A MATTER OF VIEWPOINT

ACTION of Captain +. L. Sears master
II of the oil tanker Cities Service Pet
rel, in refusing rescue and choosing to go
down with his ship last week. gives op.
portunity for unlimited argument as to
the wisdom or desirability of the choice
he made
Much has been written of the heroism
of men who go down with their ships.
There are some instances in which their
right to be acclaimed heroes cannot be
disputed. For instance, crew which
goes down battling the elements, when
there is ne possible chance Of safety, can
rightly be given a halo of glory.
The case of Captain Sears is radically
different. His ship was on fire, pre-
sumably through no fault of his own.
His crew had been taken off by rescue
vessel and the same opportunity was Off
cred TO him.
There was not a single thing 10 be
gained by sinking with his ship. 1t Is
taken for granted that Captain Sears had
done what little If was possible TO do IN
an effor to save his craft. He had done
his duty and we question if any law OF
the sea. written or traditional, justified
his waste of his life, for that is what II
amounts TO.
We do not question Captain Sears
courage. Nobody can do that, for his
couraged is not open to edbate. But
there is a difference between herolsm
and fatalism. One is a determination
to carry on despite obstacles; the other
is 2 resignation to circumstances with
out making any effort to change them.
Caarc chose the later course
and probably felt he was justified IN do
ing so. But it would be sorry world II
men adopted the plan he followed-giv-
ing way to conditions instead OF batting
to overcome them.
