by lifeboat 7, in which there were only
twenty passengers. NJ. Marechal said
that it could easily have taken on fifty.
In describing the scene that took place
later, he said:
When three-quarters of mile away
we stopped. The spectacle before our
eyes was, in its way magnificent. In a
very calm sea, beneath a sky moonless,
but sown with millions OF stars, the
enormous Titanic lay on the water.

visible. Suddenly every light went out.
What was happening on her after
deck at that moment must have been
heartrending. for We heard for more
than a half hour unceasing cries which
to describe would pass the power OF
language. A cry still more terrible and
long was heard. and the Titanic disap-
peared forever"

CRU|SERELECTR|C|AN
DECLARES WIRELESS
MEN WANTED GRAFT
Grew of the Chester Indig-
nant at Report Their Oper-
ators Are Inefficient.

PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-Charges
are made by the chief electrician of the
scout cruiser Chester, which was sent
to the aid of the Carpathia, that the
wireless operators on the Carpathia re-
sJsed to give any information to the
Chester because there was no money
IN It for the operators or for the wire
less company that has its apparatus on
the Carpathia."
The charge made by Harold Bride,
surviving operator of the Titanic. who
declared In a newspaper article under his
name that the operators of the Chester
are inefficient, also Is absolutely denied.
1t Is asserted that James Gaffney, chief
operator on the Chester, has been in
the service eight years and knows more
about wireless than any man In the
navy. He can send forty-five words a
minute, or twenty-seven more words
a minute than the Government requires
Frank Blackmoore, the scond operator
can send about thirty-f1ve words Il
minute. 1t also declared the operators
use the Continental code.
The Chester, in charge of Captain
Decker, arrived at League Island late
yesterday afternoon. Captain Decker
went into conference Immediately with
Commandant Grant, of the navy yard,
but refused to give out the subject
matter of the conference He was
shown the charges made by Bride
against the Chester wireless operator
and ridiculed them. Further than that
he refused to discuss the matter and
he refused to allow the operators to be
seen on the ground they might be sum-
moned before the Senate investigating
committee, and he does not wish to
anticipate their testimony.
The chief electrician Of the Chester
declared the vessel carried the most
powerful wireless equipment in the
navy, having a sending radius Of 1900
miles and a receiving radius of ], 400.
He declared the Chester was within
twelve miles of the Carpathia, and
asserted that even at that distance
the operators on the Carpathia re-
fused TO give the Chester any infor-
nation.
"The operator on the Carpathia fiat
ly told u.s." said the chief electrician
shat he was holding out to send
other messages and that he would
give us no information. Our operators
called continually but could get no
further response.
"There may be another reason why
the Carpathia refused to give us in
formation. We carry aboard the Ches-
ter the DE Forrest Wireless as we'll as
Whenever possible the Marconi operators
show their displeasure at the operators

With loves dear prize, and the ligh

And the pelf of their vanished years.
Rare stuffs fresh spun from the loom of life
And the garnered stores of truth,

And the wistful dreams of youth.

With these they freighted her,
Secure in the vows she made ,
For these they waited her
With hearts all unafraid.
But the traitor ship in league with death
Steered straight to her hellish tryst,
The ruthless demon with fiery breath
Sped straight through shine and mist
To where white specters throng in the
night
And the yawning sea depths frown,
While the awed stars quivered in tremulous
fright ..s
The perjured hulk went down.

The cursed thing went down.
