Passengers Warned.

And our passenger begins 10 learn what
the officers on watch had already
learned-that the ship is in n bad way.
And now he heard an order passed to
tell the passengers 10 buckle on the life
belts which they would find In their
rooms. and stewards were already racing
down passageways, pounding doors that
they passed, and calling out:
"Get up and put on lifebelts,"
Our curious passenger. going forward
now. on the main deck. sees that thirty
or forty feet OF the ships bow above
water was crushed. A dozen who were
nearly killed. but better had they been
killed, were lying about They were
croaning some. and saying nothing to
others.
And our curious passenger can mourn
with his fellows for by now the passen-
gers are trying to discover things for
themselves.
Everybody was asking questions OF
everybody else. but nobody was answer
ing. Nobody expected an answer
But most Of the fyins ships people
were making for above-a top deck
where they. began to cut away the can

Did Not Direct Ships Course.

I was never consulted by Captain
Smith nor by any other person nor
did I ever make any suggestions
whatsoever 10 any human being about
the course OF the ship. The Titanic,
as ] am informed. was on the south
ernmost bound track OF s-Atlan-
tic steamships. The tracks, or lanes,
were designated many years ago by
agreement Of all the important steam
ship lines, and all captains of the
White Star line are required TO navi-
gate their vessels as closely as possi-
Bile on these tracks. subject TO the
following standing instructions:
Commanders must distinctly un-
derstand that the issuance of these
regulations does not In any way re-
lievc them from responsibility for the
safe and efficient navigation OF their
respective vessels. and they are also
epjoined to remember that they must
run no risk which might by any poss-
bility result In accident TO their ships
II is to be hoped that they will ever
bear In mind that the safety OF the
lives and property intrusted TO their
care is the ruling principle that should
govern them In the navigation OF
their vessels. and that no supposed
gain in expedition or saving OF time
on the voyage is to be purchased al
the risk OF accident. The company
desires TO maintain for its vessels a
reputation for safety: and only looks
for such speed on the various VOYAGES
as lis consistent with safe and prudent
navigation.

ing whether additional legislation was
required to prevent the recurrence OF
go horrible a disaster

pesred voluntarily without subpoena
and answered all questions put to me
by the members of the committee to
the best OF my ability, with complete
frankness and without reserve. ! did
not suppose the question OF my per-
sonal conduct was the subject Of the
inquiry, although ! was ready to tell
everything I did on the night OF the
collision.

CORRESPONDENCE.
The Unmuffied Motor Boat.

1t seems pity that that which
brings pleasure to some should bring
annoyance and distress to others.
The motor boat Is modern lux
ury of great value, and every right
minded person, although, perhaps not
caring for this sport himself or her
self, will surely find some degree of
pleasure in seeing the merry par
ties speeding over the water, provid-
ed the boats are properly provided
with mufiers. But when this quite
reasonable requirement is neglected
and out over the water resounds the
sharp. penetrating racket Of the ex-
haust, that which might be a plea
annoyance, and in some cases Of
nervous illness, a serious damage.
Perhaps the laws Of Maine do not de-
mand the muffling Of motors, as
those of Massachusetts, do, but it
would seem as IL no law should be
necessary for the relief Of those who
suffer in this matter.
1t seems strange indeed that the
summer visitors to this beautiful
bay, who come, presumably, from
communities where high ideals of
courtesy and consideration for others
prevail, should be willing for the
sake Of the possible slight saving in
expense and effort to so infiict this
annoyance upon those who have no
way Of escape except, indeed, they
abandon their summer homes. OF
course there are some who do not
greatly mind the racket, but there
are many upon this island, and pre-
sumably upon other islands of the
bay whose comfort is entirely des-
troyed for many hours OF the day by
the clatter of the motor boats

1t is most gratifying thing to us
always when We receive reports from
various islands about any form Of
activity displayed by Improvement
Societies around the bay. OF recent
years the interest in these undertak-
ings has been widespread through
out most Of the islands, and It has
been in large measure due to their in
fiuence that the popularity OF Casco
Bay has increased so greatly in the
same period of time. 1t is a signi-
ficant fact that in most OF the islands
in the bay which rank first in popu-
larity with visiting tourists, there
are well organized improvement so
cieties which are performing earnest
and efficient work in the betterment
OF the bay. May all success attend
them.

the incoming stream of passengers,
IT Is really remarkable to notice the
politeness and courtesy and the con-

OF the Casco Bay and Harpswell Line
steamers. This line is far in advance
Of those usually met with at summer
resorts and fully deserves frequent
praise.

Died.

The many friends of Joshua c,
Oliver, a well-known resident of
the New Plymouth country were
very much shocked to hear OF his
sudden death on April Is at the
Soldiers Home in Boise, where he
had gone for medical attention. He
had prepared TO come home the
next day, but while walking about
in the grounds, fell dead of heart
disease. Mr.. Oliver was born in
1914 in Morgan county Ohio, where
with three of his brothers he en-
listed as soldier in the Civil
war. in which he saw long per-
iod OF service. He was married in
1871 to Sarah Elizabeth Clark in
his native state, after which they
went to Nebraska and engaged for
many years in farming and stock
raising. He came to New Ply
mouth in 1904. The deceased
ieaves a family OF ten children,
four OF whom are residents of this
part OF Idaho They are Mrs. Al
len Stegall OF New Plymouth, J.
Carl oliver of Sweet, Mrs. VIII
Long of the Emmett bench, and |
Ross Oliver of New Plymouth His
parents were steadfast Christian
pioneers, and be ore old age came
upon him, he became a membeI of
the Congregational church at Lin
wood. Neb The thought that he
had accepted Christ as his savior
is comforting one to his children
who mourn a most kind and loving
father, and to his many friends,
who miss a helpful and genial COM
panion.
