ROUNDING THE HORN
IN FACT AND STORY
"Ancient Mariner" Contributes Critique on
Sea Tales and Spins Yarn of
His Own

There was one man, and he not a
sailor, that could write perfect arti-
cles about the sea-Charles Dickens.
You can't find a word that he has
written that sailor would take any
exception to; at least, can't recall
any.
And what has made me write this
article? I have just come across the
story in the Atlantic Monthly, May,
1908, Ground the Horn" by T. FL.
Shaw. The first few lines begin,
Clearing the faky foam crests high
in air and dipping them thousands of
feet beneath the surface" What in
the world does the author meant Does
he mean that the waves were thou
sands of feet high, when we all know
that forty feet is the limitf The
whole article from beginning to end
is in the same strain. Now, Cape
Horn is quite bad enough without
trying to make it appear worse than
it is. Again, he says, cit always
blows a gale off Cape Horn" IF it
did we could not get around, so that
is a misstatement. I fail to under
stand what he means when he says:
''The steady Pacific Antarctic drift
a battling current-runs here, and
woe betide the man who once let's his
ship get into the grip of that whirl-
ing stream" We all know there is a
current setting round the Horn, to-
wards the east, at the rate of from
one to three knots, and now, to make
a long story short, and tell all the
troubles of Cape Horn, that current is
all; but for that, rounding Cape Horn
would be nothing. There is no worse
weather there than in the Atlantic
Ocean, and never a hurricane, and all
a man wants is a good ship, properly
loaded, and there is nothing to worry
about. OF course, the larger the ship
the better, but if she don't behave any
better than the one Mr.. Shaw was on
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-12-21

/ ought to know something about
rounding the Horn, as this is my fifty
first passage of it, and the largest ves-
sci Twas ever in was the ship Match
less, 119S tons I have read such re-
marks as this: EFNo vessel of less
than a thousand tons could have lived
through such a gale" What an alb
sufd remark to makel How did the
early navigators get around with YES
sells of from thirty to three hundred
tons?
1t makes me think of what was writ
ten and published in the papers about
one of the captains of Bob Evans
pital. "The terrible strain on his
mind in taking that battleship fleet
through the Magellan Strait had
broken him up.' If that were really
the cause of it, and he fair sample
of the captains in the other fifteen
battleships, may the Lord have mercy
upon them should they ever have to
fight the Japanese. / fancy I could
find sixteen boys on Cape Cod, just
twenty-one years old, who would navi-
gate the sixteen battleships to San
Francisco two or three times before
breaking their constitutions; who, in
fact, would look upon it as a picnic,
as no doubt the whole fleet did, except.
perhaps, Bob Evans, on whose shout
ders was all the responsibility. Had
he only one ship, fancy he would
have called it a picnic. Abe Lincoln
said, "You can not fool all the people
all the time,' but you can not write
anything too foolish about the sea (if
it is bad enough) but there is someone
to publish it, and they expect readers,
providing it is only made terrible
enough, no matter how absurd from a
sailors point of view, or how far from
facts.

He speaks of "wearing ship as
though it were a case of life and
death. Why, we think nothing of
wearing half a dozen times a day. I
have been from all sail to a goose
winged maintopsail, twice in twenty
four hours, but what of that's But,
then, we did not have "British sail
ors,'' mostly Dutch, so-called, but in
reality Scandinavian, and much pre-
ferred Don't you take my word for
it. Go ask the British shipmaster
