He had unusual ideas about navigation, too. 1&8 first officer liked to steer weit. He liked sunsets. But some of his other officers liked to steer east. They liked sunrises. So when the ftrit: officer was on the bridge they went one way and the rest of the time they went another. Naturally, they didn't get anywhere. The line that owned the steamer piled up a large de ficit.

But one day there was a storm, and as the crew persisted in its usual cus torn of obeying the inspiration of the moment, things- went from bad ,to worse, and the steamer sank* Some of the crew managed to launch a life-boat, others jumped into the sea. Very soon the Hfe-boat had picked up •30 many of the crew that it was crowded to capacity, and other sailors were in the water, clinging to the life rope at the gunwales of the boat. Then the captain said, "One third of our crew is still in the water. -We must pull these men aboard too." And one the seamen treplied, "Captain, they won't drown,'and if we pull them aboard she'll sink." ^Nonsense," said the captain,/'they areY'in water tip to their ears--and while it is true that they have hold of the life rope, they are just as much entitled to ba in this boat as we are."
