MET By DIR. j. II. MINAHAN.
DR. j. r. Minahan left Green Bay
for New York at the first report of
the disaster, and met his sister and
sister-in-law as they left the Carpa-
thia. Il rushed them to the Hotel
Aston" he said, they being the first
survivors to reach New York ho-
tel. Everythirs NJ done there for
them that was possible.
Mrs. Minahan will accompany my
sister and myself to our home in
Green Bay where she will remain for
couple of months or until she is
fully recuperated.
Mrs. Minahan and her sister-in-
law sustained many bruises and a
number of minor injuries in escap-
ing from the doomed ship and in be-
ing rescued by the Carpataia.
Had 1t not been for the British
coal strike, DR.. w. E. Minahan would
be alive today and his wife and sis
ter would never have been obliged
to endure the dreadful experience.
The Minahans had planned TO sail
from Queenstown, from which port
they boarded the Titanic. on another
steamer. Owing to the coal strike,
the schedule of boats was changed,
leaving the Titanic the only one con-
venient for the Wisconsin people to
sail on.
Singular, also. is the fact that be-
fore leaving Fond du Lac Dr. Nina
han increased the amount of his ac-
cident insurance $4,000.
I'm going on long trip" he re-
marked to the insurance agent, "and
something may happen. l feel that 1

TRAGIC END OF TRIP.

Mrs. Minahan, physically worn
out, neryously a wreck, burst into
historical sobs. 1t was at the same
station four months ago that she and
her husband, perhaps Fond du Laos
best known physician and surgeon,
had boarded the Twentieth Century
flyer, with Miss MsAahan, bound for
New York, whence they had planned
a delightful Mediterranean voyage.
They were happy party then. But
yesterday, as she left the train, Mrs.
Minahan realized that she was
widow-her husband had persisted
with the hundreds of others in the
most terrible accident in the annals
of marine history.
Mrs. Minahan tried in vain to re-
late the terrible story Before each
word there was the barrier of
throat choked with sobs, and it was
impossible to gain coherent idea
of what she and her sister had en-
dured during the few, though long
days, since the tragedy, until short
ly before she left on a Northwestern
train for the home of her brother in
Green Bay.

DIR. Minahan, his sister and my

on account of the frigid temperature,
which was even felt in the cabins.
In the salon of the first cabin party
was in progress, and before retiring
we had joined those in the salon for
while. Cards were played by some,

outside our door. My husband peer

John Jacob Aston running frantically
and shrieking: 1.-THE boats sinkingi
The boats sinkingl Help! Help!
Help
Both fully awakening from our
sleep we felt the huge ship reclin-
ing upon its portside. My husband
threw several blankets about me,
hurried into some clothes himself
and ran to the adjoining state room,
where Daisy was sleeping. After
throwing blanket about her, he
took us to the main deck, where we
found things in confusion. Life boats
were being lifted down into the sea
and two were already being put off
with frightened and hysterieal wom-
en- in them.
