In the poem where the Four Evangelists are likened to the maneuvering watch on a ship- if one assumes this is taken ( in tandem) then Matthew is the Officer of the Deck, directing operations- Mark ( possiby from Mark Twain) the quartermaster or steerman, and Luke and John are what the Navy calls commissary stewards- of the liquid variety- the punch line of the poem being- One to Watch, One to Steer, and two to fetch a Can of Beer!
