1 thought no ship ever pitched
and rolled as that one did then.
Finally finished, and I thought
I was a real sailor
That voyage took the youth
around the world, in eleven
months.
The next was around the Horn
to San Pedro, Tacoma and back,
after which he knew at least what
can be learned from the old-time,
hard-case, ilI-spawned and
heaVen-condemned bucko mate.
THE mate fitted the ship. She
Il was four masted bark which
under her original name of the
Annie M. Green had hung up
record of fourteen days from Glas-
gov to New York.
Now, under different ownership
and new name, she was cper-
ated on the principle that if the
crew were driven hard enough
they would jump ship at the first
port and their wages would be
saved.
Landmark was one of only three
who didn't jump at San Pedro.
He was young then and thought he
could take it.
When eight Of the crew were
sick and disabled near the Horn.
he saw the mate dive into the
toc's1 swinging a Delaying pin
one morning and all eight
streamed out to work with sore
heads.
L was steering while he stood
nearby one day." the CAPTAIN
smiled, when a big knife whizzed
by me and stuck up IN the deck
about an inch from the mate.
-Four men were working high
overhead on yard, but when the
mate looked up they were too
busy to make any sign.
While we lay at san Pedro. the
mate wouldn't go ashore. And it
was a good thing. The men were
waiting for him.
When he started out again we
had crew of what they call box
car Sailors but one was a big
Norwegian, who beat up the mate
and got away with it.
And coming out from Tacoma
with cargo of 1000 tons of wheat
in bags, the whole crew virtually
mutlnled, tore the ships articles
OIL the wall and threw them over
board, demanded better treatment
and really got it. The voyage back
was not so bad"
EOR all that, however, the voy-
4 age back very nearly was the
last. For three days the ship lay
heeled over in a storm on her
beams ends, as nearly capsized as
could be without going over COM
pletely, from which she was saved
only by continuous day and night
work by all hands-plus the grace
of st. Christopher, the sailors
friend.
Learning the trade on steam
ships is no pathway of roses,
either The young man served
on German freight liners to India
and on British tramps, got the
masters papers and then, times
being hard, shipped before the
mast again.
Later he came with the Swe-
dish-American line, and in 1916
was promoted to be chief officer
of the Texas, calling regularly at
Vera Cruz, New Orleans and
South American ports.
That Texas the old devil sea
had picked for his own. She was
jinxed. Captain Landmark trav-
eled with her while she all but
sank in a West Indian hurricane,
caught fire with cargo of cotton
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-09-08

and went smoking clean across
the Atlantic and finally ground
ed on the coast of Norway and
was beaten to pieces by waves.
No doubt Of there being jinxed
ships, and the Texas was one of
them.
The date of the hurricane is
fixed in Captain Landmarks
memory, Sept. 2, 1918, off the
Windward islands, bound from
Norfolk to Rio de Janeiro.
There was a heavy swell ahead
and the wind blew steadily from
the southeast.
CHORTLY after noon the hur-
~ ricane broke. Toward mid
night, the Texas enthusiastically
disabled herself with a loosened
balance wheel on the propeller
shaft.
She had to be hauled to, for a
quarter of an hour, to be repaired.
1.-THE wind was enough to blow
the horns off {. bull" said Captain
Landmark. Looking up at the
crows nest from the bridget do
not exaggerated saw the waves
higher than that.
Immediately the engine slowed
down, the ship lost steerage way,
drifted around nearly broadside
on and lay down for her beating.
"A single wave swept away every
lifeboat. 1t even took the steam
pipes on the deck winches. The
next day, when the storm was
passed, I saw the pipe broken up
and twisted in small pieces, caught
in corners on deck.
And it had been new pipe when
we started.
I'VE had three pigs in a pen on
the after deck. They went over
board, Of course. I never saw a
ship so battered, except one which
had lost her funnel, too"
NOWADAYS the nearest thing
IN to adventure experienced by
the youngish captain of the Grip
sholm is when Crown Prince
GuStavus Adolphus makes a voy-
age or Greta Carlo does one of
her conspicuous hideaways on
board.
Last summer in a fog off the
Maine coast, it is true, the ship
ran down a fishing schooner, but
to the captains anxious inquiry
through his megaphone the
schooner shouted back, "All safe"
The tough schooling of the sea
Is not apparent in Captain Lund-
mark, except in his confident and
easy cosmopolitanism.

