Both captain and crew agreed that James was a peacemaker, and that he carried out his purpose without making enemies. Thorough and prompt in everything, and unwilling to be a party to any wrong doing, he was regarded as a model worthy of imitation by all who knew him. BOTH CAPTAIN AND CREW AGREED THAT JAMES WAS A PEACEMAKER AND THAT HE CARRIED OUT HIS PURPOSE WITHOUT MAKING ENEMIES THOROUGH AND PROMPT IN EVERYTHING AND UNWILLING TO BE A PARTY TO ANY WRONG DOING HE WAS REGARDED AS A MODEL WORTHY OF IMITATION BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM
listened willingly to the kind advice which he found so hard to follow. When speaking of James to one of the crew, Harry said, "Jim is a great fellow. I should like to see what sort of a man he will make. The way he rakes me down on whisky, tobacco, and swearing is a caution, and he does not say a word that is not true. I like him, though. I always like a man to show his colours." All through life it was the same. No matter where he was, or in what circumstances he was placed, James Garfield always showed his colours, and he was never afraid to nail them to the mast. Therefore the ignorant, drunken crew not only respected the lad who so boldly reproved them, but boasted of the companionship of one so unlike themselves. Said the steersman to the bowman of another boat, "We have a fellow in our crew who never drinks, smokes, chews, swears, nor fights; but he's a jolly good fellow, strong as a lion, could lick any of us if he has a mind to, and a first-rate worker. I never saw such a boy.
