Public Blamed By Nixon

New York, April Especially y
Lewis Nixon. one of the foremost
American shipbuilders. when asked
what lessons. if any. might be drawn
from the Titanic disaster, said: The
one great lesson is that men who go
down 10 he sea in ships take risks"
Nixon eaid that e any one was to

more than One-tenth of the passengers
would lave booked passage? Suppose
you were going abroad. Would you
take a ship sailing by the longer or
southern course when you could get
one that went over the shorter north

TO Nixon. Il was 40 reflection upon

he maintained, that the largest ship
yet built should have gone TO the bot

construction went. he said, the Titanic

the shock Of collision than any OF
the smaller transatlantic liners.

FIRE IN THE HOLD.
Vessels at Sea Are Often Smoldefing
Furnaces Below Decks.

Smoldering fires on board ship are
common enough and in many cases
are comparatively harmless They arise
mostly from spontaneous combustion
caused by piling large quantities of
coal in close quarters.
1t is said on excellent authority that
there is not much danger from such
fire, hardly any on an iron or a steel
ship. The first protective measure in
such an event Is to exclude the air. so
that the fire can only smolder. Then
the bunker is flooded with water, which
usually serves to extinquish it
Even in wooden ships the danger
from smoldering fire is not half so
great as has been pictured by nom
Seagoing folk. This is illustrated by
the experience of the captain of the
Twin Brothers, engaged some years
ago in the wheat trade between San
Francisco and Liverpool. The vessel
was returning from Liverpool with a
| thousand tons of coal in the hold as
ballast. Just after it rounded Cape
Horn it was discovered that the coal
| was on fire.
There was a steam pump on board,
md after closing the lower matches
| the crew flooded the hold until the
! ship had settled about four feet low
er in the water. Then the captain
I stood pat and let her burn. No one
/ was frightened, and every one was con-
/ fident that the ship would be safely
brought into port. Call was made at
Valparaiso for fresh water and pro-
/ visions. but not a man deserted.
The vessel was seventy-two days in
reaching San Francisco from the Horn,
and all that time the coal burned, and
little streams of smoke could be seen
coming through the cracks III the deck.
Arriving at San Francisco. the Twin
Brothers sailed out on the mud fats
and was flooded until she settled al
most even with her upper deck. This
extinguished the fire.
The appearance Of the vessel after
all this was pretty fair evidence what
a ship may sustain in the way Of a
fire. In dozen places the bottom had
burned through. and all that was be-
tween the crew and the deep sea was
the thin sheet of copper bottom. The

shipbuilding af1oat. There was nothing
radically different about her construc-
ton. She was bigger and better able
to withstand the strongest gales than
most of the ships of the Atlantic"
Not only does Nixon regard big ships
as more seaworthy than the smaller
ones, but he maintains that the lead
ing companies will continue to build
them, because of the greater econo-
my in operation. There was practi-
cally no limit to the size of the trans
atlantic liner, Nixon said, so far as
the shipbuilder was concerned. and a
vessel eight times as large as the
Titanic would require only four times
as much power For that reason the
companies would tend to build larger
ships until the limit of harbor capac-
+ ity is reached, or some ether means of
landing passengers and cargo is de-
vised

according to Nixon. a matter of senti-

by the Titanic undoubtedly complied
with the law" said he, land if there is
to be any criticism, it should be criti-

Beavers when they have been undis-
