After we left port and got things shipshape I had opportunity to look over tin* crew and sc<* what they were made of, and I was not long in making up my mind, boy as I was. that we had shipped a hard lot. There Is always a leader in the to’eastle. and in those days it was the best tighter. Seaman ship and education had to how to brute* strength.
