TRAGEDY OF ST. LAWRENCE
RIVER.
The sinking of the Empress of Ire
land is not so dramatic a disaster
nor so costly in human ' lives and
treasure as the foundering of the
Titanic, but the horror of the tragedy
of the St. Lawrence River scarcely
yields to that of the tragedy of the
Newfoundland seas, says an ex
change. ,
The terror of this catastrophe is
intensified by the fact that the Can
adian Pacific boat appears from
testimony at hand to have done
, everything humanly possible to pre
vent mischief, whereas the White
Star ship courted catastrophe, that
the Empress of Ireland sank within
15 minutes or less and that an ex
plosion of the boilers, ice waters and
almost freezing temperature made it
impossible for those who reached the
decks to have any fair chance to
survive.
. The calamity illustrates again the
impossibility of absolute prevention
