CAPTAIN WATKINS'S CAREER.

Paris Is one OF the most experienced officers in
the service Of the American Line. For years be-
fore the Paris was transferred from English to
American nationality he had been IN the employ
OF the lnman Line. and at one time or another
had charge OF almost every ship buils by that com
pany. He Is known as OF the most capable
and careful OF the transatlantic steamship COM
manders, and frequently In times OF danger has
proved himself equal to the exigencles of the mo-
ment. Captain Watkins's unassuming manners ana
genial disposition have won for him many friends
on both sides OF the Atlantic. and there is prob
ably no commander sailing across the ocean who
is held in more affection by his men than the
Pars's commander.
His friends in this city deplore the accident
which may cost him his ship. and cannot believe
