MEN APART
SAILORS OF THE SEA "Sailors live apart from us, and are infants among cleverly adulterated minds, but they use the stars for guidance and accept the elements as we do newspapers. It is not good for seamen to wait till the sea warns with headlines screaming calamity; they have to know, and how to meet it. When they sort evidence to learn their whereabouts, seamen must be nearly right in judgment or they may die. Responsibility for the lives of others they put on with their caps. No doubt it makes, a difference in a man, when he must keep strictlj 7 to first things between the sky and the deep. Though to-day. a seaman drives an enormous engine on the ocean and may even allow its course tc< be kept by an automaton, yet he is not released from the> lot of the earliest navigators."—Mr H. M. Tomlinson, "The Wind is Rising."
