(TITANIC) WILLIAM T. STEAD
(1849 - 1912) British newspaper editor who, as a pioneer of investigative journalism, became a controversial figure of the Victorian era. Died on the Titanic. A.L.S., 1p. 8vo., London, Nov. 23, 1889, in part: '...I'm awfully sorry but Mr. Garrett...in the rush and hurry of his South African departure forgot all about it...I suppose, it is too late...' A few stains, mainly in corners, else very good. After the ship struck the iceberg, Stead helped several women and children into the lifeboats, and gave his life jacket to another passenger. A later sighting of Stead, by survivor Philip Mock, has him clinging to a raft with John Jacob Astor IV. 'Their feet became frozen', reported Mock, 'and they were compelled to release their hold. Both were drowned.'
