THE CAPTAINS AUTHORITY.
Docking the Ocean Liners-The Duties
of the Port Crew.

The captains authority over an
ocean liner, and equally, of course, his
responsibility for her, extends only
over the time when she Is crossing the
sea. Practically the responsibility
ceases when she approaches land on
either side, for the pilot assumes
charge of her navigation as soon as
he comes aboard. When the ship ar
rives at her pier, or as soon, to be
exact, as she is within hailing dis
tance, the captain is no longer in con-
troll. She is then under the authority
of the marine superintendent, who is
in command of the piers and tugs and
harbor front equipment of the line,
and who takes charge of the docking
Of all vessels.
To bring a giant liner to rest at her
pier is a delicate operation. The flow
of the tide, the headway impaired by
her engines before they stop, the depth
Of the water, must all be taken into
consideration, for the quarters are mar
row, and If she were to ram the pier
1t would mean bad smash-up. But
with the skill of long experience the
superintendent, by voice and hand,
controls the great vessel perfectly, and
with tugs helping her and cables draw
ing her she glides into her resting
place as quietly and easily as a tired
child slips beneath the covers at night.
Practically from the moment when
the liner is made fast she is turned
over to the crew that never sails. Her
officers remain on duty, and their work
is as arduous and almost as incessant
in port as at sea. But the law re-
quires that the crew of each vessel
shall be paid Off and discharged at
the end Of every voyage. In the case
of the liner they are again signed i'm
mediately, but during the period while
the vessel lies in port they are not Of.
ficially connected with her, and the
work which naturally would fall to
their lot is performed by the port
crew,-Earl Mayo in Leslie's Weekly

therefore that ma agistrates in their de
