people went down with the North German Lloyd

The disaster was startling in its magni

THE ENGLISH PILOTS STATEMENT.

statement to-day:

the boats out, but not to lower them until
further orders. Then came an order summoning
everybody on deck and sending the crew to their
stations. This order followed by another
command for the women and children TO go 10
the starboard boats. the order giving everybody
to understand that the women and children
were to be saved first. These orders were given
by the captain himself and were repeated by
First officer Wilhelm. The next order given
was for the lowering CT the boats. There was
no confusion whatever among the crew or In
the giving of orders, nor was there any panic
among the passengers or crew. hlgh sea was
