            positive, implying a right to enforce obedience;
            directions are commands containing instructions how to
            act. Order conveys more prominently the idea of
            authority than the word direction. A shipmaster has
            the command of his vessel; he gives orders or
            directions to the seamen as to the mode of sailing it;
            and exercises a due control over the passengers.
