SAFETY AT SEA

Ocean travel is far safer than land
travel. The perils Of those who go
down to the sea in ships belong to
tradition. The development of safety
devices, particularly the wireless, has
multiplied the chances of rescue from
shipwrecks many times.

The PIT human beings who abandoned
the City of Honlulu recently might
or might not have been picked up
from the open boats. AS it was, three
ships started toward them a moment
after the wireless call for help was
sent, and the freighter Vest Faralon
reached the spot within three hours
of the time when passengers and
crew abandoned the burning ship.

Everyone remembers Jack Binns,
he wireless operator who stuck to
his post to the last on the ill-fated
steamer Republic in January. 1909,
1t was the first occasion when a wire
less call saved many lives. The next
dramatic instance was the Titanic
disaster in April, 1912, when hun
dreds were rescued by the Carpathia,
summoned to the scene by Operators
Phillips and Bride. In practically
every sea disaster the wireless plays
it's creditable part. Like other bless.
ings of civilization we take it as a
matter of course. scarcely realizing
how much it has contributed to the
pleasure and safety of travel on the
trackless highways of the sea-

When King Alphonso enters a ball
