SERENITY AT SEA
It’ is a fact that men who spend their lives at sea acquire a spiritual as well as a bodily cleanliness, notes “Atticus.” writing in the Sunday Times. There is no dust either on their skins or in their souls. It is also true that life at sea often produces an intellectual serenity. Thus it is instinctive for naval men to sneak well .of their subordinates and their superiors and. even the enemy. Not for them the pointed phrase of malice or irony. Their minds and their sov T s steer a straight course, and they leave it to landlubbers to “write their names” in the oratomal sea with their shifty helmsmanship. ■■ .■
