RECOMMEND
SAFEGUARDS

New York, April 19.--The following
statement by a committee of the IL
tanic survivors, prepared for the press
on board the Carpathia, describes the
disaster and recommends radical
changes in the present conduct OF
ocean liners. Although the statement
was given out as signed by a COM
mittee OF passengers their signatures
were omitted owing to the confusion
when the Carpathia docked.
The Statement.
I'VE the undersigned surviving pas
sengers from the steamship Titanic.
in order TO forestall any exaggerated
statements, deem il our duty to give
to the press statement Of the facts
which have come to our knowledge
and which we believe to be true.
"On Sunday, April IA, 1912, at about
l1:4O j. m. on a cold starlight night,
in smooth sea and with no moon.
the ship struck an iceberg which had
been reported to the bridge by the
lookouts, but not early enough to
avoid the collision. Steps were taken
to ascertain the damage and save the
passengers and the ship. Orders were
given to put on life belts and the boats
were lowered. The ship sank at about
2:2O a. m, Monday and the usual dis
tress signals were sent out by wireless
and rockets at intervals from the ship.
Fortunately the wireless message was
received by the Cunards about a. m.
Monday.
The officers and crew OF the steam
ship, Carpathia, had been preparing
all night for the rescue and comfort
OF the survivors and the last mention
ed We're received on board with the
most touching care and kindness,
