PV.
When Captain Emmet came
aboard the USS Texas crew
morale was at a mighty low
ebb. We had had a tyrant
before him, a little man to
suture, as well aa everything
else. He seemed always mad
at everybody. Including God,
we were pretty sure.
Maybe Cap'n Emmet knew .
all about this. Perhaps he
was sent to relieve "Little
Nero" to prevent a possible
mutiny.
At any rate, the word got
around real fast that this new
skipper was not only a big
man physically, but he was
an officer, a GENTLEMAN,
and a leader as well.
To have seen and
experienced how this man op
erated, why honestly, you'd
have thought he was always
trying, with all his might,
to sell himself. He was al
ways wanting to know what
we thought of him as if he
had to "make it with us" to

the other way round.
The next day alter he ai
?u -ted command the crew
assembled lor a "get acquain
ted session," he called It.
It lasted about ten minutes
and, mostly. It consisted of
his informing us that he was
new on the job and be was
hoping uut ' s would HELP
HM.
He told us where be was
from, bow many kids be had,
how long he had been In die
navy, and a few other things.
Then he told us that be knew
be could count on us to do -
our job*, and In doing them
we'd be getting HE done.
When he said. ' That's all,"
there was the mightiest yell
of "WELCOME ABOARD,
SKIPPER," than anyone ever
heard, from about 1500
throats.
And, Mister, we meant it.
In less than 24 hours that
was a different ship. We
had ten men In the brig at
the time but just minutes be
fore the assembly we had got
ten orders to turn em all
loose, ft was like Christmas,
Thanksgiving. Easter, and the
Fourth of July all rolled into
one.
1 think everybody felt sorta
dazed? it just seemed unbe
lievable. Maybe we felt like
the prisoners of war did when
they were finally freed.
He didn't say a word about
doing away with discipline.
I think he knew that we all
understood that the regular
rules and regulations still ap
plied.
Every Saturday his stock
rose higher and higher. For
Instance: when he Inspected
the Marine Detachment on top

so shiny that he guested he'd
better have hit dark glasses
before he went any further.
And Pm here to tell you
that the whole Inspection stop
ped right there. He told his
orderly to hold my rifle and
be sent me for those sin
glasses, and he told me where
he "thought" they were.
I beat It back to his cab
In and got em, took back my
rifle, and got In line. Then
he proceeded to Inspect the
Marines.
On that first inspection he
asked four men if they had
beard from home lately, U they
had a girl, if they had pic
tures in their wallets, and he
wanted to see the pictures,
right THBNI One of em told
him that he didn't have a
picture of his girl in his
wallet but that he had a big
one in his locker In the com
partment. Cap'n Emmet
said, "you show her to me
when we get below." And,
sure enough, when he got to
this man's locker below dbcks,
he said, "Now, let's see that
young lady's picutre."
Then, it was not at all un
usual for him, when on in
spection, to stop and comment
on what a heckuva shoeshine
a man had. And once he
asked a buddy of mine if he
thought he could put that kind
of a shine and high gloss on
HE shoes. Naturally, he an
swered, "YES, SIR," and
danged if the Cap'n didn't send
him right that minute to start
the job on all of his black
shoes.
Once when I was on Cap'n's
Orderly watch and we had a
big cribbage game underway,
the Navigation Officer came
to see the skipper about some
navigation matter.
We stopped game and the
Cap'n lowered his head and
looked at the officer over the
top of his bi-focuses as he
listened to the problem. Then
this conversation ensued:
"Can't you see I'm busy?"
"Yes, Sir."
"Aren't you the Navigation
Officer of this ship?"
"Yes, Sir."
Then, navigate. Young Man,
navigate. Besides, I'm about
to win this game here and
you wouldn't want me to stop
now, would you?"
With a grin about as broad
as the beam of the Texas,
the Navigation Officer said,"
Absolutely not. Sir," then he
saluted very smartly, thank
ed the skipper, did an about
face, and took off.
After he was safely out of
earshot the Cap'n laughed the
loudest you ever heard and
said to me, "I'd betcha
anything that that boy wouldn't
Teel a smidgen better right
now than if he had just been
presented the Congressional
Medal. What do you think?"
And you can bet I certainly
thought so, too.
Needless to say, the skip
per was a CHARACTER, and
morale and efficiency on that
battlewagon went, and stayed
sky-high.
It just seemed that the ship
Itself wore a broad happy
smilel
My Buddy, TheCap'n? Man,
