One night many years ago I was on the bridge of a ship passing one of our large cities on a quiet night. I saw its lights 41 in the sky and heard the city’s noises.

I have spent twenty-five years on boats. Now I am a 42 . My job is to bring in the large luxury 43 and stay with them until they are safely stopped in their ports.

I felt very 44 the first time I ever docked a big liner. She came 45 up the harbor on a flood tide and towered high over the short little boat. As we drew alongside, a doorway opened 46 at water level and two smartly dressed sailors helped me aboard.

I was escorted to the bridge where I 47 from the captain. I realized I was in 48 of a great ship worth millions of dollars. Having docked several of the large liners, I realized I was not important, 49 simply the quarterback who called the signals.

In spite of 50 we read in the newspapers, I have great faith in this country, praying that a peaceful understanding will come to this 51 world, so that my children can grow up in a world full of happiness. I believe this will come 52 .

I remember the understanding and 53 that took over this country, back in 1949, when a little girl named Kathy Fiskus 54 into an old well in California. Engineers and sandhogs and people in all walks of life worked almost three days, and when they got her out she was dead.

People sent in thousands of dollars in 55 funds, but those who did the work and 56 the equipment wouldn’t take the money. They worked for bigger things. I talked to captains of foreign 57 that came into New York Harbor, and they were just as 58 as we Americans over the tragedy.

I believe some 59 will be found to work together for world peace with the same sympathy and understanding that people worked to rescue little Kathy Fiskus. I believe God will 60 bring this about.
