It is the general impression among those
who do not know that the duties and re
sponsibilities of the average skipper of a
regular finer are as many and onerous as
the successful bank president, and that in
addition his salary is just as large. The
responsibility of the one is about as great
as the other, but when it comes to duties
the sea dog has, as a rule, much more to
bear, while, unlike the bank president, his
salary Is as small as his duties are large.
It may surprise some of the regular trans-
Atlantic travelers to learn that their beau
ideal of a sea captain who in faultless gold
laee goes about the deck laughing and
chatting with the tourists, patting the
half-fare tots on the back and doffing his
cap to the rug clad occupants of an easy
steamer chair betw r een the time that he
spends in his berth, in the chart room or
on the bridge, gets little more money a
month than the detective sergeant or the
average steamboat captain. In many in
stances Mr. Gold Lace gets less.
One of the most successful lines running
between this port and Europe pays its
commodore, who has been over twenty
years in this particular service, £35 a
month, or about $175. This is about S4O
a week. The other captains in this fine
are paid the equivalent of $125 for thirty
days labor. Any number of matter-of-no
fact stories have been printed with the
object of showing that the commanders of
the great liners received in some cases
sums ranging from $7,(10 to $12,000 per
year. But such talk is idle. There Is not
a single captain on the ocean who enjoys
ally such income. That many of them de
serve to is another matter entirely. In an
argument that master mariners are well
paid the point is advanced that the officers
are fed while at sea and even alongside
the wharf with the best that the market
affords and at the expense of the steam
ship company. Yet 80 per cent, of these
well-fed gold laces are married and have
big families that demand food, clothes and
a home either here or abroad, whether
or not the ship is in port. This establish
ment costs as much while the master mar
iner is on the bosom of Old Neptune as it
does when he is playing dry cob at home
for a short period. His going or coming
adds or deducts little from the genera]
cost.
There are few pursers on the Atlantic
who command a higher monthly salary
than £lO. They must have years of ex
perience, a host of friends and be “top
saw'yers” as they say at sea, to command
even this figure. Unlike the stewards,
and, in the majority of cases, the ships’
surgeons, the purser is seldom made the
of a generous tip. Nobody seems
able to explain why it is so, unless it be
that the purser, handling all the money
of the voyage, which includes extra pas
sage money, the receipts from rite smoker
made through the chief steward, the wine
bills from the tables, all amounting to a
pretty large figure, is recognized as the
financial end of the floating hotel and is
treated accordingly.
There is no man aboardstlip who is more
generally thrown in with the passengers
than the purser. And there is none who
is capable of making himself more popu
lar or the reverse. Seven-eighths of the
complaints go to him, and he has the pow
er to rectify them if he will. Me can
change the berth, or even the room of the
passenger who thinks the accommodation
assigned him not up to expectation. That
In itself is the source of a great deal of
his popularity. He may go into the smok
er at night when his assistant is maintain
ing the rigor of office hours, puff away
at his brier, sip his grog with the tourists
or make himself generally agreeable with
the poker crowd between card draws. The
smoker and its many attachments are lux
uries which the captain is not permitted
to enjoy, or if permitted, rarely indulges
in Any skipper who would make himself
a jolly good fellow in the smoker would
lose the confidence of those under his care
ns fast as a trout taking a May fly. Not
that his appearance there would make him
any less the sailor, but passengers, for
some reason or another, seem to believe
that the only place for the master of their
.hip is on the bridge or in the chart room.
And If they can picture him on this bridge
in Oilskins and so’wester with the wind
and sleet and Ice blustering around him
bo much the better to the perfection idea
of the practical and capable manner.
Tho poorest paid man in an official ca
parity on a great liner is probably the
surgeon. Some passengers have the
. opinion fliat, as the company pay* the

are not supposed to give financial recog

nitlon for his attention. It is true that
none Is obliged to, but he should. The de
mand of a doctor at sea is in no wise dif
ferent from that demand on land. The
steamship companies give a passenger
board, lodging and transportation at a cost
'.hat could not be tqualed oil ntiy railroad
of the earth, when distance, accommoda
tion and attention are considered. The
luxury of a doctor, while generally forced,
is at tho same time- an auxiliary’ of sea
travel for which rite company receives
nothing, and which, when free medicines
an- included, as they invariably are, costs
quite a good deal. Experienced ocean
travelers seldom forget the surgeon when
necessity mAkcs them call for his atten
tion during a trip. But these experienced
tourists are few ajui far between. The
majority of patients troop ashore at the
end of a passage without so much as a
flourish of an empty hand to the saw
bones of the good ship that brought them
over.
