E. J, Smith, er of the fl-inted Titanie, went down' to death with that vessel and its priceless cargo of lives last Monday morging, one more name was added to the long roll of marine heroes who have subweribed to the unwritten law of tie seassthat the captain shall not desert his ship while another human being remains on bosrd.

Capt. Louis Deloncle, when that vessel went to the bettom ! with 535 souls on July 4th, 1888, another hero whose evvrage will al- ways be remembered. It was especially | noteworthy in his case beesuse of the | alleged cowardly manner in whieh | many of the men under him behaved. | Following a collision with the steam- south of Sable lsland the Bourgogne went down not far from the spot now occupied bi the Titanic. In the confusion which followed the crash it was charged that many of the qrew lost their heads and beat the wo. men und children away from the life boats in their afiorts to get to safety. About two hundred passengers were saved and many" of them testified to seeing members of the crew using their career of almost bali a century had reached a fitting close. with his vessel is the supreme test of courage for every true sailor, and few are the instances Where commanders have lacked of that%ourage.

With thousands of lives and millions in properly entristed to their eare every trip, they have to have the mental and physical equip: ment 10 meet every emergency. Few men are called upon to shoulder such tremendous respouvibilities, and they are pretty wear perfect in every de- partment before they are given the change by the big steamship compan- ies, In addition to serving long ap- prenticeship in every hranch of the operating service, the captain "has to have a thorough knowledge of the vessel under his command. { He has to be a man of many parts, equally at home 'n the first cabin | tne encine roosd, in the smoking room jor exyfaintng the nautical terms: to some of kis fair passengers.

No one knew better than Captain Smith that the 'Iftanic had received her death wound and that in a few hours she wold be testing on the bottom, but he sinck to his post and eat down with flying colors, Strange as it may seem there = are many men who envy him his tragic end. These are men who formerly commanded ocean steamsitps or large vessels of some sort and © who forfdt- ed thelr master certificates for some error of 'jndgment, the commander of a stwamship rardly geiting a chance td mike more than one mistake.

The Bourgogne's cargo was worth $300,000, and its loss was considered ta Preat oné at that time. The cargo that went down with the Titame was worth at least $10,000,000 has years, Captain Von Goessel, of the staam- ship Elbe, of the North German Lloyd, was on the bridge on that vessel when she went down with 330 passengers, following a collision with ithe steam. ship Craithie, off the coast of England, January 30, 1805. One of the greatest disagtoth of re cent years ! was the sinking of the Norge, a Danish emigrant steamship, on Wednesday, June 20th, 1904. of the 800 passengers only [twenty seven were saved when the vessél weni to the bottom a short time alter going to pieces on 'the Roekall rocks in the North Atlantic. -Captain tJ, V.
