"The steward is the Captain's servant, and has charge of the pantry, from which everyone, including the mate, is excluded. These distinctions usually find him an enemy in the mate, who does not like to have anyone on board who is not entirely under his control; the crew do not consider him one of their number, so he is left to the mercy of the Captain." Two Years Before the Mast - By Richard Dana Jr.
