“I never expected to ask you to obey, but this is one time you must. It is only a matter of form to have women and children first. The ship is thoroughly equipped and everyone on her will be saved.” Mrs. Smith asked him if he was being completely truthful. Mr. Smith gave a firm, decisive, “Yes.” So they kissed good-by, and as the boat dropped to the sea, he called from the deck, “Keep your hands in your pockets; it is very cold weather.”

—A Night to Remember,
