I've worked with my hands, and I've fought for a half loaf of bread with a dirk knife, and I know all the dirty, rotten things of life by direct contact. So when I disagree with the demands of the men who build my vessels I know why I'm disagreeing.

It would kill our mothers." "No; I think they would get over it; but I tell you, Fernando, my opinion is, it don't make much difference." "Why?" "The United States and England are going to fight.
