Bishop Potter of New York was sailing for Europe. As he went aboard the large ocean liner, he found that another passenger was to share the cabin with him. After looking over his quarters, he went back to the purser's desk and asked if he could leave his gold watch and other valuables in the ship's safe. He explained that ordinarily he never did this sort of thing but he had been to his cabin and had met the man would occupy the other bed, and judging from his appearance, he was afraid that he might not be a very trustworthy person.
The purser accepted the responsibility of caring for the valuables and remarked, "It's all right, Bishop. I'll be very glad to take care of them for you. The other man has just been up here and deposited all his valuables for the same reason."
