Ing humanity in distress under any circumstances.
The United States revenue cutter service has
had most interesting history. After the freedom
of the American colonies had been through
the Revolutionary war, the country returned to a
peace basis and the continental navy was dis
banded. From that time forward there no
force available for the protection of the coasts
and the maritime interests of the new republic
until there came response to long-felt want
the organization of the revenue cutter service.
This OF the acts of first congress.
President George Washington signed the act in
August, 1890 and within little than year
ten vessels were ready for duty. Thereafter for
period of nearly seven years the little fleet
formed the only armed force afoat flying the
stars and stripes, and the ships constantly
engaged in patrong the coastline OF the country

Ice made from among those who had served
in the continental navy, and since that time many
men who prepared themselves for naval serv-
ice have amended their life plans TO the extent
of taking commissions in the maritime police
force.
The work of the revenue cutter service, de-
fined by the various laws which have been en-
acted on the subject, consists in the enforcement
of almost every statute bearing upon the maritime
interests of the nation. At the head of the cate
CORY comes, of course, the protection of the Gus
toms revenue and If smuggling in any form is
suspected the revenue cutter officers have the
right of search of all merchant vessels arriving
within near the United States or bound for an
American port The suppression of piracy is not
heavy responsibility any more, but the search
for wrecked and missing vessels is a responsi-
bity which has expanded the other has con
tracted. The enforcement of the neutrality laws
is always something of a chore, thanks to the
South and Central American revolutions that are
hatched in the United States Another important
task is found in the enforcement of law and the
protection Of property in Alaska, including the
protection of the seal and other fisheries in Alas
