ORGAN ROBERTSON, author
of sea stories. wrote a fiction
story fourteen years ago that

story fourteen years ago that
was wonderfully prophetic of
the wreck of the Titanic The story
becomes Of great interest at this time
when the Titanic disaster is the lead
ing topic Of the entire world
Mr.. Robertsons story is entitled THE
Wreck of the Titan" The Titan. in
the story, is the worlds largest and
most palatial vessel. 1t is supposed to
be unsuitable and indestructible. but
1t is wrecked by an iceberg in the
month of April when speeding along
the northern lane route Of the Atlantic.
The wreck occurs in about the same
place that the Titanic disaster occur
red. There are not sufficient lifeboats
and RATS to take off the wrecked pas
sengers. and the greater part of the
1000 souls aboard the Titan are lost
There are many other remarkable
and startling condolences between the
wreck Of the Titan, the largest steam
ship of the world Of fiction. and the
wreck of the Titanic. the largest steam
ship of the material world.

imagination. The son of an old skip

at sixteen. made voyage in the fo'cas-
tie to Singapore and for seven years
led the life Of sailor. He never rose
above the position Of mate. and finally.
wearying Of the sea, he apprenticed
himself to matchmaker and learned
all branches of the jewelers. business.
After this he took to writing.
AS no one who has ever read his sto-
ries can fail to understand. Mr.. Rob

and his love for this life may truly be
said to be inherited, as his father, An

While the small hat is the leading

be becoming, especially in black, and
