Fair Travelers on Ocean Steamers
Becoming Better Versed in Sea Lore.
Sextant Explained to Fair Voyagers
New lork, .March 40.—item »&•
a time, and i< t so many years ago at I
that, when skippers of large passen-!
ger vessels, carrying women 'ourists, I
often dreaded putting to sea, 'vrrause
of the gauntlet of questions they would
have to run concerning things nauti
cal. Captnins of the Munson liners
plying between New York and South
American ports, which carry many
fair passengers, are finding, however,
that the modern women are much
better versed regarding ships and
other things pertaining to the deep,
than were their sisters of a few years
aeo. .
The captain is" no longer asked,
just before the vessel crosses the Equa
tor, “Will the ship bump much when
we go over the Linei”’
Nor is he called upon to explain
that the rudder steers the ship, and
not the- compass; or that there are no
Crows kept in the “crow's nest.”(
It seemed that svomen never did
read anything about the sea before
going for a tour, and that once aboard
ship they decided to make up for tost
time by firing queries at the captain
every minute he was off the bridge.
For s<me reason or other this order
of things haschantred of late, and now
the women are apparently as well
verted concerning the operation of a
steamship, the methods by which the
craft’s location is arrived at, the nau
tical terms one hears at sea, as the
male passengers.
When an officer is working with his
•extant nowadays he is not apt to
rear that some sweet thing will steal
up on him and ask, “Are you shoot
ing the sun with that little bit of a
gun, Captain? I don’t see how it
can be possible.”
Instead, the parscnger it apt to have
a bit of real knowledge of the use of
the instrument, and to be really inter
ested in its value to the navigator.
All of which is keeping a lot of
Munson Line captains from getting
prematurely grey.
The fact that the modrrn girl and '
woman desires to actually know
things, to be able to talk on varied
topics without having to ask innumer
able and silly sounding questions, is
one reason for this increase in nau
tical knowledge. The growing inter
est in books pertaining to the sea is
another.
Perhaps the biggest factor in edu
cating the female of the species in
this direction, however, was the war.
With hundreds of thousands of Amer
ican youths in some branch or other
of the naval service, phases relating
only to ti.e sea were introdused into
the family circle and retained by the j
women folk, who learned their mean
ing from "gob” brothers, husbands or
sweetheart*.
But no matter wh5t has brought
the change about, it is the'liner cap
tain who is benefiting, who now wel.
comes sensible, sane questions, where
once he dreaded a cross-fire of mean
ingless queries apparently designed to
drive him to an early grave.
