1.-THE Titanic was going twenty-three
knots an hour. She ripped herself
apart. There was no panic. 1t was
quiet. When the boats were lowered,
there were many who refused to go.
One of the most pathetic scenes was
the refusal of Mrs. IsadOr StrauS to
leave her husband. She remained
with him to the last.
when the first signal was given
to lower the boats, some of the crew
pressed forward. 1t was then that
the rally cry came through the meg
aphone from the bridge, BE Brit
ish, my men!' 1t was Captain Smiths
voice. Every man obeyed the com
mand and faced death calmly. They
knew there was no hope, and as the
seamen assisted the women and
children into the boats, they gave no
sign that they realized Captain
Smiths words BE British had sealed
their fate.
"They remained at their posts and
died like men,"

Such was the graphic description
of the conduct of the men response

the smitten Titanic, as told yester-
day by John Johnson, member OF
the crew, who took an oar in a life

He gave his version of how the

sengers stood unafraid on the deck
awaiting the inevitable hour; how
the lifeboats were lowered and how
husbands and wives said their last
farewells.
