Two hundred and twen- ty-two first cabin passengers—all the boat can commodate—sailed, There had been a rush for bookings on Ros- tron's ship, so the Cunard people said, the minute the lime light began to play on him, An hour before the Carpathia’s sailing the dock was crowded, and pretty girls in filmy, summer frocks formed a large part of the throng, Many of them smiled thelr way up the gangway and to the sacred precincts of the bridge.
