Had there been a sufficient num- ber of boats, everybody on board might havo been saved. Had the water-tight bulkheads In the Titanic been kept closed at night, or In heavy ■weather, the Bhip might have been saved. But If the ship bad sailed a safer course, even though it might lengthen the trip somewhat, the accident would not have happened. The perfection of construction was thought to have been reached in our ocean liners, and the absence of serious ac- cident to them for a long time gave rise to tho belief that they were perfectly safe—at least as safe as any other mennB of travel—< but the rivalry amongst the different com- panies has resulted in tbe building of ships of abnormal size, equipped with powerful boilers and engines, which are worked up to the limit of their power In order to scale down the running time a few hours between Europe and America. It was this desire to save a little time that caused the Titanic to take the northern (or short) course on Iter maiden trip, a course which expert mariners tell us would be absolutely dan- gerous ten days hence. It Is Inconceivable why a floating palace, representing millions of dollars, and freighted with over two thou- sand priceless lives, Bhould have been per- mitted to run the slightest risk that could be avoided. Water-tight bulkheads will doubtlcBB keep a nhlp afloat, if they are kept securely closed, and why they arc allowed to bo open until an accident actually hap- pens, Is mysterious, particularly when tho closlpg of these bulkheads Is dependent upon complicated machinery which the accident may render inoperative. The answer to all these reflections Is contained in the fact that the uccldcnt was never expected to happen; tbe sense of security In ocean travel was so great that risks were Incurred that bad been often taken before, and which probably would have continued to be taken. It Is always so In every walk of life, and remedies do not come until a calamity, more or lesa dreadful, makes them Imperative. What- ever might have been done, and no matter whoso fault It Is, it docs not lessen tho anguish of those who are mourning the loss ot loved oncB wboBc bodies arc now in tho depths of the relentless sea. ■ «■» NEW THEATRE FOR NEW BEDFORD.
