And
that
is
all
we
can
know
or
imagine
about
them
;
but
it
is
probably
more
than
most
of
the
fortunate
ones
on
the
snowy
upper
decks
cared
to
know
or
imagine
.
Up
there
also
there
were
distinctions
;
some
of
the
travellers
there
,
for
example
,
were
so
rich
that
they
were
conspicuous
for
riches
,
even
in
a
population
like
this
and
I
imagine
that
the
standard
of
wealth
is
higher
in
the
first-class
population
of
an
Atlantic
liner
than
in
any
other
group
of
people
in
the
world
.
There
were
four
men
there
who
represented
between
them
the
possession
of
some
seventy
millions
of
money
John
Jacob
Astor
,
Isidore
Straus
,
George
D.
Widener
,
and
Benjamin
Guggenheim
their
names
;
and
it
was
said
that
there
were
twenty
who
represented
a
fortune
of
a
hundred
millions
between
them
an
interesting
,
though
not
an
important
,
fact
.
But
there
were
people
there
conspicuous
for
other
things
than
their
wealth
.
There
was
William
T.
Stead
who
,
without
any
wealth
at
all
,
had
in
some
respects
changed
the
thought
and
social
destinies
of
England
;
there
was
Francis
Millet
,
a
painter
who
had
attained
to
eminence
in
America
and
who
had
recently
been
head
of
the
American
Academy
in
Rome
;
there
was
an
eminent
motorist
,
an
eminent
master
of
hounds
,
an
eminent
baseball
player
,
an
eminent
poloist
;
and
there
was
Major
Archibald
Butt
,
the
satellite
and
right-hand
man
of
Presidents
,
who
had
had
a
typical
American
career
as
newspaper
correspondent
,
secretary
,
soldier
,
diplomatist
,
aide-de-camp
,
and
novelist
.
There
was
Mr.
Ismay
,
the
most
important
man
on
the
ship
,
for
as
head
of
the
White
Star
Line
he
was
practically
her
owner
.
He
was
accompanying
her
on
her
maiden
voyage
with
no
other
object
than
to
find
out
wherein
she
was
defective
,
so
that
her
younger
sister
might
excel
her
.
He
may
be
said
to
have
accomplished
his
purpose
;
and
of
all
the
people
who
took
this
voyage
he
is
probably
the
only
one
who
succeeded
in
what
he
set
out
to
do
.
There
was
Mr.
Andrews
,
one
of
the
designers
of
the
Titanic
,
who
had
come
to
enjoy
the
triumph
of
his
giant
child
;
and
there
were
several
others
also
,
denizens
of
that
great
forest
of
iron
in
Belfast
Lough
,
who
had
seen
her
and
known
her
when
she
was
a
cathedral
building
within
a
scaffolding
,
the
most
solid
and
immovable
thing
in
their
world
.
These
,
the
friends
and
companions
of
her
infancy
,
had
come
too
,
we
may
suppose
,
to
admire
her
in
her
moment
of
success
,
as
the
nurses
and
humble
attendants
of
some
beautiful
girl
will
watch
in
a
body
her
departure
for
the
triumphs
of
her
first
ball
.
Of
all
this
throng
I
had
personal
knowledge
of
only
two
;
and
yet
the
two
happened
to
be
extremely
typical
.
I
knew
John
Jacob
Astor
a
few
years
ago
in
New
York
,
when
he
sometimes
seemed
like
a
polite
skeleton
in
his
own
gay
house
;
an
able
but
superficially
unprepossessing
man
,
so
rich
that
it
was
almost
impossible
to
know
accurately
anything
about
him
a
man
,
I
should
say
,
to
whom
money
had
been
nothing
but
a
handicap
from
his
earliest
days
.
He
was
typical
of
this
company
because
he
was
so
conspicuous
and
so
unknown
;
for
when
a
man
has
thirty
millions
of
money
the
world
hears
about
his
doings
and
possessions
endlessly
,
but
knows
little
of
the
man
himself
.
It
is
enough
to
say
that
there
were
good
things
and
bad
things
credited
to
his
account
,
of
which
the
good
were
much
more
unlikely
and
surprising
than
the
bad
.
The
other
man
and
how
different
!
was
Christopher
Head
.
He
was
typical
too
,
typical
of
that
almost
anonymous
world
that
keeps
the
name
of
England
liked
and
respected
everywhere
.
I
said
that
he
was
typical
because
these
few
conspicuous
names
that
I
have
mentioned
represent
only
one
narrow
class
of
mankind
;
among
the
unnamed
and
the
unknown
you
may
be
sure
,
if
you
have
any
wide
experience
of
collective
humanity
,
that
virtues
and
qualities
far
more
striking
and
far
more
admirable
were
included
.
Christopher
Head
was
mild
and
unassuming
,
and
one
of
the
most
attractive
of
men
,
for
wherever
he
went
he
left
a
sense
of
serenity
and
security
;
and
he
walked
through
life
with
a
keen
,
observant
intelligence
.
Outside
Lloyd
's
,
of
which
great
corporation
he
was
a
member
,
his
interests
were
chiefly
artistic
,
and
he
used
his
interest
and
knowledge
in
the
best
possible
way
for
the
public
good
when
he
was
Mayor
of
Chelsea
,
and
made
his
influence
felt
by
imparting
some
quite
new
and
much-needed
ideals
into
that
civic
office
...
