AL, Hands on Deck" Still Stands.
While the number and specific char
acter of the rules and regulations
under which American sailors OF today
work would have been beyond the
comprehension of the early American
seafarer, there are some basic princi-
ples of practice at sea that have not
been changed.
1t Is true today, as 1t has always
been. that one order not subject to
modification Is: "All hands on deckW
In other words, any work required for
the safety of vessel, its cargo, pass
enpers or crew, must be done at any
time II is called for by the captain,
and Is not affected by ordinary regu-
lations governing hours and extra com
pensation. Every deck officer ana
sailor, every engineer and fireman ana
coal passer knows this. 1t Is the hrst
rule of service et sea.
Thus the new working rules have
limit whore the time-honored laws OF
the sea prevail. In times OF common
danger all rules are suspended except
the paramount rules Of self preserva.
tion, and in such time the orders OF
the captain are the law of the ship.
