It might be supposed that this would be a mere technical manual, for the useof mariners alone. Certainly the Sieur de Champlain, commissioned by the King as a captain in the Western fleet, is as much concerned as any one with all the details of a ship's management.

It behaves him to be kind and affable in conversa tion, peremptory in his commands. In war and in battle, he should be courteous and moderate in victory and keep faith with the beaten foe.
