Disipline on the SS Britannic - 1889

THE discipline maintained on the White Star Line was fully exemplified on board the steamship Britannic on her last trip from this port, when some cotton stowed in the after part of the vessel was discovered to be on fire. Through the energy and promptness of Captain Davison, his officers and crew, it became a small matter in their hands, being extinguished within two hours.
