		Captain Arthur Rostron of the 13,600-ton Cunard (opponent of the White Star Line) steamer 'Carpathia' tried to contemplate the events that would unfold in the coming hours.

		Henry Sleeper Harper, who was in Lifeboat #3, thought of how small the 'Carpathia' looked, with its single funnel spewing fl smoke into the morning sky, compared to the liner he had been aboard only a few hours before.

		No credit is given to the stalwart Capt. Arthur Henry Rostron of the Carpathia, who, by dashing through the ice to the site of the disaster, probably saved more lives than any other human agent.
		And where is the deeply annoying Henry Sleeper Harper, who escaped with his wife, his manservant and his Pekingese while 52 children in steerage drowned?
