as absolutely safe, until the disas-
ter to the Titanic.
To find the beginnings of sea lanes
of travel, you must go far back to the
beginning of things, to the days when
men first ventured on the sea and
pushed timorously from cape to cape,
anchoring by night and rarely sailing
out of sight of land. The Phoenician
mariners, who sent their galleys
up to Ireland for cargoes of tin, were
among the first to map out recognized
routes for sea commerce, and one
cannot resist a deep respect for their
daring in thus exploring a way that
their ancestors must have looked upon
with wholly superstitious dread.
In the ancient world, 1t Is true, the
ocean lanes were not many. Princi-
pal among them were the several
courses from the Pillars of Hercules,
either along the African coast, via
Carthage, or the coasts Of Gaul, Italy,
and Greece, and so on, to the com
mon base Of all, the ports of Asia
Minor, where the commerce Of the
ancient world met and was sifted and
then redistributed on its way to thou
sand smaller marts. Countless less
important routes branched out from
these, carried them on or projected
into limited areas of water, surround
ed by large populations which had a
commerce of their own. In every case
the paths of the trading galleys were
invariably the same. The middle Of
the Mediterranean was probably sell
dom furrowed outside Of the few
tracks pursued by vessels travelling
from one side Of it to the other, say
from Carthage or Alexandria to Ath-
ems or Rome. Men crept along the
coasts or rowed uncertainty from
island to island, unless they could not
help themselves.
And 1t is strangely true that nowa-
much greater in number, so incompar-
ably far-flung in character, the same
general conditions hold good IN the
grander scale that has been assumed.
The waters of the world-or that por-
ton Of it which is to any extent in
h~abited-are cr~iss-crossed in every d.
rection by innumerable paths followed
by vessels, both sail and steam; but
it is still possible to find wide areas
in which a sail or a steamships smoke
are not sighted for months on end.
What vessel blown into the middle Of
the vast tract in the South Atlantic,
roughly delimited by the routes fol-
lowed by vessels from North Ameri-
can ports to Gibraltar, and by the
course of ships from the South Ameri-
can ports bound for Europe, would
have any logical hope of assistance?

that village to a Chicago mail order

a reply that there was no foundation
for such a statement, although what is
considered large amount of business
