lUlf ' !■ I njdtm m,4K Profit lured the Phoenecian to Carthage. A deeper need first compelled him to turn the Cedars of Lebanon into craft of the sea. These inscrutable waters have ever been the elusive mistress of the mariner. The surge of racking decks and sting of salt sea spray form indelible sensations which can never be forgotten. There never comes a time when that one more trip will be the last. No skipper will concede that fickle waters have emerged victorious. Rather will he envision greater and more rapid ships with capable officers manning them. Sji? « Four years at the Academy have given us alertness, ' training, and understanding of those men we now suc- ceed. That tradition which we follow has been estab- lished by valiant bands gone down to seas in ships. Rest easy, old skippers. Dream of the sea, the lovely witch that takes every seaman ' s heart. Remember, we love her too. Rest easy.

Cdi : t4jPfi I Captain Fried ' s two brilliant rescues of the twenties were valiant episodes in a long life of adventure and service. Only his extreme youth and age he kept for himself — of his good middle life he gave five years to the Army, eleven to the Navy, and thirty-six to the Merchant Marine as officer and ship- master. As head of the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navi- gation upon his retirement from the sea, he was captain, too, in the United States Coast Guard Reserve. Having given to all. Captain Fried died easily on 3 July 1949, surrounded by decora- tions of kings and presidents; blessed by the prayers of the people he had saved; perma- nently inscribed in the glorious annals of the United States Merchant Marine. The sky was a grey blotter that seemed to absorb the heavy mounting seas, now ahnost ice. Then through the overcast of hail and snow came the report from for- ward. I make something out on the port bow, sir. Might be her. It was. After seven hours of search through a North Atlantic winter. Captain Fried had brought the President Roosevelt to within rescue distance of the British freighter, hnimoe. The oil pumped overboard could only partially control the seas kicked up by the seventy-five mile gale. Through the next four days Captain Fried maneuvered his ship about the helpless Antinoe. Three boats were lowered and lost. Two seamen never returned to tlieir ship.