NLD Capt. Johann Landmark
~ of the freighter Kiruna, fly
ing Sweden's crossed blue flag
out Of Stockholm, was known in
all the ports Of northern Europe
because Of his children.
At every school vacation, back
when families were permitted to
go along. the captain brought his
wife on board and their two sons
and five daughters and the ST.
berian sledge dog he had picked
up at Vladivostok
All summer the youngsters
Swarmed about the ship as if it
were grandmotherS barn.
BY the time the boy Sven was
II, he could steer as true a course
as any quartermaster. He worked
at it seriously, steering, and his
father paid him wages of ten ore
-four ore being equal to l cent
for every hour at the wheel.
Summers went by, and one year,
lying in the harbor of Mindless
borough, the pig-iron port in
Yorkshire, a Finnish square-rigger
dropped anchor alongside a Rus
sian ship in registry, by name,
Imperator Alexander II. Captain
Johann knew the Finnish master.
Well" he said to his boy, here

one of the youngest masters of
big passenger ships entering the
port.

tune to exemplify in his own ca
reer the change of the sea from
old to new. Trained and grounded
in the traditions Of sail, he grew
up on steamships and now COM
mandS a famous motor ship.
There are marine architects who
claim that from steam to Diesel
motors is as historic transition
as from sail to steam.
The first thing he had to learn,
becoming a regular sailor, was the
Finnish language-at least, a few
words of it.
There we're a dozen nationalities
on the Imperator Alexander II,
the Firms predominating. One of
the watches was Finnish, They
spoke no Swedish. To this the
rookie was assigned.

other day, was going aloft on
Christmas Eve while the rest of
the crew was below, having their
holiday celebration.
The mate called me and said,
Sven, you see up at the end of
the main royal, there's a couple
of lanyards loose. You go up and
fix them.
I'D never been up there, and, be-
sides, I was alone. But I climbed

Hpective musing, he can compare April,
1918, with January, 1882, as he hangs
his hat in the office Of the ReconStruc-
ton Corporation as chairman OF the
board.
The War Finance Corporation was
much like the Reconstruction Corpora
ton is to be.
1t had the same purpose: To provide
credit for business. Meyer, New
York investment banker before the
war, was one of its original directors:
It was Hquidated in 1880 with all
but $4,000 Of almost billion dollars
IN loans paid back,
He won't talk about that, or little
else, for that matter for publication.
Praised BY Mellon.
Secretary Mellon likes that about
him and other things as well. The
Secretary of the Treasury wrote him
In 1929 when he took a brief respite
from Government service:
"I have learned to rely on your
Ity in your handling Of varied and
difficult problems"
Mellon writes few laudatory letters.
There are members of the Senate who
do not like Meyer, notably Brookhart
OF Iowa-who has called him a Wall
Street decoy duck"
Even Brookhart does not deny that
he is an astute and trained flnancier.

he was graduated from Yale at the age
Of 20 and then spent two years abroad
studying banking.
Independently wealthy when the war
opened, he became associated with the
War Industries Board, then with the
Finance Corporation.
President Coolidge named him to
head the Farm Loan Board in 1927.
He resigned two years later, was named
governor of the Federal Reserve Board
In 1880 and now President Hoover has
new Job for him.
Favors Care With Funds.
He has expressed his views on Gov
ernment financing crisply before Senate
committees. Summed up, it is that
Government money should be handled
Just as carefully as private funds.
His financial ability causes some OF
his associates to marvel but the fact
that he doesn't play golf causes more
comment, perhaps.
Away from business, he talks well,
plays q keen hand of bridge, likes the
game of dominoes and to ride good
horses. His thoroughbreds have taken
ribbons at many shows. He spends
much Of his spare time at his farm,
Seven Springs, Mount Kisco, N. Y.
His son, Eugene, Sd, better known as
"Bill," expects to enter Yale next Fall,
and his four daughters also are in
school.

say he stands more in awe of her