On many of the big liners the "chef” re
ceives as compensation more than any
two of the gold laee brigade. The truth
of the old saying that the easiest way to
reach a man's heart is through his stom
ach, is just as applicable to the gentler
sex, at least It is on shipboard. A supe
rior table with all other conditions equal
means tho superiority of any or every
steamship fine. For that reason the king
pin of the cuisine controls the bigg-si
salary, which not infrequently equals, if
it does not exceed, those paid to rite cap
tain and his chief officer. Economy is
rarely applied to the head of a floating
culinary establishment, even though it
does attack Mr. Gold Lace. Y"et if more
liberal salaries were paid these sea dogs
it is doubtful if their standard of effici
ency could be improved, for those on the
Atlantic cannot he equaled anywhere, not
even east of Suez, where the skipper of
a regular liner is the monarch of till he
surveys.
But if economy is practised on the ’flady"
of the ocean, as Kipling calls the liner, it
is on a small scale compared to that fol
lowed on tho “poor old cargo boat.” An
examination of the annual statements of a
number of tramp steamer concerns flying
the British flag wifi show that the masters
of these vessels receive not more than $0)
per month. The deckhand of an ordinary
river craft would howl like a Ceylon pirate
if he had to do as much work as some of
these captains for as little money. Of
course, where such poor salaries are paid to
master mariners w r ho have hundreds of
thousands’ worth of property at their com
mand there is generally a leak, and the
butcher, baker, candlestick maker, and
even the stevedore and the ship chandler
at ports where this cheap sample of tramp
touches', has to furnish a rebate which the
captain pockets without the formality of
informing the ship’s husband.
The other day the British Board of Trade
suspended for three months the certificate
of the captain of the Beeeroft. The inves
tigation, held at Liverpool, showed a
unique and startling device on the part of
the master of that vessel for pocketing the
wages of his crew during ec voyage. It was
shown that the captain took a big stock
of liquor to sea with him which he retail
ed to the men during the trip. He had
among other spirits twenty cases of whis
ky, for w hich he paid $3.50 a dozen bottles,
and this stuff he sold to the men at about
$2 a bottle. The carpenter’s bill for whisky,
gin and beer during the voyage amounted
to SB7.
The Ashby, of West Hartlepool, is run on
an economical plan if ever a ship was. On
a passage from Baltimore to Bilhoa the
ship averaged 9 1 ,*: knots an hour on a con
sumption of ten tons of coal a day. This
coal cost but six shillings a ton, which
made the daily expenditure for fuel about
$14.80. The engnes of this ship, although of
the triple expansion tyite, are made with a
view to economy as well as for speed. There
are but three engineers on the Ashby, in
cluding the chief. The donkeyman stands
a watch, but does not, of course, get en
gineer's pay. The ship was a dead weight
capacity of 2,650 tons, and notwithstanding
this facl, her entire crew fist, including of
ficers, numbers only twenty-one men. This
is certainly one of the samples of tramp
steamers that has reached the point where
freights must be remarkably low if she
cannot be made to pay.
The Buckingham is another sample that
averages ten knots an hour on a consump
tion of fourteen tons of coal a day, has a
displacement of 2,700 tons and carries a
crew of twenty-nine men all told the A.
B.’s, of sailors, of which get only sl2 a
month. Of course the shareholders of these
ships make a lot of money through this
economy. Take the Crescent as a sample
of profit. Here is a craft that has paid £389
10s. per sixty-fourth share for five and one
half years’ work. Her original cost is un
derstood to have been £335 per sixty-fourth
share, so that she left over 21 per cent, per
annum continuously for five and one-half
years. Rock bottom prices for wages and
Klondike finds for profits were never in
the rush for gold with the successful “poor
old cargo boat.”

COMPARISON OF NAVAL STRENGTH
OF THE NATIONS.
United States Have More anil Better
Ships! Spain tins More Men In Nav
nl Service—Comparative Till,lea ns
They Stnml To-day, With. the
Maine Kllnilnteil.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
At the present time the only country
with which we are likely to become em
broiled in strife is Spain, and even this
would be a war of our own seeking, or
rather the seeking of a few’ fiery but In
fluential jingoes in Congress. It might,
therefore, be of interest to consider what
some of the possibilities of such a war
might be. It wifi do no harm to engage
in this speculation, and who knows hut
it may have the effect of heating a little
sense into the heads of some of these fire
eaters.
