the weather and the animals to make
a depot here and return. We left
more than ton of stores at this point

which should be great help to us
this season. We then returned to our
Base Camp with dog teams.

Baltic. the Adriatic. the Olympic and
the Titanic, all of the White Star
fleet.
How many life boats do you think
the Titanic had? Well. l should judge
that the boat had about forty large
size life boats. twelve life RATS or
p%ontoons and possibly twenty-four
canvass boats. These boats have
crews Of about six men and will hold
about twenty-five persons besides the
crow. Each life boat is supplied with
sufficient fresh water and bareback to
last ten days. The boats are also
equipped with sails, compass, aid need
les. hatchets and SO forth. 1t takes
about three minutes to load and lower
these boats. They are equipped with
air tanks and ride the sea nicely.
THE International rules for fire and
boat drill call for a complete drill once
a trip. However, this drill is not made
after the boat is out on the ocean. but
is made in port when the crews are
changed which happens frequently.
At the time of a fire or accident Of
any kind the alarm is spread by the
repeated ringing Of bells and by men,
hers of the crew who run to warn the
passengers.
Yes. sir. if the Titanic was travel
ing at the rate Of twenty-three knots
an hour she was going about twenty
five miles an hour. The nautical mile
Is equivalent to one and one-eighth
mile ashore or $3.50 feet.

jealousy. Mr.. Button left on the

they will be inferred.
