BY DAY AND NIGHT EXAMINER EXTENDS HIS WATCH OV- ER ALL SHIPS During 24 hours of every war- troubled day an unimpressive little vessel of drab grey* sister to craft spotted at all of Canada’s ocean har­ bours, bobs and tosses in the waves of the Atlantic just off the entrance to Slii Ccist cOcist Dort The insignificance of the little ves­ sel is sharply accentuated every time one of the lean, grim ships of the Bri­ tish or Canadian fleet slips past her. But with all of her humble appear­ ance, she commands the respect and immediate attention of every merch­ ant ship, be it proud liner or rusty tramp. She is the examination vessel of the Royal Canadian Navy and to disobey her warning to stop would bring a hail of shrieking steel from the ever-ready muzzles of coastal batteries concealed among the pleasant green foliage of the shoreline. In many ways, it is a monotonous job for the crew of the little craft, lying at anchor day in and day out while fog lifts and falls and the fret­ ful winds of the North Atlantic moan: through the rigging and pluck at the special signal flag of the examination service that flies from the mast. But often it is an extremely busy job,, when ship after ship comes up from beyond the horizon, sometimes at the rate of more than one an hour, Each new-comer reaching the range, of the signal lamp aboard the examin­ ation vessel is greeted by a series of winks and blinks that informs him he is to stand by to receive an examining officer, Occasionally, by accident, in­ coming vessels have ignored the sig­ nals, only to receive a much more pointed order in the shape of ,a light shell across the bow from a coastal’ gun crew that , has been sitting with itchy trigger-fingers ever since war began. When*the incoming vessel hoves to, the boarding, party leaves the examination craft in a small boat and rows to the side of the visitor. For the next few minutes the board­ ing officer is closeted with the ship’s officers while papers are produced and inspected carefully. If everything is in good order, the boarding officer returns to the eram- ination vessel and the “O.K.” signal starts its rounds. Within a few mo­ ments every officer in. charge of the defences of the portknows who t'he visitor is and all about him. It is then, and only then, that the anti-submar­ ine gates are swung open and the vis­ iting vessel is allowed to pass into the sheltered harbour. Despite the grim necessities of war,, courtesy characterizes the examina­ tion process. It is a brand of polite­ ness that is at all times associated with naval men. When the formalit­ ies are over, they are invariably fol­ lowed by handshakes and grins. Some­ times, when the ship is not British or American, language difficulties arise, but, according to examining officers,, few are the skippers on the seven seas who haven’t acquired enough English to understand or make themselves un­ derstood, , ; i • ; ; , , >. ' Night and day, throughout the year, these watchdogs at Canada’s Atlantic doorway carry on their duty. The job is not one surrounded by the gory that accompanies the dashing destroy- eror the floating fortress, but their part is no less vital in the far-flung pattern of defence formed by the “sil- §nt service” of the Empire, This.Month's.
