hsions in which neither vessel was sunk,
as that In which the Celtic and another
White Star steamer were engaged some
time ago-although in many of these
lives were lost
To person who has never been at
sea the dreadful panic which any ac-
cident, even if not serious one, brings
about can hardly be understood, while
real peril is demoralizing to the last
degree.
