The Policy o. the Pol-luck

Concerning the permanent and i'm

unhappy man who had never had his

a trip in sailing ship must Of neces-

into the fallacy. common even am0as
those who follow the sea. that a par
tial or entire clearance Of her crowd
will quite alter her nature: whereas
sailors being sailors that is, people
of certain fairly definite attributes
any given environment makes them
much the same as those who preceded
them.
But entire changes in the personnel
of vessel rarely take place The
officers change, but the crew remains;
the crew goes, but officers stay Or
more frequently some few men are
favorites Of one or two Of the officers,
and they mingle with the new crew

ton is visible once more.

These include all which are perennially
of interest to seafaring men, such as
