cannot fail to he fascinated by The Captain at The Queens For not only is Captain Grattidges autobiography the story of life at sea from sailing vessel days to the present it is also parade of presentday world personali ties nylons as thin shy boy of 15 Harry Grattidgebegan his carecr on the Osborne aa00i ton sailing vessel 0n the Os borne Grattidge endured all the hardships of poor food dirt con stant fatigue and the cruel bully ing attendant on being the young apitc of allhe began to know what it was to love the sea He spent four years on the Osborne followed by an unhappy period in India Then at the age cit twentyfour he was ready for service as officer and wrote letters of application to the important shipping companies tiToJJILtruthfulfi he says1 ehadg no preference But it was the Cunard Line that replied first and it was with Cunard that began forty years service in the first days of March 1914 His first service with Cunard was on the steamship Carpathia which was thenfresh from the glory oi having rescued the sur vivors ol the Titanic And he was on this ship when it per formed thc less honorable ser vice of carrying the Sarajevo assassins of the Archduke Fran cis Ferdinand as they travelled from Trieste to Fiume Captain Grattidge served in the first World War chiefly in the Mediterranean area He was not sorry though hesays to return Lothe merchant navy in the spring of 191i Thezo years between the wars can West lndian and world crui as on ships whose names are still remembered he Mauretania he Berengarlathe Carinthia and the Lancastria During these years howev he realized that the nervousness and panic which had beset him years before as boy soloist inLichiieid Cathedral would recur whenever he was called upon to appear at public function one such occasion arose asked to sing at ships concert He says that ior three days he and louse and red wrestled with sense of duty then eat prevailed and be de cided to refuse ivor Novella young man of 26 at the time was on board however and after listening to hi tory persuaded himito singroiié ng to accomp MR AND MRS RICHARD HARRIS STEELE leave Bracebridge Baptist Church in 1922 Pierce Arrow automobile following their wedding The bride is the iormer Lorna June Smartdaughter of Mr and Mrs any him with this support he managed to periorm but the epi sodc was important he points out as it made himlrcalizo that he would have to conquer this fear ful side of his nature it he were ever to rise to position of com mand on the sea Nevertheless fear dogged him even after he rose to commands for he tells oi the cold sweats and nervous attacks he suffered when he faced guests for cock tail party in his cabin or pre sided at table of celebrities in the ships dining room However probably this very weakness madehirn rather spe cial captain He understood the nervous anxieties from which many people suitor and early in his career decided that hismls sion on the sea was to he of ser vice to others through friend ship Some of his passengers nccded friendship more than others The American woman Dixie was one of these and one feels that in telling abou his concern for her the Captain gives his feelings away allittie more than he means to He wasrcady to gch friend ship and because of this he was responsive to the people he met and is able as result to give the reafdefl ooloriiul pictures of mauyp ie or ds Lgr at Only at Iowa oi thesve widelya difiering people are Lawrence of Arabia Dame Myra Hess Wells Lord Beaverbrook the Duke of Windsor Field Marshal Mont gomery Sir Anthony

St Nazaire Hewas commander of the Fran conia when it served as Sir Win ston Churchills secret headquar ters on the Yalta mission At another period during the war he became staffrcaptain on the Queen Mary and he states that she and her sister ship the Eliz abeth shortened the war by their ability to ferry 15000 troops at atimc He has chosen in the title of his book to be known as Captain of the Queens but one need not read very far to know that his heart was lost to the Queen Mary Actually his command of this great ship came in 1948 just five years before he retired And when he was made Commodore we making soanePFsaLthLEleeLinsDctoherAmsZhe begged that he might be left on her for the rest of hisservice However since this was notpossl lble he took over the Queen Elizabeth forthe last 14 months of his career But to him and many others there was something special about the Queen Mary and seeking to find the secret of this he says that Cunard spent many hundred pounds The clos est that anyone could come to an answer was that whcreas the Queen Elizabeth was great no tel the Queen Mary was great ship Although like Mr Lords recent book on the sinking of the Titanic this book does
