Perhaps there Is something apologetic in the smile with which Captain Moon greets you In his aftercabin on “The Buccaneer.” The years have added to his girth and his ankles now defy close-laced shoes. But his eye Is keen, his Jovial face indelibly bronzed, his speech spiced with the lingo of the deep. “Ml I could. I opposed paintin’ this ship up like a Christmas tree,” he said, feeling explanations due. 1 “Look at those colors. No apothe-

Takes time to put on, devil to keep clean, and you look like a freak.’’ Captain Moon pulled at his pipe and scowled around the Brooklyn shipyard from the vivid scarlet, peagreen, ochre and bright yellow with which “The Buccaneer” is regaled. It looks like a club house—or something. Ashore?—Nothin' Doin’ “But she'll keep me on the water,” he continued, his expression brightening. “I’ve tried this life ashore. Won’t do. After you’ve been on the ocean, land’fe distasteful. If you’re young, for a time it’s all right, although land attractions soon wear off. “Yep. Bought me a little home and garden outside Baltimore.

My forebears bared their breasts to British bullets, and that’s why I several times found myself carrying arms to people struggling for freedom. Used Bar on Crew “Some dang fool wrote a story about me once anchoring off Cape Horn. Os ail the rot! And that I made the crew knock the rails off the ship to free her decks of water. More rot!’’ * “But you did use a capstan bar to subdue a mutiny, didn’t you?*’ he was asked. “Well,” Captain Moon admitted, “there was a little fighting and so on. We were out 171 days. But I didn’t make ’em knock the rails off. It's the bulwarks on the well deck that keep the water aboard. “Oh, I’ve seen action. And as-long as I’m able to get around I’ll still be lookin’ for adventure. “So when these folks came along with an offer. I Jumped at It.
