"When a captain finds his vessel is out of the right channel, carried by negligence, by adverse winds or by blundering through a fog, from the true course, he wastes no time in bemoaning his mistake but at the fist sunburst, takes new bearings, changes his course, steers bravely towards his harbor with renewed courage to make up the time he has lost. The mistake means -- increased care and greater speed." William George Jordan.
