An Inland Nation Is Training Sailors
From Our Own Correspondent
Papeete, Feb. 2.
nPHE Polish training ship Bar Pomorza *• arrived at Papeete from Honolulu early in January and departed on Janu ary 15 for Buenos Aires, via Cape Horn.
This vessel —a three-masted square rigged sailing ship carries about 200 cadets who are being trained for the merchant service after the old manner of instruction in sail. Poland, like Fin land, evidently believes that sailing ves sels are not yet obsolete and that the way to make mariners is to train them in the old methods of navigation.
