THE "UNWRlTrEN" LAW
In the Marine World-Captain of Ship
Is Ever Supreme Commander.

New York, Jan. 27.-The ''unwTit
ten law in the marine world that the
captain of a ship is supreme COM
mander of his vessel when he leaves
port will not be modified by the fact
that the wireless system keeps him in
constant communication with the Of
fcials of the company. This question
has been raised since the loss of the
Republic, because practically all ac
ton taken by the several ships en-
gagged in the accident followed wire
less communications to their compan~
offices. Speaking of this new question
Vice President Franklin of the White
Star line said today: The ships
ca plain will ever be sole and absolute
in authority in the navigation of his
vessel no matter whether he is in
communication by wireless with the
home offices or not. We could direct
the captain to change his port of des-
tination by wireless or order some
change with regard to preparations to
land baggage but as to navigation that
is a matter for the captain. We might
suggest some move in the case Of ac-
cident but the captain has full right
to adopt it or disregard the sugges-
tion, as he sees fit.
The captain is responsible for his
ship when at sea, whether he is in
communication with his owners or
not
Ships commanders generally are
loath to consider any suggestions of
the wireless, as they desire to pre-
serve the tradition of the sea that a
captain is monarch of all he surveys
when aboard ship.