But
two
known
faces
do
not
make
a
crowd
familiar
;
and
nothing
will
bring
most
of
us
any
nearer
to
the
knowledge
of
these
voyagers
than
will
the
knowledge
of
what
happened
to
them
.
One
thing
we
do
know
a
small
thing
and
yet
illuminating
to
our
picture
.
There
were
many
young
people
on
board
,
many
newly
married
,
and
some
,
we
may
be
sure
,
for
whom
the
voyage
represented
the
gateway
to
romance
;
for
no
Atlantic
liner
ever
sailed
with
a
full
complement
and
set
down
all
its
passengers
in
the
emotional
state
in
which
it
took
them
up
.
The
sea
is
a
great
match-maker
;
and
in
those
long
monotonous
hours
of
solitude
many
flowers
of
the
heart
blossom
and
many
minds
and
characters
strike
out
towards
each
other
in
new
and
undreamed-of
sympathy
Of
this
we
may
be
as
sure
as
of
the
existence
of
the
ship
:
that
there
were
on
board
the
Titanic
people
watching
the
slip
of
moon
setting
early
on
those
April
nights
for
whom
time
and
the
world
were
quite
arrested
in
their
course
,
and
for
whom
the
whole
ship
and
her
teeming
activities
were
but
frame
and
setting
for
the
perfect
moment
of
their
lives
;
for
whom
the
thronging
multitudes
of
their
fellow
passengers
were
but
a
blurred
background
against
which
the
colour
of
their
joy
stood
sharp
and
clear
.
The
fields
of
foam-flecked
blue
,
sunlit
or
cloud-shadowed
by
day
;
the
starlight
on
the
waters
;
the
slow
and
scarcely
perceptible
swinging
of
the
ship
's
rail
against
the
violet
and
spangled
sky
;
the
low
murmur
of
voices
,
the
liquid
notes
of
violins
,
the
trampling
tune
of
the
engines
to
how
many
others
have
not
these
been
the
properties
of
a
magic
world
;
for
how
many
others
,
as
long
as
men
continue
to
go
in
ships
upon
the
sea
,
will
they
not
be
the
symbols
of
a
joy
that
is
as
old
as
time
,
and
that
is
found
to
be
new
by
every
generation
!
For
this
also
is
one
of
the
gifts
of
the
sea
,
and
one
of
the
territories
through
which
the
long
road
passes
.
Sunday
came
,
with
nothing
to
mark
it
except
the
morning
service
in
the
saloon
a
function
that
by
reason
of
its
novelty
,
attracts
some
people
at
sea
who
do
not
associate
it
with
the
shore
.
One
thing
,
however
,
fire
or
boat
muster
,
which
usually
marks
Sunday
at
sea
,
and
gives
it
a
little
variety
,
did
not
for
some
reason
take
place
.
It
is
one
of
the
few
variants
of
the
monotony
of
shipboard
life
,
where
anything
in
the
nature
of
a
spectacle
is
welcomed
;
and
most
travellers
are
familiar
with
the
stir
caused
by
the
sudden
hoarse
blast
of
the
foghorn
and
the
subsequent
patter
of
feet
and
appearance
from
below
of
all
kinds
of
people
whose
existence
the
passenger
had
hardly
suspected
.
Stewards
,
sailors
,
firemen
,
engineers
,
nurses
,
bakers
,
butchers
,
cooks
,
florists
,
barbers
,
carpenters
,
and
stewardesses
,
ranged
in
two
immense
lines
along
the
boat
deck
,
answer
to
their
names
and
are
told
off
,
according
to
their
numbers
,
to
take
charge
of
certain
boats
.
This
muster
did
not
take
place
on
the
Titanic
;
if
it
had
it
would
have
revealed
to
any
observant
passenger
the
fact
that
the
whole
crew
of
nine
hundred
would
have
occupied
all
the
available
accommodation
in
the
boats
hanging
on
the
davits
and
left
no
room
for
any
passengers
.
For
the
men
who
designed
and
built
the
Titanic
,
who
knew
the
tremendous
strength
of
the
girders
and
cantilevers
and
bulkheads
which
took
the
thrust
and
pull
of
every
strain
that
she
might
undergo
,
had
thought
of
boats
rather
as
a
superfluity
,
dating
from
the
days
when
ships
were
vulnerable
,
when
they
sprang
leaks
and
might
sink
in
the
high
seas
.
In
their
pride
they
had
said
"
the
Titanic
can
not
spring
a
leak
.
"
So
there
was
no
boat
muster
,
and
the
routine
occupations
of
Sunday
went
on
unvaried
and
undisturbed
.
Only
in
the
Marconi
room
was
the
monotony
varied
,
for
something
had
gone
wrong
with
the
delicate
electrical
apparatus
,
and
the
wireless
voice
was
silent
;
and
throughout
the
morning
and
afternoon
,
for
seven
hours
,
Phillips
and
Bride
were
hard
at
work
testing
and
searching
for
the
little
fault
that
had
cut
them
off
from
the
world
of
voices
.
And
at
last
they
found
it
,
and
the
whining
and
buzzing
began
again
.
But
it
told
them
nothing
new
;
only
the
same
story
,
whispered
this
time
from
the
Californian
the
story
of
ice
.
