Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan

''Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan'' is an 1898 novella written by Morgan Robertson. The story features the ocean liner ''Titan'', which sinks in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg. The ''Titan'' and its sinking have been noted to be very similar to the real-life passenger ship , which sank fourteen years later. Following the wreck the novel was reissued with some changes, particularly in the ship's gross tonnage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Titanic -Futility )
==Plot==
The first half of ''Futility'' introduces the hero, John Rowland. Rowland is a disgraced former US Navy officer, who is now an alcoholic and has fallen to the lowest levels of society. Dismissed from the Navy, he is working as a deckhand on the ''Titan''. On an April night the ship hits the iceberg, capsizing and sinking somewhat before the halfway point of the novel. The second half follows Rowland, as he saves the young daughter of a former lover by jumping onto the iceberg with her. After a number of adventures, in which he fights a polar bear (suffering permanent physical disability due to wounds sustained in the fight) and finds a lifeboat washed up on the iceberg, he is eventually rescued by a passing ship, overcomes his addiction and, over several years, works his way up to a lucrative Government job restoring his former income and position in society. In the closing lines of the story he receives a message from his former lover, pleading for him to visit her and her daughter.
