CHAPTER ".

Learning to toe the mark was never
a difficult experience for me. I learned
the rudiments of discipline in the Army
but had more Of a thorough training
when I enlisted in the Navy. Some
times it is rather difficult to erceive
borders constantly and obey them.
There is a routine the Army and
Navy have outlined for their men.
This routine is, Of course, interrupted
by special orders and commands They
must be carried out. and it is not I'M
usual for superior officer to issue
orders that are annoying to the re-
cipient. Early in my career I learned
to follow all commands and to question
none
Nevertheless, I cannot say that I
have never been disciplined for an in
fraction of regulations, and I recall my
only experience when I was in Gibral-
tar. At that time I was aboard the
Hartford. We got into port early. and
my first duty was to reef off the signal
halyard on the end of the topsail yard
arm. My rank was that of a quarter
master.
Launch Came Alongside.
While 1 was aloft an English launch
happened to come alongside I was
busy and naturally l did not see the
approaching launch. When l returned
to the deck. the officer on duty repri-
manded me for not reporting the ar
rival of this boat. I explained to him
that 1 did not see it, but was sent
back to the bridge on starboard watch.
1 was rather annoyed at being ad-
monished for this error, which 1 hardly
considered my own, and was pacing
back and forth nervously when 1 saw
another English launch coming in the
direction of the Hartford with a tor
pedo in tow. Wishing to be alert. I
Immediately made the report to the
officer and to my surprise was again
