second officer to give the major writ

Puechen displayed this order to some cf
his friends SO as to make it plain that it
was at the demand of the ships officers
that he undertook the assignment
Just as the major was about to leave
in the life boat, his old friend Charles NJ
Hays, of the Grand Trunk, came I'D and
said good bye. Mr.. Hays had no idea
according to Major Puechen. that the
ship would sink soon as it did. but be-
lieved that help would be at hand SUI
ficient to care for all before the vessel
went down.
Mr.. Hays remarked to the major that
the boat could not possibly sink within
eight hours and that long before then
everybody would be taken off safely Mr.
Hays expressed no fear that he would be
lost by remaining on board the ship.
