It was, however, not built on a fine model for speed, although it was considered remarkably safe and staunch. It made several voyages across the Atlantic very satisfactorily and was in great demand in the passenger line. Theatrical people, of whom there were a good many travelin\u2019 even then, liked it particularly. Braham and the Woods came over in it, I believe. Power was especially anxious to leave New York in it\u2013refused to patronize any other vessel and expressed himself as overjoyed at his good luck in at last securin\u2019 a passage across in this favorite vessel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/SS-President-May-27-2022-1.jpg?resize=640%2C465&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1399\" style=\"width:576px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/SS-President-May-27-2022-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C744&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/SS-President-May-27-2022-1.jpg?resize=300%2C218&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/SS-President-May-27-2022-1.jpg?resize=768%2C558&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/SS-President-May-27-2022-1.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The <em>President,<\/em> with Power and 122 other men and women on board, left New York on a fine March mornin\u2019. The actor had been besought earnestly by several of his friends not to cross in March. He was offered an engagement to play in this country till June, when the weather would have settled, but he said that the climate didn&#8217;t agree with him (and it really didn&#8217;t) and that he was sure he would never recover his health till he saw London again. So he started off, and in the highest of spirits. He had made a lot of money in this country and, unlike most English actors, had really invested some money in the country. He took a fancy to a Texas ranch and bought several thousands of acres there, intendin\u2019 some day, he said, to return and become a landed proprietor. He also had a large sum of money with him and had sent over a considerable sum in advance of his comin\u2019, so he had reason to feel happy and proud and grateful to his American friends, several of whom \u201csaw him off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; At the same time that the <em>President<\/em> started off, a fine packet ship, the <em>Orpheus,<\/em> commanded by a Captain Cole, left New York and kept the <em>President<\/em> company down the bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The two ships sailed close along together till night and then took different courses. The first night out was calm and pleasant and nothin\u2019 occurred on either vessel out of the common. On the next mornin\u2019, which dawned pleasantly, the <em>Orpheus<\/em> once more sighted the <em>President,<\/em> some distance off, and for some reason or other Captain Cole took a long, long look at the retreatin\u2019 steamer with his glass and then, puttin\u2019 it down, turned to his mate and said: \u201cI wonder if we shall see that vessel again?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; They never did, for that evenin\u2019 it began to blow hard, and before the next mornin\u2019 there was a tremendous gale. The packet ship had all she could do to weather the storm, and as for the steamer, she was never seen or heard of again, nor anybody on board. The tempest lasted for three days and nights and was one of the most severe ever known. It strewed the Atlantic with wrecks of all kinds. The gale was so strong that the wind took the sails of the <em>Orpheus,<\/em> though they had been furled tightly to the yards, and tore \u2018em into bits of ribbons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There were two other big steamships out in this gale\u2013the <em>British Queen<\/em> and the <em>Halifax.<\/em> Both of these escaped destruction. As for the <em>President,<\/em> she was the largest and heaviest of the three ships. So, although she was supposed to be the staunchest, she was the only one lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/SS-President-May-27-2022-2.jpg?resize=640%2C466&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1400\" style=\"width:694px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/SS-President-May-27-2022-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C745&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/SS-President-May-27-2022-2.jpg?resize=300%2C218&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/SS-President-May-27-2022-2.jpg?resize=768%2C559&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/SS-President-May-27-2022-2.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The disappearance of the <em>President<\/em> created a sad sensation on both sides of the ocean. An English Lord went down on board, as did a young couple from New York named Howell, who had loved each other for years, had been separated and reunited several times, and who finally, comfortably fixed, had got married just two hours before the <em>President<\/em> started, and had taken passage for their bridal trip. It was an awful honeymoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But the loss of Tyrone Power was the item uppermost in the public mind, and it created a great impression upon the mind of another favorite English actor called Elton, a great friend of Power\u2019s, who at the time Power was lost had just made up his mind to try his luck in America. This Elton had always had a high idea of America and Americans, formin\u2019 his opinions, of course, merely on what he had heard and read of this country, or from the Americans he had met in England, as he had never been in America himself. Elton had received a good offer to come over here, and probably would have been very successful, as he had a natural style of humor and of actin\u2019 just suited to American audiences; besides, he was a jolly good fellow and had none of that national or personal conceit that makes some of my fellow-countrymen so confoundedly disagreeable to everybody but \u2018emselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"357\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/elton_edward.jpg?resize=357%2C440&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1401\" style=\"width:209px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/elton_edward.jpg?w=357&amp;ssl=1 357w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/elton_edward.jpg?resize=243%2C300&amp;ssl=1 243w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Edward W. Elton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But as soon as he became assured as to Tyrone Power\u2019s fate, as soon as it was universally agreed upon that he had gone down at Sea with the <em>President,<\/em> nothin\u2019 on earth could induce Elton to go to America. They might have offered him the city of New York, and it would have been in vain. He got kind of cranky on poor Power, and kept all the time harpin\u2019 on how poor Power must have felt when he was goin\u2019 down. Accordin\u2019 to Elton, Power went down into the sea thinkin\u2019 of the lights and applause of the theatre, seein\u2019 the footlights of the old Haymarket glarin\u2019 at his feet and a full audience lookin\u2019 at him and applaudin\u2019 him. To hear Elton talk on this theme sometimes one would have thought that he must have been on board himself at the time the <em>President<\/em> went down, or that he himself was the rescued Power. Perhaps he did really think this himself at times. Anybody that gets cranky on any point carries the point to a ridiculous point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; From the time of the loss of Power on, Elton conceived an aversion to the ocean, which he had always been fond of before, and did all his travelin\u2019, as far as possible, by land. Yet no one can escape his fate, and it was Elton&#8217;s fate to die, despite of his fears and precautions, just the same way as Power, and under remarkably similar circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Elton had been a while in Edinburgh, bringin\u2019 out a young lady pupil of his, a Miss Angel, and doin\u2019 very well. But he felt sick, and so wanted to get back to London as soon as possible, just like his friend Power. He had a friend, the captain of the steamship called <em>Pegasus,<\/em> which sailed between London and Edinburgh, and this friend offered him a passage on his vessel to London. Elton hated to go to by sea, but he hated still more to spend money when he could save it, so he accepted his friend\u2019s offer, and just this once took a sea voyage. It was his last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On the <em>Pegasus<\/em> there was among the passengers an English Lord, just as on board the <em>President,<\/em> and the <em>Pegasus<\/em> went down in a storm, just like the <em>President.<\/em> It struck a cliff, known as the Golden Rock, and all on board save six, of whom Elton was not one, perished. But, accordin\u2019 to the account of one of the six survivors, poor Elton did not pass his last moments as he thought poor Power did, for this survivor saw as he last looked at the sinkin\u2019 ship a clergyman who was on board, the Rev. Dr. McKenzie, kneelin\u2019 down and sayin\u2019 his prayers on the deck, and round him were gathered a number of passengers likewise prayin\u2019, and among \u2018em was poor Elton on his knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"365\" height=\"322\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pegasus_sinking.jpg?resize=365%2C322&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pegasus_sinking.jpg?w=365&amp;ssl=1 365w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pegasus_sinking.jpg?resize=300%2C265&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Pegasus<\/em> sinking<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It was a good way for a man to die, and it was a strikin\u2019 scene, a scene afterwards repeated closely when the <em>Ville de Havre<\/em> went down at sea a few years ago and two of the most fashionable young ladies of New York went down prayin\u2019, with a lot of passengers followin\u2019 their example.
