EQUALITY
As one of the White Star steamships came up New York harbor the other
day, a grimy coal barge floated immediately in front of her. "Clear out
of the way with that old mud scow!" shouted an officer on the bridge.
A round, sun-browned face appeared over the cabin hatchway. "Are ye the
captain of that vessel?"
"No," answered the officer.
"Then spake to yer equals. I'm the captain o' this!" came from the
barge.
