Carau The Log of The Caravel N September of l925 a shlp 'lhe Caraxel by name a huge masted schooner carrying a rew of over a hundred was christened and prepared to sail under the guidance of capable officers At first there was rather rough sailing as the entire crew was rnexperrenced however they soon learned their duties and the ship progressed rapidly But there was a battle namely halmg between the first and second ranks with the second vrctorlous After this peace rergned and the good ship contrnued to port On the next tr1p rn the year l926 we left port w1th much the same crew and ofhcers ThlS being the second voyage and eyerythmg not so new the trrp was more successful Once again there arose a battle between the crew of the Hrst voyage and the new crew but thls time we were victorious Financially a huge cargo was conveyed to port lnhe thlrd voyage Real seamen at last what a wonderful feeling Of course we weren t as proficient as the officers and mates but we were certainly more efiicrent than the new crew A great deal must be accomplished financ1ally th1s tr1p for we must give the first mates a dance and that meant hard work' But wrth such capable ofiicers and such an energetrc crew as we had we were xery successful and as a s1Un of our POSIIIOUS we recerved very beaut1ful rrnvs Ah Now comes the last and most important voyage the final return to our home port where each would become captarn of his own ship but before we graduated as captarns we planned to go on a pleasure trrp to Washrngton that IS if our cargoes were rich enough to perrmt And with the aid and cooperatron of all on board we reached Washlngton When we returned we were g1ven a dance that seemed as fine to all as ours had been the year prevrous Then came the final preparat1ons towards recervmg our certrficates of our captarncy how eager eseryone was for th1s rndeed is a great event but yet with all the eagerness and happrness there was a b1t of sadness Sadness at the thought of leavlng our ship the shlp that had taken us safely through four years of mingled pleasure and knowledge lhulu L I 9 - 9 el fl il f 1 1 1 11 V 1 ,- 1 1 - 1 e 1 1 1 1 e . 1 1 1 1 1 ' 1 1 1r 1 1 1 1 1 1 1. , e . - 1 1 1 1 ' 1 11 1 1 4. e e , . . 1 , . . y x.
