Excerpt from The Life and Adventures of Jack Philip, Rear Admiral, U. S: A Memorial Magazine in Four Numbers, May, June, July and August, 1903

First of all, the sense of duty, the tendency to foster which is one of the highest and most distinctive privileges of a profession which has many drawbacks to overweigh.
