The deck force. it is true. has the responsibility for the management of the ship in ordinary times. but in times of danger. to which the Senator alludes. the entire ships crew. except possibly those who are kept below with the engine. are brought on deck. They all have their duties. they are in squads and under officers. each assigned to his place and to his particular duty. It seems to me the reasoning of the Senator would require more than the exclusion of the Mongolian or the Chinese from the deck crew. if the Senators Idea is to be carried out. because in times of peril the entire ships crew. except those who may be necessary at certain particular points. like the engine room. are required to be on deck. They are assigned to certain posts. and each party has its duty to perform. At least that is my observation.
