New York. April Is, 1912.
Dear Mayor-What was the Titanic
doing up among the Ice when She
had the whole Atlantic ocean south
open and free? This is the root OF
the matter. Passenger steamships
should be compelled to keep far south
below the range of icebergs at all
seasons. Jifeboats arc secondary to
this vital requirement. Yours,

Dear Nr. Carnegie-As usual you

the iccbergs, and being there they
should hsve stopped. The question

ers. Sincerely yours,

with all the courage he possessed.

Then he ran to chest of drawers
