This opinion may be regarded as "merely an expression of individual opinion," and is therefore of the greatest value as such!

The very first thing a crew has to learn is to keep time. Unless they do this there is no use in their ever going out on the water, for they would be beaten badly by a much inferior crew which did keep perfect time. And eighty-nine can learn this only by always keeping the question of time...
