Although momentarily expecting to hear his doom pronounced by this man, his admiration for him _ grew, and his own narrow-mindedness stood out in sharp contrast. It has also been previously stated that the manager was of the fatherly sort. For a long time he sat silently staring into ' space and _ chewing viciously at his unlit cigar. He noted the dejected appearance of the cap- tain, and also the increased tinge of gray about his temples. Presently he spoke again, and his tone was kindly: "No, captain, you..are not, an: in- competent. You are a very efficient master. But you have simply at- tempted the impossible, and there is a limit to human ability. "Stand out prominent as a _ leader and reserve final judgment for your- | self. But melt the men under you into a harmonious whole, and give the closest and most careful consideration to the slightest suggestion for im- provement, even though it comes from the most humble. "i doubt not that -the lésson you have learned is inscribed so indelibly on your mind that it will stand you in good stead in future years. "Go back to your boat. and mark you well my words!" Nearly overcome with joy at his great good fortune, the captain ex- tended his hand and said slowly: Uthank you, sit! T° Have gained much, and it shall also be your gain."

Must Take Tugs The following section of the Chi- cago code of 1911, which has been re- cently declared operative, was put in force July 1: a ii44."

The eight vessels are dupli- cates, being freighters of the highest class, having accommodations for about 50 passengers and _ being equipped with refrigerating rooms to handle tropical fruits. The general dimensions are: Length, 414 feet 2 inches; beam, 53 feet, and depth, 31 1/3 feet. The motor launch Nemadji, recent- ly built for the United States Army Engineer, Philadelphia, from designs by J. Murray Watts, of that city, is of unusual interest. The boat is 60 feet over all, 12 feet beam, having a draft of 4 feet, and is equipped with a 125-horsepower motor. The lines of the vessel resemble those of a tug, capable of weathering a good blow.
