and was in the chart room working out
positions most of the evening. He was
Just approaching the bridge on the
starboard side when the collision took
place and heard the sixth officer say
what it was. The impact was slight
He did not take it seriously and pro
ceeded to the bridge, where he found
the sixth officer the first officer and
the captain.
Boxhall heard Captain Smith ask
First Officer Murdoch what she had
struck and heard Murdoch reply that
she had struck an iceberg. MurdOck
added that he had put the ship hard
a-starbOard and run the engines full
astern. but II was too late; she had hit.
He saw Murdoch apply the electricity
that closed the water tight doors.
The stars were shining and it was Il
clear night. though there was no moon.
Boxhall went below to ascertain the
extent of the damage and returned to
the bridge and reported that he could
not see any damage. He inspected all
the decks and went into the lowest
steerage. but not into the cargo por-
ton of the ship. Captain Smith sent
him to find the carpenter and get him
to sound the ship. The carpenter told

left Southampton, Fleet said, he ask
ed for glasses and was told that there
were none. If he had had glasses he
could have seen the iceberg soon
enough to get out of the way.
Fleet put Off in lifeboat No. 6. Light
oller told him to get into that boat and
help the women in.

Lowe, although only twenty-nine
years old, mas been seaman for four
teen years He was on duty from .
p. N. to s p. IN. on the night of the ac-
cident, when he went below. He was
awakened by hearing voices, got up
and dressed and went on deck. The
passengers were wearing lifebelts and
were getting into lifeboats ready to go
overheard.
Fourth Officer BoXhall told him that
the ship had struck an iceberg. He
crossed to the starboard side and help
ed lower the lifebOats. When he was
working on boat No. 3 Mr.. Ismay, al
though he did not know Ismay's iden-
tity at the time, was anxious and eX-
cited and kept ordering him to 'lower
away" He then used harsh language
toward Ismay.
loves words to Mr.. Ismay We're
given to the committee on paper. He
said that had he obeyed Ismay and
lowered away quickly he might have
drowned all the persons in the life
boat. After Lowe had spoken to him
Ismay walked away and went to an
other lifeboat.
Lowe got into llfeboat No. IA, which
was roped TO four others. He waited
until the yells and shrieks Of the per-
sons in the water had subsidet 50 that
they would thin out, as he expressed
it, and then rowed among the wreck
age and picked up four persons.
Lowe says he fired seyeral pistol
shots as he was being lowered in his
lifeboat. 1t was Overcrowded, and he
was afraid 1t would double under him.
A number Of Italians were at the ships
rails ready to spring, and he fired to
keep them from jumping into the boat.
He was positive he did not hit any one.
Boxhall's Story.
Boxhall's story was dramatic. He is

they would drift around and later re-
turn to the ship. His lifeboat had for
ty persons in 1t and contained biscuits
and water, but had no occasion to use
either.
After the Titanic went down he heard
cries of distress, crying, moaning and
shouting from the persons In the wa
ter. He wanted to pull toward the
wreck His boat was 300 yards away,
and there was room in II for few
more persons. Everybody In the boat
said 1t was a mad idea of his, because
they had far better save what few
were In the boat than to go back to the
scene of the wreck and be swamped by
the crowds that were in the water
there.
Pitman said there was a continual
moan reaching his ears for an hour.
then the sounds died away gradually.
Lookout Fleets Story.
lookout Fleet is twenty-five years
old He has served four years as a
lookout and occupied the crows nest
on the Titanic from 10 to IL on the
night Of the tragedy. He discovered
he iceberg and gave warning Before
the vessel struck it.
Fleet was told to keep a sharp look
out for ice when he went on watch
He saw the iceberg right ahead-a
black mass-and reported it. He first
struck three bells and then telephoned
to the bridge. He got the answer
Thank you"
He remained in the crows nest TWEEN
~ minutes after the accident. The
ship did not stop after he gave the sig.
nal, not until she passed the iceberg
The jar of the collision was not enough
to disturb his position and did not
alarm him seriously.
The most sensational part of Fleets
testimony was his declaration that u
night glass would have saved the Ii
tanic and all on board. When the shir

Velvet BeanS-The Florida Farmers
Best Field Crop.

i WOULD like to tell how a Florida
= farmer raises feed for horses, cat
tie and hogs
Our largest profit is on our velvet
bean farm Our object in beans is
TO fatten meats for market, beef and
pork mostly. We save and carry all
the cattle and hogs through the sum-
mer that we can afford to. We let
them run In the woods until frost, as
we have plenty of open woodland
here in Florida. then we gather them
up and put them on the beans which
by this time are well grown. The
hogs eat the beans while the cattle
eat leaves and beans.
l have seen as much as whole
acre in one place on our farm where
you could not see the ground at all
Tor the profuse leaves and beans. we
also put our milk cows on the same
bean farm So you see we get our
beef, pork, milk and butter and sell
plenty to make nice little income
I have known my husband to buy
old work steers that didn't look ike
they ever could be fattened and put
them on the bean field and in TWO
months they would be ready for mar
ket.
We also save our own seed beans
We used to order them from some
seed farm as we did not know now
TO get the bean from the hull. put
as we have learned, I win give my
husbands method for hulling them.
First he has them spread out in the
sun for a day or so; then he has them
put into sacks, say about half q ou-
shell to the sack. We use just COM
mon corn sacks that we buy corn IN.
Then take some heavy piece OF woou
we use old axe Andles-and place
the sack of beans on some sollu
block and begin beating. You wouid
be surprised to see how quickly the
beans viii all come out OF the nuns
When planting beans we plant tWo
rows of corn and one of beans SO ps
the time the corn is matured ING
bean vines have pretty wen weighteu
the tops down. Then we cut the
tops from corn with all the Finss
that will stay on them. When Wea
