From a six dollar-a-mouth job in stave mill be has risen to become the greatest American ship-owner, and the atory of the intervening, rears is one of commercial romance; hard work, dogged perseverance and indomitable courage In the United States, in Canada, in Europe and in China there are industries and benefactions which bear the name of Robert Dollar, and in twenty-one world ports where his ships call this dean of American shipping men is revered and respected.
It is this white-haired, clear-eyed, erect and nimble figure who aclves some minor detail with as much earnestness and de termination as he tackles the gigantic problem of throwing line of steamers around the world.
CAPACITY FOR WORK It is to his remarkable farsightedness, his keen analysis of conditiona, and his tremendous capacity for work that the success of all his enterprises is due.
A representative of The Nautical Gazette enjoyed the privilege of travel- ling as a guest of Captain Dollar on the President Garfield, from Boston to New York and of watching the veteran ship owner in action!

The attack upon the fire in the forward hatches was never abandoned, nor was any attempt made to move the ship away from the wharf.
