From 2nd mate to Master I sat and watched my responses being graded by a person that knew and understood what I wrote and instantly recognized if I was right or wrong, or he misunderstood ( possible). In New York (Chief Mate with U.S. Lines) the examiners asked me, "Did Captain Horka teach you this?" "Yes, sir, " I replied. "Uhmm, then it must be right." Too bad you missed those days.
