Dick Joy's Story of the Captain and the Narrow Preacher “CYNE of the best rebukes of narrow sectanan- ism that I ever heard,” said Controller Joy yesterday, “was told me some rs ago by Cap- tain John T. Hutton, of Amherstburg, who, by the way, is one of nature’s noblemen and the hero of the ste “In the early ’60s Captain Huttort was sailing a topsail schooner for Ralph and;Company of Detroit, trading between Lake Michigan and Lake Erie ports. On this particular voyage, bound down through the Straits of Mackinaw, in the company of a numerous sailing fleet, all beat- ing against a head wind, the captain chanced to have asa passenger acertain member of the clergy. The good man, whom we will call the parson, being unfamiliar with sailing craft and the handling of seamen, was much annoyed and worried at the captain’s somewhat vigorous lan- guage in his orders to the men on deck. When the topsail yard failed to come round with a will the captain’s ‘left-handed blessings’ were somewhat lavish. “After a time the parson could stand it no longer, and approaching the captain on the quar- ter-deck inquired whether the skipper wasa mem- ber of any church and, if so, why he did not restrain his vigorous language. ‘The parson, in his great interest in the welfare of the captain’s soul, exhorted and enlarged upon the benefits of his own particular religious belief until the dis- course became a sermon, “When the parson eased up a bit Captain Hutton had his say and, pointing to some dozen or more sail of vessels, all on different tacks, but bound in the same dir “*Mr. Parson, do you that fleet? Well, sooner or later every vessel in that fleet, that you now see apparently steering cross courses, will have passed into the St. Clair River by Fort Gratiot light and will be safe in harbor; and it’s the same way with your different religious sect you are all on different tacks, but bound for the same port, only you have different ways of getting there. ow, see that three-master about to crossmy well, Lam going to case my ship a bit so that won't run afoul of her. Now, why the devil don’t you religious chaps do the same thing and not be forever fouling one another?’ “It is needless to say that the parson’s guns were spiked, and when the captain’s vessel arrived at an Ohio port, the parson was invited to preach at a local church, and he in turn invited Captain Hutton, whose vessel was discharging cargo, to come and hear him, as a strong friendship had sprung up between the two men. “The captain, on Sunday morning, togged up in his Sunday best, was shown a seat well up in the front of the church, and in the middle of the sermon the parson turned the captain’s own liberal sectarian views loose upon the congrega- tion, and told the story of the vessels beating down through the Straits of Mackinaw. “The captain told me,” concluded Controller Joy, “that at that moment he would have given all he had in the world to be in a living gale some- where out of sight of land, but that he had to stay and take his medicine like a man.”—Detroit News.
