in ships. Down in the bowels of the ves-
sci, he controls not only the propulsion,
but the steering, lighting, pump
ing, anchoring and ventilation of the
modern marine structure, and on the war
ship he is even responsible for the ma
nipulation OF heavy guns. The eyes that
steer the ship are those of the officer OF
the watch, but the brain that guides the
ship TO her destination and regulates her
internal economy is the brain of the ma
rlne engineer. His is the real response
olilty, and, we are afraid, his is the least
share OF the honor that is given to those
who serve their country or their emil ploy-
ers with courage and devotion on the sea.
All the world heard of the gallantry of
Captain Kane or the Calliope, in working
his ship out OF the Samoan anchorage in
the teeth of a cyclone; who heard of the

THE MARINE ENGINEER.

Who Seldom Gets Much Credit.
From the time, less than sixty years
ago, when the first steam vessel crossed
the Atlantic, the evolution of the marine
engineer has been rapid, but he is
the one class of marine craftsman
that, above ali others, has kept pace
with the developments of this fast
speeding age, and he stands to-day the
most finished product OF century that has
created more new types and more new
OCCUPATIONS than any that has preceded
il. The marine engineer to-day is more
important than any deck officer, but his
importance is as little recognized by the
non-seafaring man as his identity is con-
cealed from the view of those who travel
