PHYSIOLOGY OF The SEA
some OF the Most Familiar Titles
aud Their origin.

In the early days Of the English ma
val organizations vessels OF war had
double crews. a military one for Tight
ing purposes and another OF mariners
for navigating duties. In consequence,
a large number OF English sea terms
have a military origin.
At that time the rank OF admiral
was unknown. and the chief officer OF
the squadron was called a constable, or
justice. The term admiral as now
used Is derived from the Arabic amir"
or "emir." commander las In Amir
al-Bahr." commander of(-le seal. The
early English form was ~amiral." and
is still preserved as such by the
French.
The title OF captain is not a naval.
but a military one. Originally. the real
captain OF a ship was a master" A
military officer was placed on board.
though he knew nothing OF nautical
matters. Gradually his Importance In
creased. while that Of the master d.
minished proportlonately TIL at the
present day the masters Office is gradu-
ally becoming obsolete. Commodore
comes from the Spanish commentator.
The title Of Lieutenant Is borrowed
directly from the French. and is meant
as a place holder. or one who took the
place OF the captain when absent. In
former days there were no cadets but
volunteers. but with the gradual adj
vance Of p0lIteness. the term cadet was
appropriated from the French.
"Boatswaln" Is derived from the
Saxon SVEN. a servant. The term
quartermaster. "a used in both the
army and navy. appears TO be confus-
Ing and anomalous. In the army II Is
the title OF a commissioned officer who
performs important and responsible
duties. In the navy he Is simply a
warrant officer directing subordinate
duties. In the old ships and In olden
times his position was a more impor-
,ant one: 50 much so that he was con.
sldered to be the fourth part OF the
master-hence the term quartermaster.
The ships cook was once a great
man and there are instances on record
Of his being promoted for efficient pre-
paration OF food The ships steward
was originally the caterer.
The terms larboard and starboard
come from the Italian "questra borda"
and "quelia borda." which by rapid de.
livery became starJoard and larboard;
but owing to the strong similarity oi
sound they were changed into star
board and port latin porto. TO carry.

form having been the cause Of many

palm tree. from which all the leaves
grow. Is a tender substance and is a

leaves are odd They are semiclrcuiar
