TIE BATTLES OF THE OCEAN.

Stories Of peril. adventure and herolSm have
been uncommonly numerous in the newspapers
on both sides Of the Atlantic in recent weeks.
Not for many year has the ocean which sepa-
rates Europe from the eastern coast OF America
heen so storm tossed in January, February and
March as II has been in the first year or TINS
century Tempests OF violence almost incred-
ible have been raging week after week, ana
the stateliest and most majestic Of vessels have
been buffeted 10 and fro 10y wave and gale as
II they were no more imposing and massive
than the caravels of the little fleet Of Columbus
which crossed the sea more than four hundred
years ago.
II Is the chorus Of the shippers of all sorts OF
craft. big and little. that the Atlantic has not
ragged more wildly in long series OF winters
than il has been boiling and seething since the
new year of 1901 dawned. The logs OF the
commanders and the reports of passengers aIke
make il indisputable that the first three months
Of this year have been times Of the seVereS'
trial TO every class of shipping on the Atlantic
Coast or over sea. II has been marvellous
warfare of human skill and courage and mas
tery of resources against the destructive FORCES
which nature can muster when aroused.
And II is cause for congratulation that the
loss Of life has been small chiefly because the
brave men who sail the ocean craft have been
so strong and resoute The world goes ror-
ward steadily It's progress may not always ne
dazzling but il advances surely. although some
times slowly And in nothing more thah III
navigation and the capacity to meet every pos
sible hazard Of the sea is the onward movement
surer and more substantial. What record OF
rescues. at any risk and in the face of the
most appalling of dangers. there has been on
coast ard In midOcean in the last few months!
The sea heroes of peace are the peers OF the
champions Of war.
