Ho Borrowed Military Term# From the Arabic and the Spanish. In the early days the rank of admiral was unknown. 'Ihe chief oili d, ecr oi' a squadron was called a coiiis, stable or justice. The term adid miral as now used is derived from ;t- the Arabic "amir,"' or "emir," a ill commander (as in "amir-albuhr," commander of the sea). The early English form was ''amiraC' and is till preserved as such by the French. The Spanish and 1'ortuid guese terms are "almirante," the M Italian "ammiraglio." The title a captain is not a naval but a military in one. Fitd-r the older organization ie the real captain of a ship was a at master, but a military otlieer was n- placed on board, though lie knew ie nothing about nautical affairs. Aj the captain heeaino bigger ^nd bigrv ger the master became smaller and r- smaller until at the present day he is fills a subordinate position, which igradually becoming obsolete, being ?r replaced bv an otlieer under the title es of a navigating lieutenant, g. Commodore conies from, the id Soani.-h "eommendador " The title ik lieutenant, borrowed directly from r. th" French, is more modern and is mean* as a place holder or one who took the p'-tre of the captain when absent. Sublieutenant js still more a modern and at the same time a mis iff nomor, as ho never was n subnet:ss tenant. hut merely a mate or one <s who as.-isted. In former days we a- had no cadets, hut volunteers. Howis | ever, with the gradual advance of is politeness the more seemly term of cadets was borrowed from the is Freneh and adopted as the title of ' the young gentlemen in our navy, tg In place of paymasters the ships :e | of old had pursers, who looked after s- the provisions. The naval purser did more. He had charge of the r- stores of the ship and the money :>f chest. Surgeon.- and surgeons' mates fulfilled the duties of the doc?d tors, ('iiaj)iains are of modern introduction. Xaval instructors and schoolmasters rulml in their stead. The term mate was rather a universal one and applied to all 5r branches. of s; i Notice of Sale. er STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.; S8 COUNTY OF WILLIAMSBURG, pr Court of Common Pleas.
