THE GlAMPIAN's GOOD FORTUNE

THE GlAMPIAN'S GOOD FORTUNE.
1t was extreme good fortune that the
Allan line steamship Grampian is not

carried down large number of the LOO
people who were aboard her en- route
from Montreal for Liverpool, To have
hit an iceberg and to have escaped a

stove in her bow and with prov forced
back 40 feet by reason Of the impact
and with only two of her crew dead is
back in port to receive the necessary re-
pairs to make her seaworthy once more.
Had it not been for the fact that the
rather than lower projection Of the
huge mass the steamship probably would
have sunk before she could have made
port; but the force of the blow was felt
above the water line of the ship and the
damaged parts were above that water
line accordingly, so she was able to turn
about and make port. Bearing in mind
the fate of the Titanic through a col
lision with an iceberg, one is apt to shud-
der in contemplation of the possible fate
of the Grampan. The other ship went
down almost like plummet, her injury
having been sustained under the water
line; and a large percentage of her pas
senger list and crew never had a chance
to save themselves from drowning. 1t

American tourist traffic TO the coun-
tries of Europe ought to be strictly pro
hibited until such time as the European
countries are able to raise food to pro-
vide for themselves. II is poor business
policy for the United States to send food
to Europe and LET Europe use that food,
or part of it, to feed the people who
really have no right to be in Europe.
Curiosity seekers, for such the tourists
are largely at the present time, should
be kept at home.

And they walked along together
In the twilight's afterglow.
She waited for him patiently,
While he lowered all the bars,
Her soft eyes bent upon him
AS bright as evening stars.

Nor thanked him,
