ing horseshoe nail th a t cost a monarch
his kingdom, the failu re to provide
binoculars or spyglasses for the look
outs on the T ita n ic was one co n trib u t
ing cause o f the sh ip ’s loss and w ith it
the loss of m ore th an 1600 lives.
Two w itnesses before the senate in
v e stig a tin g com m ittee agreed on this.
They w ere F rederick Fleet, a lookout
on the liner, and M ajor A rth u r God
frey Peuchen, Canadian m anufacturer
and yachtsm an, who was among the
rescued passengers.
F le et acknowledged th a t if he had
been aided in his observations by a
good glass he probably could have
spied the berg in tim e to w arn the
bridge to avoid it.
M ajor Peuchen
also testified [ t o the much g re a te r
sw eep of jvision afforded by binocu
lars, and, as a yachtsm an, said he be
lieved the presence of the iceberg
m ig h t have been detected in tim e to
escape the collision had the lookout
men been so equipped.
It]_was m ade to [appear th a t the
blam e for being w ithout glasses did
not rest^w ith th e lookout men. F le et
said they had asked for the glasses a t
Southam pton and w ere told there were
none for them . One glass, in a pinch,
would have served in the crow ’s nest.
M ajorJPeuchen condemned in strong
term s the lack o f experienced sailors
on board th e T itanic.
H e said th a t
when the call to q u a rte rs w as sounded
not enough of th e crew responded to
undertake the w ork required in lower
ing and filling the boats.
F urtherm ore, he said, no drills had
been held from the tim e the ship le ft
Southam pton, although it was custom
ary to hold such d rills every Sunday.
“ H e rb ert J . P ittm a n , third officer of
the T itanic, told of his fa ilu re to tu rn
back the life b o at in which he and his
passengers w ere idly d riftin g to a t
tem p t the rescue o f others when the
T itan ic w ent down.
Shuddering a t th e recollection, he
said th e cries for help made “ one long
continuous m o an .”
The passengers
insisted th a t to go back to aid them
would m ean th e ir destruction, he said,
so th a t a fte r s ta rtin g in the direction
of the cries, he rescinded his orders
and w aited for dawn.
Twice he
begged to be spared a recital of the
facts, b u t Senator Sm ith pressed him.
The w itness said the moans and cries
continued an hour and th a t he made
no effort to go to the rescue.
“ You d rifte d n e ar the drowning
people and m ade no effort to give
them a id ? ” asked Senator Sm ith in
surprise. “ Please, sir, don’t , ” pleaded
P itm an. “ I can ’t b ear to recall it. I
w ish we m ig h t not discuss the scene.”
“ I have no desire to lacerate your feel
in g s,” said Senator Sm ith, “ but we
m ust know w h eth er you d rifte d there
w ith o u t offering aid.
A nsw er th a t
and I shall press you no m ore.”
“ I did, s i r ,” answ ered the w itness.
“ Did you ev er h ear anything o f a
boat known as the H ellig O lav?” sud
denly asked Senator Sm ith.
“ No, I did not. T here m ay be a
boat by th a t nam e.”
The Olav docked a t New York April
17, and is reported to have encounter
ed an iceberg near w here the T itanic
sank. I t has been suggested th a t the
Olav m ay have been the boat whose
lig h ts F ourth Officer Boxhal) saw and
w hich he ineffectually trie d to signal
w ith distress rockets.
By searching questions, S enator
F le tc h e r
brought o u t
the
fa c t
th a t when the collision occurred the
T ita n ic was going a t the g re a te s t
speed a tta in e d during th e trip , even
though the ship was e n te rin g Grand
B anks and had been advised of the
presence o f ice.
“ You say you were going a t 21$
knots an hour a t the tim e of the acci
d e n t? ” inquired Senator F letcher.
“ Yes, sir.
We le ft Southam pton
under about 20$ knots, which was in
creased to 21 and later to 21$,” said
Pitm an.
“ Then, when the T ita n ic crashed
into the iceberg it w as going a t top
speed?” inquired the senator.
“ I suppose so, s ir .”

Ask your doctor how often
he prescribes an alcoholic
stimulant for children. He
will probably say, “ Very,
very ^rarely.” Ask him how
often he prescribes a tonic for
them. He will probably an

Then ask him about Ayer’s

safe tonic for the young. Not
a drop of alcohol in it.
