	Captain Abstraction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Captain Abstraction is the champion of the principles of abstraction and modularity.
		Captain Abstraction's first recorded appearance was in a recitation section of MIT course 6.001 (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs) in Fall, 1986.
		The Captain's purple (sometimes blue) outfit is complemented by a fiery red cape, mask, and lambda symbol emblazoned on his chest.

	San Francisco History - Seventy-five Years in San Francisco, Chapters 59 to 61.
		During this trial Captain Paty ordered the chain cable moved from the bow to midships, and the sailors shifted it with great alacrity, entering into the spirit of the occasion as sailors always do when their own vessel is put to a test.
		Captain Paty and his officers were accustomed to a little wine at dinner and, after tasting the Vignes wine, they found it so agreeable that they could not resist drinking of it while on the voyage.
		Captain Paty and I presented Commodore Jones at Monterey some of this identical wine as being superior to anything else that could be procured for the purpose.

	Persuasion -- Chapter 11
		Captain Harville had taken his present house for half a year, his taste, and his health, and his fortune all directing him to a residence unexpensive, and by the sea; and the grandeur of the country, and the retirement of Lyme in the winter, appeared exactly adapted to Captain Benwick's state of mind.
		Captain Benwick looked and was the youngest of the three, and, compared with either of them, a little man. He had a pleasing face and a melancholy air, just as he ought to have, and drew back from conversation.
		Captain Benwick listened attentively, and seemed grateful for the interest implied; and though with a shake of the head, and sighs which declared his little faith in the efficacy of any books on grief like his, noted down the names of those she recommended, and promised to procure and read them.

	Space, Abstraction and Freedom
		The muted harmony of gray and brown in Captain’s Watch is accented primarily by a brash pink “figure” at the top, an homage to Abstract Expressionist gestural painting.
		Overall, Captain’s Watch is a compendium of the ways that paint can behave: hard edges, soft edges, one color dragged across another, one color flowing through another, and color applied as if the brush were a pencil drawing lines.
		But of course it is the captain who is ultimately responsible for the ship, and if he is standing watch he is doubly responsible.

	Actions and Reactions - Rudyard Kipling - Free Online Library
		Captain Purnall is not the suave man we left half an hour since, but the embodied authority of the G.P.O. Ahead of us floats an ancient, aluminum-patched, twin-screw tramp of the dingiest, with no more right to the 5000-foot lane than has a horse-cart to a modern road.
		Captain Purnall wrenches open the colloid to talk with him man to man. There are times when Science does not satisfy.
		Captain Hodgson opens the underbody colloid, swings the heavy pithing-iron out of its rack which in liners is generally cased as a smoking-room settee, and at two hundred feet releases the catch.

	[No title]
		Captain Jorgan had to look high to look at it, for the village was built sheer up the face of a steep and lofty cliff.
		That done, the captain put his hand in the deep breast-pocket of his long-skirted blue coat, and took out of it a strong square case-bottle,--not a large bottle, but such as may be seen in any ordinary ship's medicine-chest.
		A glance at this stranger assured the captain that he could be no other than the Seafaring Man; and the captain was about to hail him as a fellow-craftsman, when the two stood still and silent before the captain, and the captain stood still, silent, and wondering before them.

	Aurora Floyd A Novel by M. E. Braddon : Arthur's Classic Novels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Captain Bulstrode had served in India, and had once tasted a horrible spirit called bang, which made the men who drank it half-mad; and he could not help fancying that the beauty of this woman was like the strength of that alcoholic preparation -- barbarous, intoxicating, dangerous, and maddening.
		Aurora and her cousin, Percy Floyd, the young Etonian, had gone down the steps, and were admiring Captain Bulstrode's thorough-bred bays, and the captain was not a little distracted by the picture the group made in the moonlight.
		Here was a golden opportunity lost, thought the discontented captain, forgetful that he could scarcely have proposed to Miss Floyd at the dinner-table, amid the jingle of glasses and popping of corks, and with a big powdered footman charging at him with a side-dish or a sauce-tureen while he put the fatal question.

