me ENGINEER CADETS HAVE FINE OPPORTUNITY

Despite the tone the cadet thinks
them the kindest words the boss"
has ever spoken to him. of he goes
feeling as though he would have to
weight his feet To keep them on the
deck. At last his chance has come.
ON his first watch as oiler he Is in
clined to have a chill every time a
hearing gets a little bit warm. The
other oilers on watch with him all
keep an eye on his engine. so that he
shall not get himself into trouble. Oc-
~casionally the engineer in charge of
watch will go over his ground and
feel the different bearings To see how
the boy is doing. But he nevc makes
any comment. Among his comrades
he IL regarded with increased respect.
for he is sure to have the next job
vacant.
When a pay day around the
boss" calls him out Of line. and tells
him to come over and sign ON with the
oilers. Happy day lie has a mans
rating and what is moro to the point
u substantial increase in pay. When
he goes aboard he takes all his he
lonsings and moves in To his new
quarters. the envy of all the remain
ing cadets. As soon as he can get
off he goes home, to tell the folks
about the promotion. He has n strug-
gle to keep from singing on the way,
he feels so good.
The initial trip ms oiler Is fun Of
anxiety for the newly promoted chap.

rades comes down to relieve him.
With a great effort he hauls himself
up the iron stairway. or grid ladder
TO use the proper term. TO the deck.
Finally he makes his quarters n
rolls weakly into his bunk.
During the next few hour life
ceases to hold any charms for him.
Death is far preferable, because 1t
promises freedom from that awful,
awful motion. one of the older hands
takes pity on hi;h and helps him out
on deck where he can get the air.
Before long the attack passes and
leaves him terribly hungry. BY the
time supper Is ready he has m appe-
lite like a farmers hired man.

lie draws the meals from the pantry
and makes up the hunks. Then he has
to scrub the floor and benches every
day. The doctor and the purser make
an inspection of the crews quarters
every morning. and the 'Old Man
himself comes down for that purpose
on Sunday. II the room il not spick

At one side Of the room is a table,

stretches out his arm, moves 1t in
time with the engines and gingerly
touches the crank. At the same time
he wonders how the prices of cork
arms run. To his surprise and delight
he finds he Is doing what he was
afraid to do.
After several months the cadet
reaches "a state OF proficiency where
some obliging oiler will allow him to
do all his work for him. But the lad
is very glad to have the chance.
by this time promotion and disgust
with the life have Trimmed the ranks
of the original crowd that was aboard
when he Joined, and the n time lub-
her finds himself the senior cadet. Now
he can have the choice of hunks and
lockers. The engineers look to him
to keep order i'm the room and break
the cubs in. In short he becomes a
trusted cadet, who relieves the Sec
ond' of the burden Of watching the
cadets as n body. If the messman Is
slack I'm his work he feels that he
has the right to grumble all he wants
to. And the senior cadet usually eX-
ercIses his privilege In that respect.
The other boys look up TO him because
he Is next in line for promotion.
Comes a day when some oiler il i'll.
The "boss'' sends for him and says in
his usual gruff

men. At the end Of the room is a
stand of six lockers. and under the
portfolios on the remaining side are
n couple of wooden benches. In this
space, about Z by ~, the six boys
live.
When the cadets off watch come in
for supper they find a good meal wait
ing for them. For supper they would
be likely to find sausages, mashed po-
tatoes, chops, green peas, tea. bread,
butter, jam and pudding. There is
plenty for every one, and the food liz
OF first quality.
In rough weather the seas OCCASION
ally wash in under the doors, as they
open on the main deck, which. is not
very far above the water line. Then
things get IA complete soaking. Suit
cases and their contents are thor
oughly wetted and shoes go sailing
around waiting for the rightful own
ers to come and claim them. When
going forward for hot water the lads
are sometimes drenched when the ves-
sci ships IA heavy sea.
The cadets do everything for them
selves for the excellent reason that no
one else will do anything for them.
When their clothes become soiled they
are obliged TO become washerwomen.
In spite Of the fact that the means Of
washing they employ are rather primi-
tive some very good work is turned
out.

II requires about a month, or M
voyage, to get the new cadet settled
in his quarters and work. BY that
time he knows what is expected Of him
and the best way of performing his
duties. IL he Is the sort of lad who
tries to get on the oilers will take him
over the main engine and teach him
what they know about the work there.
There isn't anything difficult about
oiling pumps. but the work on the
main engine is a far different PROPOSE
ton. To see an experienced man go
about the work It doesn't look hard.
He seems to get the oil in the cups
every time, and appears to be almost
careless in the way he touches the
machinery to feel for warm bearings.
Now, remember, the machinery Is turn
ing over between eighty-fve and ninety
times a minute. The oil must catch
the cups at the right fraction of a
second or 1t will be wasted, and you
will be out of oil before the watch is
up. Then the engineer on watch will
tell you what he thinks about an oiler
quantity Of oil the other men use; so
II is really necessary to be careful
with 1t.
That part OF the engine where the
pistons grip the c~rankshaft Is known
as the lower ends. The most difficult
part OF learning the oilers work lies In
feeling the bearing here. One is obliged
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-09-05

to put a hand beyond the crank and
dodge the crank when 1t comes back
on the return half of the revolution.
To do it successfully takes a lot of
practice. and in the beginning some
real nerve. OF course when the cadet
does II on one of the c%irculator drivers
II Is simple, but when a ton crank Is
turning over with some 10000 horse
power behind 1t a man feels a good
deal of respect for the thing.
The big piston il working up and
down like a live thing. The cadet and
the oller get up close to the crank and
the oiler leans forward, holding on
with one hand while with the other he
touches the inner side of the crank as
the upper half begins its downward
stroke. II seems simple. But to get
the sensation me must try ii. To the
boy who has to do ii for the first time
1t isn't at all agreeable. Several times
his instructor does II. and then he
turns to the lad and says:
TRY II; GO on"
The lad sees the shaft writhing in
the grip OF the pistons and hears both
engines laundering away in a deafen-
ing o The longer he hesitates the
worse he feels.
"Oh. IL you're afraid" suggests the
oiler In a sneering one
Then with n resigned expression on
his face and cold shivers running up
and down his spinal column the lad
