to all of you, especially Captain Smith. E.J.s frosty eyebrows rose. Me? Yes. Its a remarkable novel titled Futility. About a great British ship, amazingly similar to the Titanic.

I said the Titanic was as firm as a rock-those were my exact words-and in a subsequent letter, I called her a monstrous floating Babylon. Babylon, Andrews frowned, was destroyed.