This war would be largely a naval one.
The land operations would he mainly con
fined to the movement of our troops in
Cuba, if we w r ere ever so fortunate, or un
fortunate, as to get any of our men over
there. It is more than likely that the war
would he fought out upon the sea between
the great armored cruisers and battleships
which science has planned and brought
forth in the last twenty years. They
would be aided by the torpedo boats, of
which each nation has a goodly share, and
which could be depended upon to do ter
rible destruction to the enemy’s ships.
We have recently Been how an untoward
accident on board the magnificent battle
ship Maine, or, if you wii have it so, a
torpedo manipulated by the Spaniards,
sent her to the bottom with nearly 300
dead. From this some ljlea may be had of
the effectiveness of armored ships against
the little torpedo worked by an electric
wire or ejected from the enemy’s boats.
It is not impossible that the first baltle
of such a war would result in the de
struction of all the boats engaged, and
that no one would be left to tell the tale.
When Frank R. Siockton wrote his story,
“The Great War Syndicate.” it was taken
in (he spirit of burlesque in which lie pro
duced it, bin there is to-day more than a
possibility that a naval war between two
great nations might be over in twenty
four hours and no one left to report the
details.
There Is no doubt as to which of the
two nations, Spain or the United States,
Is the stronger from a naval standpoint.
In ships and armament wo have by far the
superior navy. This is true whether said
of our navy in a completed or a projected
state, but some of the fist published last
week by jingo newspapers are misleading.
These iists include in our navy battleships,
cruisers and torpedo-boats many of which
are for from bring completed, and which
could not be finished even under press of
an immediate declaration of war under
two or three years. Tho navies of the
two nations as they exist to-day are as

From the tables it will be seen that while
Spain has more men in her navy, we out
number her in ships, although she in
cludes some splendid cruisers 111 her list.
Like us, she is adding to her navy, replac
ing the boats she lost in 1895. She is
obliged to have this done, however,
abroad, as she has no shipyard of her
own. Her limited credit has kept back
this work, and it is not likely that the
bouts now under way would be completed
even on "rush” orders liefore two years
from now. Then, too, the classifications
made In the tables favor Spain, placing
boats in the second-class of battleships
which, although heavier than our sole re
maining specimen of that class, could not
cope with it. Their Pelayo is really a mag
nificent fighting machine, and the Viz
caya, now in New York harbor, is a fine,
serviceable armored cruiser, as are also
the other Spanish boats of that class. The
Castilla, Navarra and Aragon are really
wooden boats partly armored. Spain has
plenty of torpedo boats, which she has
employed about Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines.
Then, too, the armament of our cruis
ers is much superior to that of the Span
ish navy. For instance, the PeJayo, their
one first-class battleship, has this: Two
12%-inch, two 11-inch, one 6Mi-inch and
twelve 454-lnch rifles, with six quick-firing
guns. Our Massachusetts has four 13-inch,
eight 8-Inch, four 6-inch and twenty 6-Inch
quick-firing guns. And we have three
others with about the same equipment.
The speed of the Pelayo is fifteen knots,
against seventeen knots by our flrst-clnss
ers. All of our boats excel those, of Spain
in speed. This is true even of the torpedo
boats.
In a naval war with Spain we would
have the disadvantage of a tremendous
coast line, east, south and west, to de
fend. We could do little damage to Spain’s
commerce, because she tins comparatively
a small amount, while some of her second,
third or fourth-rale bouts, while keeping
away from our cruisers, could do us al
most irreparab.e damage.
And if it chanced that a boat of any
size should succeed In getting near one of
our ports that city would be at its mercy.
It would, not need to venture within the
torpedo district. It has been admitted
that a cruiser lying no nearer New York
city than Fire Island could level every
wall in Southern Manhattan.
The defenseless condition of our coast Is
emphasized by the excitement and even
fear caused In New York city to-day by
the presence there of the Vizcaya, al
though on a visit of courtesy. The mere
appearance of the boat on a friendly visit
has almost created a panic. What would
lie the result had she steamed in with her
guns run out and a demand for surrender
of the city?
