NEW YORK, Jan. 25.3After their
thrilling rescue at sea and still feel
ing the effects of a double transfer In
small boats in the open sea, more than
700 men. women and children. passen-
gers on the lost White Star steam
ship Republic, reached this city short
ly before noon today. The rescued
were brought to this port on the Baltic
of the White Star line. All were
bereft of their ,wardrobes, the baggage
having gone down with the Republic.
1t was hysterical meeting between
those on shore that had come to greet
relatives and friends who only few
days before had started merrily for
the Mediterranean.
When the Baltic finally tied up MEL
and women Rugged their relatives and
friends who were on the Republic.
Here a woman with glad little cry
would rush forward and fling her arms
about some ones neck. There a man
would take some one In his arms. tt e
police did their best to prevent con-
fusion, but they went about their duty
with moist eyes. IL Is not often given
them to see such scenes OF gladness.
No one waited for anything. AS soon
as those ashore and those from the
vessel were united. they moved on
TO the waiting vehicles. The womne

spare clothing OF the Baltic's gener-
Gus passengers, were hustled into cabs
and hurried off. Those who could not
get cabs walked Conventions were
thrust aside, and no one was ashamed
{ his or her improvised attire.
The Baltic loomed outside the San
dy Hook bar shortly after l o'clock
this morning, but the fog was so dense
that the huge liner could not start up
the Ambrose channel until 20 minutes
to 10. With a, brief halt at Quaran-
tine, the ship bearing the rescued
steamed up the bay for her dock.
The Italian emigrant- ship Florida.
which rammed the Republic early Sat
urday morning, made her way here
slowly. her bow crumpled up and
bucking the seas. Conveying the Flo
rida was the American liner New
York. which was one of the many
liners to stand by and offer aid to the
stricken ships. The New York had
been sighted through fhe haze OF
Sandy Hook.
The stove-in Republic sank at 8
o'clock last night off Nantucket island
while fleet OF tugs were trying to
get her Into the nearest port. Her
gallant captain, Sealby, one OF the he
roes OF the wreck, and his salvage
crew. stuck by the sinking ship until
the water, rising over the decks, swept
them of their feet. They were all
saved.
1t did not develop until yesterday
that there had been loss OF life In the
collision.
The bodies Of Mrs. Lynch and Bank.

the wreck Of the Republic last night.

fog soon after midnight. passing the
