CAPTAIN OF A BATTLESHIP.
Rules with Autocratfc Power, but Is
Burdened with Tremendous
Responsibility.

Over the vast establishment rules
the captain in supreme and isolated
authority, says Lieutenant Command

be those ofahe seamen, for he directs
The movements OF the ship in all eyolu-
tions, and his decision upon all profess
sional points is final. His sponsibEf9
ity az an times is grave ard exactirE
In time Of war it viii strain the ssout-
est nerves; in the hour Of battle it Is
nothing short Of appalling, when he
stands alone in his coming tower,
having control Of al the tremendous
forces lying latent in his ship only to
be released at the proper moment by
= touch Of his hand.
He Is the guiding spirit Of an enor-
nous projectile Of $4,000 tons that
rushes through the water at a speed,
It may be, Of Is knots, and he knows
that the slightest mistake of his head
OF heart may mean a national disaster.
But besides being the naval and mill
itary chief Of the establishment. he is
a Iawyer-a kind Of justice Of the
peace. as IT were, who holds court
every morning, investigates reports Of
misdemeanors and assigns punishment
to the guilty. The delinquents are
brought 70 the "mast'-4he quarter
deck-with their accusers. Both sides
are heard and swift judgment usually
follows. In this capacity it win be
noted that the captain is court, judge
and jury. Not infrequently he acts as
clergyman, and as such is the bishop Of
his diocese. acknowledging no eccle-
siastical superior. reading the service
on Sundays, officiating at the burial Of
the dead. and, in the old days, occa-
sionally marrying lovers
He always messes alone. His gen
erous quarters are entirely separate
from those Of the other officers, ana
at the door Of his cabin stands ma
rine sentry day and night. and none
may enter without being first formally
announced When he comes on deck
TO leave the ship in uniform, or when
he comes on board. he is escorted to
the side by the executive officer and Of
fcer Of the deck. the guard is paraded,
four boys attend at the gangway, the
bugler sounds the silence and every
man on deck stands at attention as the
boatswain pipes him cheerily over the
side.
