ONE WAY OF LOOKING At 1T.

The recent quick time made by several
steamships belonging TO rival lines across
the Atlantic has called out remarks from
the press, nearly all of them OF COM
mending and encouraging nature. The
owners Of the steamer are applauded, the
steamer itself is made famous. the event |
is chronicled from Maine TO California, |
and rival lines with slower moving craft |
are jeered at and ridiculed. One journal
says, "the rivals of the White Star line
of steamers must wake up, or they will
find themselves regarded much as an en-
gine-driver regards an old stage coach"
This sentence was but the giving voice
to popular sentiment. But, on taking a
retrospective view, what do wo see in

pitiless rocks of Sambro Head New

these steamers went down the world re-

show that the rate Of speed should be

held subservient to due regard for
