“This acknowledgment of the Law of the Sea is the grandest exhibition that exists of the working of the code which protects the weaker element in the face of certain death, without taking not of their worthiness or fitness, and the most striking illustration of modern thought as compared with the ancient idea of “save himself who can.”...The Law of the Sea is chiseled on the tablets of Time and it can not be changed. One its endurance depends, to great extent the continuance of genuine manliness, the perpetuation of pure courage, the inspiration for unselfishness; it effaces all values that are outside the man and his character, and makes for brotherhood far more than all the sermons that can be preached.”
Frances Wayne, “Men of Brains and Millions sacrifice for Lowly Women,” The Denver Post, April 16, 1912
