REVENUE CUTTERS.
Varied Duties of These Life Savers Of
the Seas.


No men in the employ Of Uncle Sam
render more efficient service than do
those of the revenue cutter service.
The term revenue" which would in
dictate that their duties were restricted
to those pertaining to the proper en-
forcement OF the revenue laws. can
give but a faint notion of the varied
duties Of this splendid corps of men,
AS a matter Of fact. revenue cutters
are the life savers Of the seas. They
patrol the coasts on regular beats on
the watch for vessels in distress. They
must suppress mutinies, prevent SNUG
Cling and Illicit seal hunting; they must
examine ships papers, enforce quar-
antne regulations, supply lighthouses
and In general do all kinds of police
work. Then. too. they have been
dubbed "the messenger boys of the
seas"
Alexander Hamilton was the father
or the revenue cutter service. for it
was under his administration of the
treasury department that, in 1911, ten
cutters were built and put In commits
sion under rules or his own devising.
In time or peace the cutters are under
the supervision of the treasury depart
ment, but in times Of war they are
transferred to that of the navy depart
ment. Since the war Of 1912 they hare
always rendered excellent service in
the event Of armed hostilities. Every
one remembers the remarkable work
done by the McCullocb. under Dewey,
at the battle of Manila Bay.--New York
