"How did the Titanic know at night It's
exact position on the trackless and trail
less ocean,"
That question Is asked by many persons
today. as it is every time q wireless mes
sage comes out of the air from a vessel
calling for help The IS. o. s." gives
the signal that tells OF lives endangered;
but how futile would be that call II there
was not attached to It's statement OF the
exact spot on the unmarked waters OF the
boundless sea where the help IL needed.
A ship. however. especially one Of the
great ocean liners that carries popula-
ton sufficient to make q small village,
keeps track OF its exact position practical
w every minute and knows, within q
short distance, exactly where 1t is at all
times.
Use Sun as Guide.
BY specially constructed instruments
known to every navigator and scientist
reckonings are taken every day noon
by the sun II that Is possible. That en-
ables the captain on the bridge to fix the
exact latitude and longitude Of the boat
at that time. The ships log Is always
registering, and the direction Of the
steamer since the last reckoning is known
from the compass.
On q chart in the pilothouse, lined so
that minutes of latitude and longitude
are accurately shown. the progress of the
boat, determined by the log and the
compass, is marked practically continual
ly, beginning when the last sun reckon
ing was taken.
Chart Tells Ships Position. !.
So when an accident happens. the Cap
tain has only to glance at his chart and
he knows exactly where the ship is. This
record is, OF course. checked up by reck-
onings on stars, in case there is no fog
and no clouds.
Every one who. has crossed the oceans
is familiar with the big chart that hangs
in one Of the saloons, upon which is in
dictated every day at noon the exact posi-
ton Of the steamer and the number of
miles 1t has gone since the noon of the
day before. The chart, however, Is
only toy as compared with the chart
which hangs in the pilot house, and upon
which IL shown. not the ships position
every twenty-four hours, but the ship
position practically every minute.

The evidence against Bromley was in
