The
three
ship
's
boys
spent
the
whole
of
that
hour
carrying
provisions
from
the
store-room
to
the
deck
;
the
post-office
employes
worked
in
the
flooded
mail-room
below
to
save
the
mail-bags
and
carry
them
up
to
where
they
might
be
taken
off
if
there
should
be
a
chance
;
the
purser
and
his
men
brought
up
the
ship
's
books
and
money
,
against
all
possibility
of
its
being
any
use
to
do
so
,
but
because
it
was
their
duty
at
such
a
time
to
do
so
;
the
stewards
were
busy
to
the
end
with
their
domestic
,
and
the
officers
with
their
executive
,
duties
.
In
all
this
we
have
an
example
of
spontaneous
discipline
for
they
had
never
been
drilled
in
doing
these
things
,
they
only
knew
that
they
had
to
do
them
such
as
no
barrack-room
discipline
in
the
world
could
match
.
In
such
moments
all
artificial
bonds
are
useless
.
It
is
what
men
are
in
themselves
that
determines
their
conduct
;
and
discipline
and
conduct
like
this
are
proofs
,
not
of
the
superiority
of
one
race
over
another
,
but
that
in
the
core
of
human
nature
itself
there
is
an
abiding
sweetness
and
soundness
that
fear
can
not
embitter
nor
death
corrupt
.
The
twin
gray
horses
are
still
at
their
work
in
Belfast
Lough
,
and
on
any
summer
morning
you
may
see
their
white
manes
shining
like
gold
as
they
escort
you
in
from
the
sunrise
and
the
open
sea
to
where
the
smoke
rises
and
the
din
resounds
.
For
the
iron
forest
has
branched
again
,
and
its
dreadful
groves
are
echoing
anew
to
the
clamour
of
the
hammers
and
the
drills
Another
ship
,
greater
and
stronger
even
than
the
lost
one
,
is
rising
within
the
cathedral
scaffoldings
;
and
the
men
who
build
her
,
companions
of
those
whom
the
Titanic
spilled
into
the
sea
,
speak
among
themselves
and
say
,
"
this
time
we
shall
prevail
.
