\n Auckland paper savsr-In connection with the loss of the Wairarapa many people want to know how it is a shipes captain should, by the etiquetto of his profession, stand to much aloof from bis subordinates that, evei in the face of great i danger, none of them dare approach him '? No such fearful responsibi'ity is thrust upon one man in any other profession A military officer when perplexed or anxious holds a • Council of war,' a lawyer when • Cornered ' calls another lawyer to his assistance, and a doctor in a critical case consuhs 'withone, two, or three, or perhaps half a-dozen other doctors. And, in the multitude of counsellors tbere is often wisdom. The ship captain alone is supposed to stand on his dignity He must consult no one though his heart may be in his mouth, as tbere seems to be too much reason to fear was the case with Captain Mcintosh. How absurd!
