Mr. McBtlde Is surprised that ths
Titanic should have been sailing so far
Berth st this season of tits year, as the
lane followed la th one taken by vessels
late In the season . t'P to. June this
northern path. Is regarded by sailors ss
dangerpua. Some of,. the( leebergs, ac
cording to Mr. McBride, re mllte across,
snd are aa herd and solid as Olbraltsr.
They float about one-seventh above water
sod the balance beneath the aui face.
Mr. Mclirlde'a Idea in that the officers
of the Tltanlo should bare "nosed" the
iceberg and been more eautlou. He ssya
that a large Iceberg, or a field ofjee can
be "nosed'' .ten te fifteen mllearaway on
account of the act that It will reduce
the , temperature of the water several
degree. A eautlou captain, when he
discovers that the water la suddenly be
coming colder slows 46wn his host snd
proceed cautiously. Then. It he locates
th 'berg he veer from the course, or
backs away.
, od aa Sea, Itself. '
"There Is aa unwritten law of the sea.
a eld a the sea Itself, that In times of
danger the women and children ere to
be saved.- Upon the occasion of a wreck
the captain continues to stand noon ths
bridge, he being the last person to leave
the ship. His officers are lined up along
the rail and the men, women and children
are all called to the upper deck. Ths
situation Is explained and the life boats
sre brought out. Men among the pas
senger, but only those who can row
boat are called upon as volunteers. If
they cannot be found, then members of
the crew take chsrge of the boats, which
are lowered. - Down the ladders ths
women and ehlldren go, and as soon as
a boat Is filled. It strikes out. This con
tinues until all of the women and chil
dren, regardless ef wealth or station In
life ere taken off. vAfter that, tf there
are mote boats, the men are permitted
to 'ship, first cabin pessengers having a
preference. - ' -
Law Itlaldlr Bare.'
Tuning the time when the women are
being taken off the ship, officers and
sailors are along the rail la large numbers-
They sre ell armed with revolvers,
cutlasses or clubs, and should a man at
tempt ta break through the line snd rush
tat ahead of the women, be would be shot
or struck down- Instantly. He would re
cetTe bo more consideration than If he
was a dog. Wealth or position would
eatnt for nothing, and If he aa a mil

Atllr two days snd two nights ot In

Hrandele, the Omaha merchant who was
reluming from Kurop on the Titanic,
have practically given up fall hqmv at
hint being anion, the saved. Tbsy Iwv
spent sll ths. llms flnrtMhe disaster,
hovering rloss to the telegraph wires and
hsv received private messages from
New York, at first lending encourage
ment, only to have Ihrir dslr to see
his name In the list of survivors dis
appointed. A last letter, written by Emil Branded
In Paris shortly brfitre sailing, addressed
to Arthur Brandeis at New York snd
forwarded to Omaha, was received yes
terday murnlng. It Is Just the kind of a
letter a brother would write who bed
been absent for some time and was shout
lo rejoin th family, full of Interesting
rK'rsrinal Items.
"es, we hsv been forced to conclude
that Kmll was among ths lost." said
Arthur Brandeis yesterday. "We can do
nothing more at this great distance and
while we would eagerly grasp at the
slightest straw, we hsvs decided lo try
to take our minds off the terrible rslsm
Ity. One thing that haa brought us to
this view Is the report of the wsy ths
big men on Ihs boat stepped aside to let
the women and children snd those with
others dependent upon them hsve first
consideration. Knowing Kmll, ss We do,
and as brothers only ran know ons an
other, we feel that If anyone was to
make sacrifice he would, and that he
would think only of the safety of the
others."
The letter referred to reads In part:
"Waa greatly pleased to receive your
cable that you would meet me In New
York en the Kith. I doubt very much
whether wa shall arrive there so soon,
as you will aa by the Inclosed clipping
that on account of the coal strike they
run boats much slower than usual, so
I may not get there until Wednesday.
"I am not traveling wtlh any friends,
but there are a great many people going
on this boat tliiit I am well acquainted
with, so I flhe weatlier Is not rough I
exiiect to have a nice time on my return
trip. The ewetlier here the last few days
hss been very pleasant and I've been
dolus a great aval of walking, as while In

I am trying to walk H off. Looking for
