Italians and other foreigners who care

a party of 40 women, but SO great was
the panic that not a hand was raised
to assist in her launching. The occu-
pants SO near safe. were drowned like
rats when the ship. with an awful hiss

dreds of valuable lives.
| So desperate was the situation that
an Italian passenger drew his krife and
made thrust at one who. like himself
was endeavoring to reach the boats.
| Immediately the action was initiated
in every direction. Knives were -four

into the water. The passengers grab
