CRUISER Effarts To Secure Installation of New Safety System On All American War . Vessels — Would Have Prevented Sinking of Titanic, Ite Advocates Say. Washington, May 14:— The only way that any ship can be made unsinkable is by the use of compressed air in each water- tight compartment.”’ said Cap- tain Charles C. Marsh, command- ing the armored cruiser North Carolina. The North Carolina, under Captain Marsh’s urgent recom- mendation, is being fitted out with the compressed air system, and naval authorities have under having this system installed in every other vessel of the service. ‘Che Titanic”? said Captain accordingly by many of the pag- sengers, some of whom undoubt- edly lost their lives as a result of this faith in the ability of ship- builders to provide an absolutely safe means of transportation for them across the sea, sult has shaken the faith of the world in the absolute safety of ocean traffic. “From what [ have been able to learn from reports and other information previous to this dis- aster and from statements made by survivors I believe the Titanic was as near perfection as ship construction could make it, with with the only exception of ‘the use of compressed air, spstem been in use I think the ship would not have sunk and all of those thousand or more lives would have heen spared.’’ The cuptain pointed out that the owners of the steamship Mount Temple, which was one of the nearest vessels to the Titanie at the time it struck the iceberg, are in position to bear out his statements as to the successful application of compressed air in keeping ships afloat, This was first proved on the Mount Temple herself, which was sunk in the St, Lawrence River a few years ago. After every customary means of salvage had been tried |§ without result. John Arbuckle of New York experimented with compressed air and raised the ship, Captain Marsh has been a con- vert to the use of compressed air on ships ever since his own mem- orable experience in the sinking of the United States steamship Yankee off the New England coast in December, .1908. He was in command of the Yankee, whith was the parent ship of the torpedo fleet, The Yankee struck a rock ina heavy fog and went to the bottom in forty-two feet of water. Sal- vage operations conducted by the liers and tugs were used, proved without avail. Hope of floating the ship was abandoned when Mr, Arbuckle came along with compressed air. The vessel was raised by this system, butit sank again through no fault -of - the air: The second - ‘sinking: was ‘due partly to'a collision with a collier {| the fact that the vessel had only |, burst, jiant ship whén-sho was. acquired ji by the United. States government | , which was working alongside and one steel deck, Thé air pressuré necessary to- float. the vessel proved too strong against the under gyooden decks. ‘and, they The Yankee was an. old ‘merch Thesad re-|_ Had this | Bai during the Spanish war rand her’ : {eonstruction was : days have.- steel decks - and stronger bulkheads, which would render the compressed air r aystem effective. A Titanic Survivor | (Special to The Miner) Vancouver, May 9:—The first |? survivor of the Titanie to reach|? ‘the city is J. M. Davis, of the} Calcutta bankingtfirm of Davis &|+ Edwards, who arrived today, en|# route to Caleutta. Realizing that that the vessel was doomed, he]? jumped into the sea without a/; lifebelt, and was picked up, in a]: semi-consclous condition by one of the lifeboats, being revived!’ only after reaching the Carpathia, | 3 He agrees with the views of most |; of the survivors who testified at}; the inquiry.
