Fried compares a ship’s or- ganization with that of a big corporation, both dependent upon the same ecssentials for success.) By CAPT. GEORGE FRIED (Copywright 1929, Associated Press) Chapter XI I have been asked what part I have played in making rescues at sea as captain of a vessel. My an- swer js that I do comparatively little when the whole job is con- sidered. A ship is very much like a big building that houses a large busingss organization of several hundred men. Dnless that organi- zation functions smoothly and has men of ability in the ranks, it is doomed as a commercial failure. ner. Every man must be an exam ple for the next on watch zo that the master is surrounded by ex- ecutives capable of doing things properly. So when I say I did comparatively little as my share of a rescue job I mean that every man on the ship has a duty to perform and we all assist onc an- other. It is not often that I come in direct contact with many of the men employed om my ship, with the possible exception of those en- gaged in duties on the bridge. The safe navigation of the vessel de- pends upon the men in this de- partment, yet, strange to say, one of the laziest men I believe I have ever encountered was a quarter- master on one of my ships. At the particular time I happened to see him at work he did not have enough energy to turn the wheel and keep the ship on the pre- scribed course. He had no excuse “ . . He didn’t know it, but I was keeping my eye on him A vessel is no different. The to offer me for his laxity except captain is indeed like the president of a big corporation. He cannot supervise the workeof everyone in = the organization so he deals di- rectly with the heads of the de- that a eertain amount of work must be done in a given time. This ust be done in ship shape in a seaman-like man- that he was to tired. And I knew of no reason te be tired when watch was four hours on gnd eight off. This man, at the new business of being quartermaster, was of course disrated, for we have no place on ship board for a lazy msan.

He was always in the com- sany of sailors while off watch and ashore. He apparently enjoyed | Sheir companionship, and listened and kept his eyes open. Soon he was ready for promotion and by she end of the year he was a guar- ‘ermaster. Now he is learning navigation. I have seen men—coal passers, {iremen, oilers, deck hands—go up the ladder just as I have done and like hundreds of other officers have done. Therefore, it is not as difficult to get a crew into shape today as in former years when men who worked on sailing ships did not have the same opportuni- ties to advance. However, at the end of almost every voyage on a transatlantic liner several men are discharged for incompetency. Somge leave for other ons, so there is a constant weeding out and re- placement process to keep a crew up to the maximum of efficiency. These changes are in the hands of the department heads and are sel- dom brought to the attention of the captain. Every ship has three depart- ments—the deck, engineering and steward departments. Modern day machinery has become so compli- has as many responsibilities as the master. In the deck department rests the responsibility for the |safe navigation of the vessel, for its safety egquipment, and the radio room, where operators are con- They are responsible also for the radio compass and are called on to this instrument in conjunc- 1 with the calculations of offi- ors on the bridge. The largest group, from the standpoint of per- sonnel, is the steward"s depart- ment, which is responsible for the feeding and general comfort and welfare of the voyagers. The purser’s department is headed by the purser and his assistant, who act as paymasters and do all the clerical work. (Tomorrow: A Cabtain’s Troubles.)
