The captain is the man ia supreme
charge OF the ship, and every officer,
from the highest to the lowest is but
the representative of the captain in
whatever he does while on duty. The
next in rank is the executive officer,
who organizes, drills and maintains
discipline among the crew; handles the
ship from the bridge, under the super
vision of the captain, when all hands
are called, and is the general house
keeper of the ship, being held respon-
general condition OF both vessel and
crew. save in the engine-room, where
the chief engineer is in charge. Al
though none but the captain may i'm
pose a punishment on either officer or
man, the executive officer must compel
discipline short of actdsl punishment,
which he recommends to- the captain
when he deems IL necessary. In fact
every officer and petty oficer may re-
port a subordinate for infraction of dis
ciplino when he deems it necessary, the
captain deciding upon the merits of the
case. The executive officer as his
name implies, is the captains right
