Think again. Does the fact that the Titanic has been dashed to destruction against Heaven knows what stupendous forces prove that all big steamers are vain?

Let us never lament that it is useless to build tall and square because earthquakes level everything! A strong, brave man is no fess strong and brave because a bolt of lightning strikes him down. In the Titanic, man put forward the utmost product of his ex- perience, cleverness and etrength. And with one touch of an icy finger Nature struck it out of his hande forever! Has it ever been otherwise? Yet day by dey man counts his victories along the line. —— ALL RIGHTS SAVE THE RIGHT.
