CHAPTER vi.

The turning point in the life OF a
sailor is when he becomes a junior Of
ficer I remember when I bridged the
gap I thought l had achieved great
triumph. Perhaps you remember how
you felt when you graduated from col
lege and you were ready for your voca-
ton. ready to overcome every obstacle
and were certain of successful career.
There is a slight difference between
becoming a Junior officer and going out
into the world after graduating from
college An officer has uniform. There
may be very little gold on it. but never
theless it is an inspiration to the wearer.
At any rate. he has a job. A college
man has to seek his.
Making the grade Of a Junior officer
is like any other step of advancement
An examination must be passed. His
duties, OF course, are on the bridge. He
is now in direct contact with his SUI
perior officers and captain. A promo
ton depends on the individual. He
must have good education for a foun-
dation. he must have ability as leader
and, the most important OF all, he must
have executive ability.
Officers Watched Closely.
This is quickly determined by the
other officers that work with him. The
work of new junior officer is closely
supervised He is permitted to give a
few orders and must stand watch. After
a short period of time, If he is capable,
he remains in the position. but If not he
falls by the wayside. This means re-
turning to the ranks. Few men will ac-
cept a demotion because of his pride,
and ofttimes the young officer abandons
the sea il he finds he Is not qualified to
go up the ladder.
If he remains he continues his studies
and is alert so that he reaches the pin
nacle of his success-that of being a
captain. Supreme command of a ship
is the hope of every seafaring man. 1t
has often been said that If man taken
from the ranks is given authority his
true colors will come to the fore. Some
men become abusive: others can issue
orders in pleasant manner and obtain
the confidence and cooperation of every
one with whom they come in contact.
I recall several instances when a
junior officer would study diligently and
work hard on the decks for many hours
to obtain that rank only to become I'M

In March, 1915, the Prince of Wales
was gazetted a captain and sent to
Egypt. Shortly before this he had paid
one of his rushing visits home on short
leave.
This visit is worth particular men,
ton, for during it the Prince did Two
things he had never done before. one
was to make his first public speech
St, James Palace. The Prince asked
financial support for the Royal Patri-
otto Fund.
II have never made speech before
in public" he said, 80 please forgive
me if do not make myself clear. But
/ shall try as well as I can To tell you
why I am asking you to support TINS
fund"
The speech was delivered haltingly,
with painful hesitation. The speaker
was extremely nervous. Coming down
from the platform the Prince saw an
old guards sergeant whom he had
known we'll in France.
Hello" exclaimed the Prince so
you've been listening to me, have you
II was pretty rotten speech, l am
afraid. I'm not used TO this sort OF
job yet"
well, sir" replied the sergeant with
a grin, having seen you do few Jobs
in France l wouldn't have believed you
would have been that nervous on the
platform addressing people who are
mostly ladies'"
1t was to be some years yet before
the Prince was able to get rid Of his
nervousness as public speaker.
Visits First Night Club.
The other thing the Prince did which
he had never done before was to at
tend a dance at night club. He ar
rived with other officers on leave, and
his presence caused sensation. Not
long afterward officers were forbidden
to attend night clubs. and the Prince
did not see one again till after the war.
When he got to Egypt he was IN
formed that the special job he was
wanted for was to inspect the fortifica
tons along the Suez Canal, with an
engineering officer. 1t became obvious
to the Prince that this Job was of no
Importance. As far as he could judge
there was nothing wrong with the
Notifications. and If there had been his
advice would not have been Of much
value. The Job, such as 1t was, could
be efficiently done by the engineer Of
ficer without his help. So the Prince
went to Cairo and applied TO be sent
back to France.
What went on over the wires among
Cairo. G. H. @. in France and the war
ofice in London can only be Judged by
the results. H. r. H. was packed of
to the Italian front and attached TO
the staff of an Italian general.
The general was a CHEEKY man and
took liking to the Prince. He could
speak English fairly well. and the
Prince became his guest at headquar-
ters During the day the Prince &C
companied the general on his visits of
inspection to the front of the section.
There was not much fighting, and the
Prince found the inspection dull work.
The evenings were livelier. They got
