IGEBERG HIBI FOR DOOMED SUCH IS SUGGESTION ADVANCED BV "OLD SILT" La' Grnude Man Who Sailed tbo Seas ' ,' Comments on Wreck. " v La Grande, April 22. To Editor Ob serversWill you allow "ine a little space In which to ask a question and offer a remark or two on the loss of the S. S. Tilanlc? 'Among all the varying reports and crltclsms so far offered through : the press, no one has given any informa tion about' the iceberg. ' " . What became of the iceberg? It did not sink and in all probability that Iceberg was capable of floating 10,000 people or more.' Seems; strange that no one among all that number of men thought of clinging to 'that floating Is land for safety. ' ;' ';. '' ' Perhaps some may sneer at the Idea of landing on an Iceberg for safety. But I can assure you there is nothing absurd about It, nor woul 1 there be any very great danger con nected therewith. I ought to be fair ly well acquainted with icebergs, hav ing spent quite a little time in the frozen regions, and had the, pleasure (?) ' of witnessing the manufacturng of icebergs ' and having had to pilot among them and watch for them hun dreds of times in crossing the Atlanr tic ocean in different kinds of vessel 3 during a period of one-third of a cen tury.' ';'" ' - ,';' , ''';'-:,::''- I have do wish to criticise . anyone connected with that ill-fated ship. But this I know, that vigilance, eternal unceasing vigilance is the price of safety in crossing the Atlantic ocean or any other ocean, for that matter'.' I also know that the Titanic should not have ben allowed to strike an iceberg i As to' who was to blame 'we will an swer that question later. As regardu the number of lifeboats she carried, some wise (?) men say there was not enough of them, etc.. ; , . ; . But - it !s not possible for a ship carrying from 2,000 to 4,000 peoplu. either to carry or safely handle a suC ficlent number of lifeboats to take all hands off, if the ship, sinks. - The Titanic no doubt could without crowding, accommodate 4,000 people and to save all these in lifeboats would require . onehundred ' boats. Where are we going to Btand all these Boats on a ship? arid how are you go ing to launch them in a hurry? If ships like the Titanic could carry b half dozen boats capable of carrying 500 or 600 people each, and each fill ted with propellor and gasoline en gine, it might be possible to save all hands In boats, provided the ship had on her upper deck a traveling crane of sufficient power to lift such boats and swing them clear of the ship into the ocean. But who was to blame for the T! tanic's loss? Well, in the second place, the captain waB tD blame. N Instructions, no man-made rules can ever destroy the discretionary powe vested in him with regard to the prop erty and the lives entrusted to his care, and nothing could excuse his ab sence from the-bridge after dark, when In the vicinity of ice, fog or no fog. But as 1 remarked he is only to blame in the second place. The blame in the first place rests on Uncle Sam. Yes, sir. The American government and the British government are joint ly to blame for the loss of that shi) and for all other ships that have foun dered from a like cause, during tho last 50 years. : How? Why, for allow in the iceberes to be there. Anions all those great men who are now sit ting in judgment on the dead captain of the Titantlc surely someone amous them will be able to see the. posslbll ity of preventing icebergs from cors sing the tracks of steamers, and spreading death across the principal highway of the nations. . It Is high time that these two nations 1 joined forces to either annihilate these ice bergs before they cross the latitude of Cape Race or else light them with! wireless electricity. There is nothing Impossible about it, It Is" simply a question of energy and money, and no matter what John Bull may think oi. the subject we know that Amcrisa can boast of one man at least, with brain enough and will power enough. to grapple the problem and solve it before another Titanic' loss brings o.
