From I be Surfare the Titanic May
Take a Ubk V)ee Ilefore She
Strike the Bottom of the Sea.
Washington. May I. Scientists are
still wrestling with the problem of
whether the Titanic which went down
in two miles of water will ever reach
the bottom. It has been explained by
experts that the piercing of the shell
or "skin" beneath the water line and
n !i(.n t f ltinVl in'sr of two or more
adjacent compartments caused the
vessel to sink. But the remaining
bouyancy cannot be computed, for the
facts, as known by the survivors, tell
nothing of the number of intact compartment.-,
the closing of the water
tight dours, the total weight of wooden
.structure, or the natural and artificial
air pockets.
With so many x's" or unknown
quantities science refuses to sive a
definite solution to, the problem, says
a writer in The Herald.
It is said that the Titanic took an
an;jle of from 43 degrees to 60 degrees
on her final plunge. The projections
above her hull, cabins, funnels, etc..
would offer
under water,
considerate resistance
while the sides, from i
keel to upper deck, free of incum
brances, would glide more smoothly
through the water. As a result, her
Imaginary path would describe an arc
of a great circle whose limit would be
reached at a point tangent to a line
parallel to the sea level. There gravity
would bring the mass almost to a
halt and slowly, her stern still bouyed
up by - air pockets, her bow would
swing about till she continued on her
downward curvilinear course in an
opposite direction; in short, she would
zig-zag". A pendulum, constantly low
ered, while o'scilating supplies a clear
comparison.
In this event would she land directly
beneath the spot of her immersion?
Perhaps so. were it not for a weighty
factor hitherto unheeded i. e. ocean
currents.
It .s calculated that the Titanic sank
at 41 decrees 46 minutes north, 50 de
grees 14 minutes west. The charts
trace the Labrador current, a power
ful iceberg carrier, as passing through
this region. This mighty force, that
rises in Baffin Bay and is augment
ed at Davis Strait, has borne many
waterlogged derelicts on its southward
trip and deposited them along the
Jersey coast. For this it is remark
able: Just off Newfoundland it dives
beneath the Gulf Stream, which
is i
heading at this point almost due east
for the mid-Atlantic. The latter is
really an ocean river, with a mean
depth of about 1,500 fathoms and a
mean breadth of ten miles.
At this current junction the waves
closed over the ill-starred vessel. Was
the velocity of her descent such that
she had passed from the Gulf Stream's
influence before the increasing density
of the water could materially retard
her precipitous progress? If so, her
drift has been southward. And if, on
the other hand, the Gulf Stream was
sufficiently deep, her trend is toward
the setting sun.
Comes the all-obsorbing query now:
Will the Titanic's keel ever make its
impress upon the ocean bottom? Sup
posing that it did, at the depth of 2,000
fathoms, there would be a pressure of
5,200 pounds on every square inch, or
on the whole bulk a pressure of two
and a half million tons! Superimpose
this inconceivable weight upon 66.000
tons, the Titanic figure, and let your
Imagination run riot.
When the Titanic has sunk to a
depth where its apparent weight and
the resultant of the fluid pressure,
acting in opposite directions are exact
ly equal, the great vessel, after a
pietous fashion, will come again into
its own float. And the equilibrium
established will be so delicate that a
current no swifter than that of a
millpond will bear the spent grey
hound on its breast. The explosion
of a submarine mine a hundred miles
away will set its barnacled and cor
roding sides trembling like the ten
derest leaf In autumn.
CITRA
Citra, Fla., April 30. This little
town was thrown into excitement
Sunday afternoon when the news
reached us that George R. Rowell had
been drowned at Simmon's Pond,
about six miles "from Citra, where he
and several boy friends had driven out
about 2 o'clock hoping to enjoy a
j swim. All were seeming to enjoy
j themselves when George was suddenly
! stricken with a cramp and went down
before his friends could give aid. Doc
tors were rushed to the scene, also
about one hundred men went quickly,
several others going in the water, hop
ing the body could be found by diving.
But by dragging the bottom the body
was found at eight thirty, just six
hours afterwards, and was brought to
his parents' home on Church street,
where was done every thing that sin
cere friends could do towards the
heart-broken parents and sister Com
fort. George was the only son and
youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Ed
ward Rowell, was a bright and indus
trious young man, just twenty-one
years of age. When he left his parents
Sunday afternoon, happy, little realiz
ing that he would never return. "God
moves in a mysterious way his won-
! ders to perform."
The body was placed in a beautiful
casket entirely covered with beautiful
flowers that had been sent by sym
pathizing friends in the parlors of his
home, where his young life had been
crushed so suddenly, and was viewed
by many friends for the last time be
i fore it was taken to the Baptist church
' where impressive funeral services
! were held at three o'clock by Rev. F.
. T Griffin of the Methodist church as

family officiating. Miss Appie Redditt
presiding at the organ. The choir was
i composed of six young ladies singing

j of pall bearers were six of his young
j men friends who had known him from
! childhood. The body was laid to rest
by that of a sister and brother in the
I Citra cemetery. The services being
. completed, and while the mound was
being made Miss Appie Redditt sang
softly 'Face to Face." He leaves to
mourn his loss, a grief stricken father
and mother, and two sisters, Mrs. J.
