New York, Apr. 19.-The Steamer
Carpathia docked late last night and
landed 745 survivors of the wrecked
liner Titanic, including 206 of the
crew. All women and children were
saved, evcept wives who refused to
be separated from their husbands.
According to the story of a Titanic
officer the liner was wrecked by a
glancing blow against a submerged
iceberg, while going 21 knots an
hour. Astor and other prominent
men went down with the vessel while
the band played "Nearer My God to

the resolution adopted, said, "Yes-

"The Lord knows the habit of con-
demning public men without hear

with so much danger as our con-
demnation in crisis, when the pub
lie feeling is wrought up and de-
mands victim. At such time we
certainly should suspend judgment. I"
Mr.. McCumber declared the Amer

any one else for the Titanic disaster.

Carpathia, which had received the
Titanic's distress signals, BY Z o.

16 boats had been picked up and
their chilled and hungry occupants
welcomed over the Carpathia's side.
The Carpathia's passengers, who were
bound for a Mediterranean cruise,
showed every consideration for the
stricken and many gave up their
cabins in order that the survivors
of the wreck might be made comfort

and the women on the Carpathia will

On the cruise back to New York

anxious world wrote their stories
while their nerves were still un-
strung.

New York, Apr. 19-(SpeciaD to

745 survivors, accounts for the loss
of 1896 persons at sea off the New
Foundland banks early Monday morn

persons who had been rescued, max
ing the total number lost 1886. These
official figures magnify greatly the

Another passenger says there was
a panic when it was discovered that
all the boats were gone. Men tried
to make RATS of chairs and anything
they could secure. Others stood on
the rail and at a signal jumped into
the water in groups,
The Titanic sank slowly, deck at

sudden plunge. Quartermaster Moody
of the Titanic says First Officer Wilde
who was on the bridge when the
boat struck drew a revolver and kill

light haze before she struck. The
boat ran upon the submerged part
of the berg and broke her back. The
compartment doors could not close.

Passengers Tell of Disaster

FASS0UXcES lC11 O1 D1S3SVOT
The first stories of the Titanic di-
saster were told last night at New
York upon the arrival of the rescue
ship Carpathia and many conflicting
reports of the appalling catasthro-
pc were made. The death totals
vary from 1870 by. the American
Press Association and 1907 by the
Associated Press to 1875 by the Pull
itzer Publishing Co. The Titanic
struck an iceberg at 11:45 p. m.
Sunday and in two hours and thirty
five minutes later the largest ocean
liner in the world sank two miles to
the bottom of the Atlantic. An ex-
plosion of the ships boilers and the
bursting of the bulkheads due to the
inrushing icy seas broke the ship
in two.
The crash against the iceberg which
had been sighted at only q quarter of
mile, came almost simultaneously
\ s.ith. the click of the levers operated
from the bridge which stopped the
engines and closed the air-tight doors.
Captain Smith was on the bridge q
moment later. He summoned all on
board to put on life preservers and
ordered the life boats lowered. The
first boat had more male passengers
as they were the first to reach the
decks. When the rush Of frightened
men and women and crying children
to the decks began, "the women Arst"
rule was. rigidly enforced.
The o4acers drew revolvers but
in most cases there was no use for
them. Revolver shots. heard short
" before the Titanic went down. .caus'-

Smith had shot himself, another that

Help Call from the Titanic.
Harold Cotton, wireless operator of
the Carpathia, did not go to bed at
his usual time Sunday night and as a
result caught the first message of the
Titanic plight. He had been relay
ing messages to the Titanic on Sun
day night and shortly after eleven
o'clock bade the Titanic Good
Night"
Just as he was about to take the
receiver off his head the &c. @. D."
call sounded. This was followed by
the words "We've hit something:
Come at once"
Calpathia Goes to Ships Aid.
Cotton at once communicated with
the Carpathia's officers and her
course was at once changed in the
direction of the Titanic at full speed
of eighteen knots for the full dis
tance of sixty miles intervening be-
tween the two ships. Before Cotton
could make reply to the sc. @. D."
the Titanic's "I'm afraid we are
gone" Cotton sent word of the COM

ship.
The Titanic's speed of % knots an
hour was never slackened and she
was going at that speed when she
struck,
Ten thousand people gathered at
the New York docks Thursday night
to await the arrival of the great
funeral boat Carpathia. There were
millionaire friends and relatives of
the wealthy first class passengers,
and the poorly clad folks of the steer
age passengers.
Passengers say the Titanic hit the
iceberg while running at about 22
knots an hour. The, iceberg toppled
over into the boat killing many. The
stern rose high III the air. Passengers
in night clothing rushed to the deck.
Sailors tore women from their hus-
bands and threw them into the boats
and lowered them to the sea. More
than 500 men jumped into the sea.
After the boats were lowered there
were only a few sailors in the life
boats and the women had to pull the
oars shrieking for their husbands.
The accident happened at 1885
Sunday night. Women were in the
boats at 1915. The Titanic sank at
1900 o'clock Monday morning and
the Carpathia rescued the survivors
at $3.50 O'clock am.
All agree that only a slight jar
was felt as the vessel struck the ice
berg, but the engines were immedi-
ately stopped and the order shouted
''all passengers on deck with life
belts on.

survivors who were nearer to the
sinking liner told of hearing the
strains of Nearer My God to Thee"
played as the liner sank and some
of those in the lifeboats blended their
voices in the melody. Suddenly there
was mighty roar and the ship, al
ready half submerged, was seen to
buckle and apparently break in two
by the force of an explosion caused
when the water reached the hot boil
ers. The bow sank first for s<ul-
ly five minutes the stern was pois-
ed almost vertically in the air, when
suddenly it plunged out of sight.

their loved ones alive many women

not. They were nearly thousand

All of the passengers agree that the

that the accident was due to high

criminal carelessness.
