I , As n rulo skippers, outsido the thrco-mllo limit, manage to show In somo way or other that they are sov crolgns of tho deep, carrying out tho ancient saying that a captain Is the "king of his ship." Thero wns ono exclusive captain sailing out of San Francisco who not only had his own steamer chair, but made known the fact that It was his chair and his nlqno by having painted across tho back tho words "Captain only." Tho day after tho vessel sailed on n particular voyago ono of tho passengers pas-sengers happened to scat hlmsolf In tho skipper's deck chair nnd was Immediately Im-mediately told by a Btoward that tho chair was for tho comfort of nono but tho captain. Tho fassenger arose, and having circled tho deck several times, saw tho skipper reclining In tho chair. Ho strolled leisurely over. "Good morning, Captain Only," he said, with n mock saluto, and passed on.
