago
$50 you see that the kings of the sea
arc the managers bondmen. If they
are cautious and avoid risks, they are
considered sleepy and slow. If they are
venturesome and the ship goes wrong,
then they are condemned as foolhardy.
That's the tyranny of the sea, even il
we are kings ON deck. ''-Philadelphia
