A tale OF SEA AND Shore
MANS Inhumanity to Man
Makes Countless Thousands Mourn

There have been shipwrecks more
disastrous than that of the liner La
Burgoyne. But never was there n ship
wreck with such scenes of unexampled
horror. The crew of the ship crowded
the boats. Weak women were tramplcd
under foot in the selfish struggle to
escape. And when the fast falling
swimmers reached imploring hands to-
ward the boats they were stunned by
blow from an oar or manned by the
slash of q sword.
The inhumanity is heightened to our
view by the tragic surroundings, by the
mass Of men and women whose cling
ing fingers were wrenched away from
the boat that was their one hope of
life. We think the spectacle unique in
human history. Yet as a matter of fact
something like this scene is being en-
acted every day upon the shore in
stead of on the sea.
Think of such a case as this. A poor
victim Of disease who has spent money
in vain on physicians. He feels that
his days are numbered. He looks
eagerly about for some sign of hope or
