MIR. BeasIey of London.

New York. April 1S.-Folowng is the
account of Mr.. Beasley of London:
The voyage from Queenstown had
been quiet and uneventful; very fine
weather was experienced and the sea
was quite calm. The wind had been
westerly to southwesterly the whole
way, but very cold, particularly the
last day. in fact after dinner, Sum
day evening, it was almost too cold TO
be out on deck at all. | had been in
nay berth for about 10 minutes when.
81 about Ills p. NJ. felt a slight jar
and then soon after a second one, but
not sufficiently large to cause any
anxiety to any one, however nervous
they may have been. However, the en-
gines stopped Immediately after
wards ard my first thought was she
has lost a propeller. I went on the top
tboat GeeO in a dressing gown. and
found only a few people there, who
had cume up similarly to inquire why
we had stopped, but there was no sort
CT anxiety i'm the minds of anyone, We
saw through the smoking room win
dow game of cards going on, and
went to inquire If they knew any
thing: 1t seems they felt more of the

had seen a huge iceberg go by close
to the side of the boat. They thought
we had Just grazed it with a slanc-
ing blow, and the engines had been
stopped 10 see if any damage had been
done. Ne one, of course, had any con-
ception that she had been pierced be-
low by part of the submerged iceberg.
The game went on without any
thought of disaster, and | retired to
my cabin to read until we went on
again. / never saw any of the players
or the onloollers again. A little later,
hearing people going mp stairs | went
out again and found everyone wanting
Ia know why the engines had stopped.
No doubt many We're awakened from
sleep by the sudden stopping of n vi
bration to which they had become accus-
toned during the four days we had been
on board Naturally, with such powerful
engines at the Titanic carried the vibra-
ton was very noticeable all the time and
the sudden stopping had something the
same effect as the stopping of loud
ticking grandfathers clock in a room.
'sOn going on deck again I saw there
was an undoubted list downwards from
stern to bows. but. knowing nothing of
what happened, concluded some of the
front compartments had filed and weigh

on warmer clothing and as / dressed
heard an order shouted: 'All passengers

walked slowly up with them tied on over
our clothing, but even then presumed
this was wise precaution the captain
was taking and that we should return in
a short time and retire to bed There
was total absence of any panic or any
expressions of alarm, and I suppose this
can he accounted for by the exceedingly

A Passengers Story.

\ passenger on the Carpathia made
the following statement:
Il was awakened at about 1890 at
night by connection on the decks
which seemed unusual, but there was
no excitement. As the boat was NOV
ing | paid little attention TO it, and
went to sleep again.
AT J o'clock | again awakened. |
noticed that the boat had stopped. l
went 10 the deck. The Carpathia had
changed her course. Lifeboats We're
sighted and began to arrive, and soon,
one by one, they drew up to our side.
There We're Is in all and the trans :
ferring of the passengers was most
pitiable The adults were assisted III
climbing the rope ladders by ropes ad :
justed to their waists. The little chill
dren and babies were hoisted to the
deck in bags.
Some OF the boats We're crowded.
a few were not half full. This, / could
not understand. Some people were in
full evening dress, others were in their
night clothes and wrapped in blankets.
These, with immigrants in all sorts of
shapes, were hurried into the saloon,
indiseriminately for hot breakfast.
They had been in the open boats four
and five hours in the most biting air
| ever experienced.
There We're husbands without
wives; wives without. husbands, par
ents without children. and children
without parents. But there was no
demonstrations, No sebs. They seem
ed 10 be stunned. Immediately after
breakfast Divine services were held ir
the saloon.
"One woman died in the lifeboats:
three others died after reaching our
decks. Their bodies were buried at sea
at > o'clock that afternoon. None of
the rescued had any clothing except
what they had on, and a relief com
nittee was formed and our passengers
contributed enough for their Immediate
needs
When her lifeboats pushed away
from the steamer, the steamer was
brilliantly lighted, the band was play
ing. and the captain was standing on
the bridge giving directions. The bow
was well submerged and the keel rose
high above the water. Suddenly the
boat seemed to break in two. Then
next moment everything disappeared
tfdt iNDiS were ST. CiOS6 ~ TIE SlHhlnS
steamer that they feared the lifeboats
would be drawn into the vortex.
They were preparing for bril-
liant party tn be given on board the
next evening. ON her way back we
steamed along the edge of field Of
ice which seemed limitless. As far as
the eye could see to the north there
was, no blue water At one time l
counted 2S icebergs"
The statement was signed by Sam
uel Goldenberg, chairman. and com
mittee of some % passengers.
