he went straight to hotel instead of

the recipient of n message purporting

required but that he was prisoner at

Watches Aboard Shin,

What Is watch on vessel? How
long does watch last? How many
are there In n day? These are ques-
lions often asked by those not familiar
with procedure aboard a vessel. A
watch Is that part OF ships company
which works her for an allotted time.
The crew is generally divided into star
board and port watches, though on
large vessels there is also third, or
iremen's watch. Watches are "set"
at 8 o'clock each evening, the FIRST
