ured off exactly ss2-6 feet in a straight
line on Pearl street He used one Of the
charts in the office showing the lengths
Of the gas mains which are as nearly ae-
curate as surveyors measurements can
make. The distance reaches from the
south side Of Broadway TO exactly the
center Of the steps at the public library
building. Those familiar with this
distance can easily realize the enormous
magnitude Of the ship and can readily
understand how those In the stern OF the
vessel could have felt so little Of the
shock that caused the disaster. Measured
on broadway the distance Is from the
Methodist church to within a few feet Of
Glen avenue and on Washington avenue
from the west side Of North First street
to the east line Of Oakland avenue.