	The History of Rock Music. Captain Beefheart: biography, discography, reviews, links
		The distance between Captain Beefheart and the rest of rock music is the same distance that there was between Beethoven and the symphonists of his time.
		Don Van Vliet, known in musical circles as Captain Beefheart, is one of the most original and important musicians of the twentieth century.
		Captain Beefheart's influence on alternative rock and the new wave of the 80s has been matched only by the Velvet Underground.

	Aurora Floyd A Novel by M. E. Braddon : Arthur's Classic Novels
		The captain knew that he was more respected than beloved, and, like all proud men who repel the warm feelings of others in utter despite of themselves, he was grieved and wounded because his comrades did not become attached to him.
		He had not taken much notice of Lucy Floyd on the night of the ball; indeed, Lucy was scarcely a candle-light beauty; her hair wanted the sunshine gleaming through it to light up the golden halo about her face, and the delicate pink of her cheeks waxed pale in the glare of the great chandeliers.
		Captain Bulstrode was not any better pleased when, strolling a little farther on, the party met with Archibald Floyd, who had come out to look for his daughter.

		Captain T'Lara was correct in assuming the three officers were a good team to work on this problem; their areas of expertise complemented one other's very well.
		Or perhaps the captain had, and was sufficiently prescient to recognize Motiki would prove effective at diffusing this tension.
		As Janeway summarized their simulation results, she noted that the captain's expression, while not properly a smile, was as indicative of satisfaction as a Vulcan's visage could be.

		To this amiable trait, and his riotous good-fellowship, the Captain is indebted for his great popularity among a certain class of his fellow citizens--that is, the class composed of the individuals with whom he divides the bank bills, and holds his wild nocturnal revelries.
		Captain Simon Suggs has his; and he clings to it with a pertinacity that defies, alike the suggestions of reason, and the demonstrations of experience.
		Captain Suggs bobbed his head at the company, as much as to say, "I knew it;" and the crowd in their own minds, decided that the ci-devant General Witherspoon was "a devilish sharp old cock"--and the crowd wasn't far out of the way.

	artnet.com Magazine Reviews - Abstraction and the Body (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		But in fact, abstraction has a long-standing relationship with the body, which might even be considered the first artistic medium -- as is well demonstrated by the latest blockbuster at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, "Body Art: Marks of Identity," Nov. 20, 1999-May 29, 2000.
		As Captain Cook and other 19th-century explorers of the South Pacific discovered, men in the Marquesas Islands tattooed their entire bodies (faces and hands included) with geometric designs that look a bit like abstract sea creatures.
		If we can talk at all about an intersection between body art and modern abstraction, it would be in the boundlessness that full-body tattooing or painting shares with the allover painting of Abstract Expressionists like Jackson Pollock.

	A Message from the Sea (5)
		Captain Jorgan, up and out betimes, had put the whole village of Lanrean under an amicable cross-examination, and was returning to the King Arthur’s Arms to breakfast, none the wiser for his trouble, when he beheld the young fisherman advancing to meet him, accompanied by a stranger.
		Tregarthen took the captain by the hand, and gave his hand to each of the young men, but positively and finally answered No. He said, they trusted to his word, and he was glad of it, and at rest in his mind; but there was no proof, and the money must remain as it was.
		The captain, instead of paying that rapt attention to his steward which was rendered by the other three persons present, went to Church again, in respect of the steward’s hat.

		This captain had just informed the minister that he did not see what difference there could be, to a modern Christian, between keeping the seventh-day Sabbath of the "Jewish" tradition and keeping any other day of the week.

		In other words, we should theoretically assume that they were correct in the way they considered their captain as "just an abstract principle", "a spiritual idea", nothing more.

		Instead, the Training Band was more of a democratic assembly in which the captain freely asked the advice of older veterans, and everyone stood by the captain's decisions once they were made.
