vessel will finally devolvei upon the
one man who heads the other three or
four.
Having attained the rank OF cap
tain in the company's service. the
others are perhaps little better as
officers than the usual complement OF
subordinates. but even this may be
disputed
The routine duties of handling and
navigating big steamer are always
a source of the most curious interest
to passengers making their first trip
on the sea:
On the coastwise steamers which
have their navigating bridge or pilot
house on the upper passenger deck.
the officers are often annoyed beyond
the limit of their patience by passen-
gers whose curiosity leads them to
crowd about the windows of the pilot
house and ask numberless questions.
On the larger ocean steamers this
bother is avoided because the bridge
from which the vessel is controlled is
built well apart from the passenger
accommodations
In the popular mind the captains
Job is to steer the vessel from one
port to the other. So It is. in a man.
ner. but not in the way that the lands
man believes.
On anything larger than a harbor
excursion steamer the captain is sell
dom seen to touch his hand to the
wheel that controls the rudder. Mel
ther does his first officer. or other
navigating officers. A Apetty officer
ranked as "quartermaster" is en-.
gagged for that particular duty
These men have practically no 9TH
er duties and really have little to do
with the actual navigating of the ship.
They are given certain course" to
steer. by the senior officers. who know
the vessels position and how she
should be headed to reach her proper
destination - r@a ~ -i.i
This ability to find the way across
an ocean absolutely devoid of tracks
or guide posts is one Of the greatest
mysteries to the INITIATED. Navigation
is really highly complicated science.
requiring the use of astronomical brin-
ciples and the higher mathematics.
But it has been so simplified by the
use Of rules and formulas. and by the
publication Of elaborate tables that
masters are able to find their posi-
ton at sea with the '.sextant' or hog
yoke" as it is familiarly called, a. ac-
curately as an accomplished mathe-
maticfan could.
The sextant is an instrument Of
great precision. with which the navi-
gator is able to measure the angle be-
tween the hcrizon and any heavenly
body. sun or stars He also makes
use Of a very accurate chronometer.
or clock. which keeps Greenwich
time
With these two instruments and his
tables and formulas he can get the
latitude and longitude Of his vessel at
frequent intervals. In the hours or
days between observations the vessel
is navieated by compass. and her dis
tance measured by patent log which
records the miles travelled. Her direc-
ton and progress from the last ..ob-
served" position are plotted ON the
chart SO that her officers can point at
any instant to the exact position Of
the ship.

Shy. but Ferocious,

No European has ever been able to
meet in their own dwelling places the
Kukuhuhus, shy, yet ferocious tribe
of New Guinea. Other tribes of the
country, while they have great fear
Of the Kukuhuhus, manage to do q
bartering trade with them. They
bring salt, earthenware, dried fish. etc.,
and deposit them in a certain indicated
place. They then retire for a few
hours. being notified to do SO by Gu
rious cry from the distance. The
mountain dwellers then descend to
view the goods offered for sale. II
they want them they put down other
goods, such as skins. feathers and 9TH
err jungle produce, next to those arti-
cles wanted by them. Then they re-
tire, in turn. and when the way seems
clear the coast dwellers approach
again. If the latter are satisfied with
what is offered in exchange they take
the goods put down by the mountain
people and so away; If not satisfied
they retire again as before with empty
hands.-ArgOnaut. :,
