TRANSFER OF PASSENGERS BEGINS

sengers in her own boats and those of the Flor
ida TO the latter steamer had begun. Binns re-
ported to Captain Sealby that the Baltic was
coming, and the word hurled from the
bridge to all parts of the steamer. Those In the
lifeboats heard it, and, forgetting for the mo-
ment their predicament they cheered The re-
port that the big Baltic would be at hand
put great courage into the hearts of the pas
sengers still the Republic.
There was general impulse to get to the
first boats lowered, but a few orders from the
well trained officers and some cool and mus
cular Americans who paced the Republics deck
restored everything to order, and the work went
on methodicaly. Many CT the women wept
and, clinging to the stewards who the pre-
vious day had been their servants. begged for
assurance that there was danger. Some
scantily clad women who had rushed to the
deck in their night robes refused to return and
grope their way back to the darkened state
rooms for their clothes, and in many instances
the Republics officers took off their coats and
put them around the shivering women. Male
passengers followed the lead Of the officers in
covering up the nervous women.
One of the Republics passengers grabbed a
cane from his stateroom and walked the cold
deck in his pajamas. His clothing he said, was
on top of the cane on a lounge, but he could
give no reason for taking the cane in preference
to his clothes
Some passengers chung tightly to jewel cases
while others held tightly to their children with
a deathlike grip In the transfer some families
were separated and this had tendency toward
mild panics in various parts of the Republic.
Just before Binns sent his last message he
was informed that the Republics position was
known by the inbound French liner La Lorraine
and the Cunarder Lucania both some eighty
miles to the eastward Of the disabled ship, and
that they coming through the fog to render
assistance.

accustomed to hard physical labor, took to the
oars and helped the crews About a dozen
women suffering from fright and exposure faint

they were hauled up TO the deck Of the Florida
Captain Sealby stayed by his ship. He ex-
pressed some relief to know that the transfer
had been made without mishap, and then turned
his attention to saving his ship.

Occasionally Binns would stop and listen, and
within hour after his first message sent
he got a response from Siasconset saying that
