MODERN SHIPS NOT BUILT RIGHT

coin Colcord, who knows the sea as few
people do, writes remarkable letter in
which he claims modern ships are not
built for safety. An extract from his
letter follows:
"A fearful thing when steamer
breaks in two. But We of the sea have
always known that those tank steamers,
with the machinery all aft, aren't fit for
the Atlantic: they have been put on be-
cause some corporation wants to
squeeze out few more dollars; and
now, as if that weren't enough, they go
one better, cut down on the specifica-
tions, build them cheaper, and one of
the poor things falls In two. A sordid
romance at best; all quite unnecessary.
Dollars and cents, my masters! know
the men, too, who navigate them; men
without proper experience, with no re-
sponsibility, sleepers at night on the
bridge. Even poor old Smith, of the
''Titanic," a man trained to better ways,
had been caught by it, >"
