voyage mny set ont with the conviction that
hfe-l'reservers, under tho present system Of
using them, aro utterly useless The reason
Of this is plain enough to everybody who has
been at sea. Diaastors occur at night, or in
dense fog, or towering storm,-very rarely
in the light Of dny. There Is usually no
warning. Tho ship strikes tho rock, or conaa
In collision with another vessel or an iceberg,
ind tho shock is lilo that Of m earthquake or
| an oxplosion, sudden, unexpected, nnl ter-
rifying.. The result is panic. The selfish
ness OF human nature Is developed in oil its
intensity ; the instinct Of preservation
ASSERTS itaelf over every idea Of duty. Mon
! lose their heads and women their hearts, antl
there il rush and scramble without thought
or teason. Tho sailors aro tic first at tue
ljfs.boats. They frequently dump then,
OYER wrong end first, mud two or
three boata arc lost before ono is fairly
aaoat. Two or three moro aro usually
swasmped BY overcrowding. Tho sailors got off
! with QUO, and tho great minority Of the pas
sengers aTo loft to tho untenler mercies Of a
| sinking ship In surrounding darkness, di-
! vested Of every life-saving apparatus with
which the vessel wna provided, ond without
courage or experience. This IL Il fair picture
Of tue sceua.
Now where hava the iifo-preservers 1eon
all this time7 Swinging quietly from their
fastenings over the hunls below, nnthought
| Of until they were beyond tue reach of tho
! nnfortunates who Ind left them behind,
This is tho reason why life-presorvors are
| practically useless. They nro Invariably
placed In location whero they ARE beyond
| reaeh Ut tho time they are thought Of. When
tho shock Of the disaster comes 1t Is tho irro-
aiatib1o impulse Of ovcry man md woman
in tho chbin to rash upon deck, to
reach tho highest point In the ship.
This impulse to ruBh up is as
| strong on shipboard In titno Of accident
| M ID tho impulse to rusll out Of a theatro or
church in time Of fire. No ono pauscs for
anything, and Inst Of Ill for life-prescrvor.
The life~presorver is not thought Of until tho
deck is reached, and tho panic-stricken crowd
begins to appreciate tho small nl.arca Of es-
capo by boats. It Is thon too lata to seek tile
cabin. The hold ia probably full Of watert
and no ono darea to return to gropo about in
dark and narrow Passages in the rising water
in Rearoh Of life-prcsorver; aud thus, with
