CORK FENDER
I AhT|DOTE FOR
SEA ACCIDENTS

ITO save that ship. ali these lives,
so much anguish for the dying and so
much grief for the bereayed." says
Joseph Conrad. writing of the EN-.
press OF Ireland disaster for the Illus
trated London News, "aIl that was
needed in the way OF science, money
ingenuity and seamanship was one
man and one cork fender" -. ..:
Conrad writes not as a novelist but
as one who has "been seaman, mate
and master for twenty years. holding
my certificate under the Board of
Trade" He does not now remember
the cost of cork fender-perhaps
it was 80 shillings or less when they
came under his indentures- he
does believe in all sincerity that zone
of them, hung judiciously over the
side at the end Of its lanyard by a
man who knew what he was about,
would have saved from destruction
the ship and upward of a thousand
lives. III -
Two men with two tenders would
have been better, but even the use of
one would have made all the differ
ence between a very damaging acct
dent and downright disaster.
by the time the cork fender had
been squeezed between the liners
side and the bluff OF the Storstad's
bow, the effect of the latter's reversed
propeller would have been produced.
and the ships would have come apart
with no more damage than, perhaps,
bulged or started plates, and that
above the water-line too, not enough
to cause a leak, let alone sink
ing!"
Such tenders must have been
about, since one ship was just out
of dock or harbor and the other
just arriving. And there was plenty
the conditions in which such tenders
are effectively used.
The water was as smooth as in.
any dock: one ship was motionless,
the other just moving at what may
be called dock-speed when entering,
leaving or shifting berths; and from
the moment the collision was seen
to be unavoidable till the actual con-
tact a whole minute elapsed. A min
ute!-an age under the circumstan-
ces."
The cork fender is described as "a
sort of soft balloon made from net
of thick rope rather more than foot
in diameter"
While Conrad was developing his
idea for the Illustrated News, a retir-
ed captain of the Royal Navy was
suggesting that all steamers be OBJ
liged to carry hung over their stem
what is called at sea pudding
that is, something like bolster Of
stout rope net stuffed with old junk,
but much thicker in the middle than
at the ends"
These suggestions for quick thought
and safety, too late to save the EN-
press of Ireland and her precious
burden, may be remembered with
blessed effect in the face OF some lat
er menace of like catastrophe.

The artist, who was rather noted for

e. D. McKeever, attorney for the
bank. began his cross examination of
Blitz.
And the examination was "cross''
right from the beginning. Biitz had
just testified that at q hearing Of his

chased diamonds in Blitz's name but
that the diamonds were delivered at

In reply to q question as to how
many notes and their amounts he had

said he wanted them singed in blanh
