The men who went down to the sea in ships were a class of their own, with instincts born of the peculiar cruelties of the element they defied instincts which broke across all barriers of nations and races, and even across the hatreds of war. But now these sea-laws had been defied, and the Hun who had defied them had placed himself outside the pale of the human race.
Compare the sea-laws of our Navy with the Roman and Rhodian ocean ordinances; compare them with the "Consulate of the Sea;" compare them with the Laws of the Hanse Towns; compare them with the ancient Wisbury laws. In the last we find that they were ocean democrats in those days. "If he strikes, he ought to receive blow for blow." Thus speak out the Wisbury laws concerning a Gothland sea-captain.
