"The feature of the voyage," he added, "was the manner in which the crew’ worked during the first few’ days out from New York. No, one who has to handle ships could wish America to revert to the old order of things." Prohibition won’t be ail beer and skittles. Prohibition does not ruin the country that adopts it.
