Some of Fried's troubles and their attendant serious and humorous sidelights are told in this chapter.) By CAPT. GEORGE FRIED (Copyright 1929, Associated Press) Chapter XII Supervising the operation of the vessel is not always the master’s greatest difficulties. There are times when he might wish he were *a sort of walking encyclopedia. He must answer questions concerning the ship, storms, water and hun- dreds of other subjects pertaining to the sed and should always be ready to tell stories, especially in the dining saloon. Catering to the traveling public and protecting it are also the tasks f the ships but now and the: ew on2 comes slong.

This struck me as rather strange. . inguired’ and found there was 10 baggage in the hold belonging o that couple. I was suspicious. ater I saw them playing cards. They were winning. I warned ‘heir would-be victim, but he did 0t take me seriously. He fully ap- reciated the situation next day vhen he won and they refused to sive him cash, insisting that he weept a check. The gamblers had llowed him to win to vary the nonotony. The matter was brought o my attention and the cash was urned over at my request. No ‘urther games were played in which ‘he couple participated for the re- nainder of the voyage.

One that caused me con- siderable embarrassment for a time vas the case of a woman who left 1 valuable dog with the butcher. The butcher, by the way, takes charge of dogs for the voyage. The trip was rough. The woman yecame sick. Meanwhile the dog nad four pups, three of which jied. Théy were cast overbo: When the woman recovered s was told of the disposition of t dead pups. She refused to believe the story, declaring that the pu were still alive and that some stew- ard was keeping them to sell in port because anyone could tell by looking at the mother that they were very valuable dogs. I do not know if she ever believed the story | but I do know that when we trans- port canaries and a bird dies a| wing is clipped and presented to the consignee as evidence. The| same with foxes. The tail of the animal is cut off and submitted | as absolute evidence of death. Then there was a time when the captain performed mariages atsea, but even before the practice was abolished by the Shipping Board I| had decided to give it up because | they did not always seem “to take.” | Sailors should confine their tying of knots to ropes, I think.

"why don’t you go be-| low to do your work?” “It’s impossible, sir,” he explain- ed, “these shoes belong to a 8cotch man in this cabin and he is hold-! ing the laces on the other side of | the door.” It was mnot right for me to stop the man In his work, That is part of service to passen- gers.
