TH If STACK I The stack to us is a symbol. A SYlIllJ0il of long hours of arduous work. Ol' chipping, of scrap- ping, of red leading and painting. But, lnore than that, the stack with its long plume ol' smoke trailing far behind symbolizes '5Anchors Aweighf' goodbyes, new ports - Adventure ahead! The stack is an integral part of most modern ships. its function is to carry olfl' the products of combustion created by the burning fuel oil. As such il is a source of much distress to the fastidious deck officer, for the Engineer living away from the sun has little regard for cleanli- ness above decks. The result - a poor mixture, inferior combustion and the decks laden with soot. The stack is a comparatively modern addition to ships when viewed along the long avenue of history. The first stack, actually not a real stack by the above definition, was the one used in the galley, alieetioliately called g'Charlie Noble. Stacks really appeared with the advent, ol' steam boats about 1800, and soon became a very decorative part of all vessels. About the turn of the 19th century, stacks were quite the mode, with the large liners lol' that dayl having as many as four or five stacks where one would suffice. Even today, the Giants - the '6Queen However, the hey day of the stack is destined to bc over. ln this fast-changing world, Motor ships will soon replace the others. Some ol' these are already on the High Seas, and, stackless, they are indeed a strange sight. We'll miss the stack. Nw Maryw and the HNormandie'7 than necessary.

The theory underlying the sextant is that it measures angles. In navigation it is usually used to measure the altitude of heavenly bodies above the horizon, although it has other and varied uses. The evolution of the sextant marches right along with world history. The Astrolobe as used hy the early Greek and Arab astronomers was the first rude sextant. Throughout tl1e cen- turies, the development continued until in 1730 Thomas Godfrey and John Hardey, working separately, constructed the first instrument that bears resemblance to our modern sextant. Nathaniel Bowditch in the early 19th century put the finishing touches on the sextant and with a few ilnprovcments it remains the instru- ment we use today. Right now sextants are virtually priceless, what with the great expansion ol' our shipping, naval and merchantile. Sextants 50 years old and over have been called into service to help do their share for Victory.

SECDNID CIQUISE SAILING, sailing over Long Island Sound - Wvell., men, here we are at the end of our last cruise with the M. M. A. The Good ship M. S. T. S. American Pilot has carried us many a mile 'these last three months up and down the sound. It has given us the good training and practical experience to make us the old salts that we are. And an enjoyable three months it was, too! We have passed through one of the most im- Vis ef portant periods in our training. A lot of fun and good times were had on the side that will be remembered in the future. Just what will we captains and chief engineers remember as we rest in our staterooms and cabins in years to come? Perhaps we will remember the Adn1iral's inspections - boat races - Post Cruise Dance - gunnery drill - Mid-Cruise Exams - American Pilot Night. It might have been one of the more common events like our O. D. or Cadet Engineer watches - swimming parties - standing in line for mess or mess itself - going ashore in the run- ning boat - the receipt of mail - Saturday Inspections - classes in No. 2 hold - evening sailing parties - field day Cughj - week-end liberties - abandon ship and fire drills -- sleep- ing on deck at night - bringing stores aboard and taking coke bottles off. I for one will remember certain little scenes - mustering the watch - movies on the after well deck - the bow lookout, as low down and forward as possible - the liberty party leaving the ship - clothes drying in the iidley - shoot- ing the sun - the midnight watch gathered around the food box - the jib and n1ains'l filled in a good breeze - the skipper on the bridge, energetic and patient, not missing a thing that Went on about him. We will remember some of the most used expressions and announcements. 5'Hear this now, hear this now - you can stay, Mac, but that stuff has got to go - anchor detail stand by the foc's'l head - all underclassmen report to the boat deck - anchors away -- but I'm on lness - what good are deckmen - what good are engineers - up from behind - who has the mail - chow down -. 4 -- ., f M ..,.. ei . fs ' tw s ' M M .
