RESCUE BOAT SIGHTED
"Liner ahead!" cried the lookout on the tug to the captain.
"She must be the Carpathia," said the captain, and then
he turned the nose of his boat toward the spot on t he horizon.
Then the huge black hull and one smokestack could be
distinguished.
"It's the Carpathia," said the captain. "I can tell her
by the stack."

it. Here, at the gate of New York, was a ship whose record
for bravery and heroic work would be a familiar name in
history.
