 his bride placed in a lifeboat and safe ] ly rowed away. Colonel Astor wa drowned.
 The work of getting the lifeboat
 away, the work of allaying the fear
 of the great crowd of passengers al
 much as possible, the work of kenp
 ing the pumps in operation and tn.
 engines throbbing-these tasks ano
 countless others were directed b,
 Captain Smith, the venerable com
 mander of the Titanic, and before he
 advent the commander of the Olymplc
 who displayed such almost superhum
 an power of mind and body as the
 worlds most horrible sea disaster crowned his long and honorable serv
 ice on the high seas.
 A wireless from the Virginian says
 that the occupants of the small boats which she picked up have been trans ferred to the Carpathia, which is pro ceeding to New York.
 The Titanic struck the iceberg al 1925 last night and foundered at 2:2 this morning. At daybreak the Car pathi aarrived on the scene and her passengers and crew beheld only the small boats with their precious hun. an cargoes and dismal scene of the wreckage.
 Sinking by the head and women are being rushed into the lifeboats, 5 were the last words that sputtered in to the wireless room of the Virginian from the Titanic.
 All through the night and until her wireless station was silenced, over hundreds of miles of sea, from the antennae of the giant liner flashed the mystic and magic "S.O.S.," the worldwide cry of distress on the ocean. Every wireless operator with in range of the maimed vessel drop ped other messages to locate her, and meantime relayed the fatal three dots, three dashes and three dots to the world.
 The collision occurred in latitude fl 46 north and longitude sol west, 1150 miles east of New York and 45O miles south of Cape race, t:ta most easterly point of Newfoundland
 Contrary to earlier dispatches there was no storm when the vessel struck. The sky was clear and the weather was calm.
 Almost as soon as the Virginian h2d picked up the distress signal it was recordede by the operator on the Olynn- pie, the Titanic's sister ship, and, next to her, the largest vessel afloat Ttis was at midnight.
 At that hour the Olympic was 2A0l miles from New York en route to Souti aInI ton.
 T'e Olympic forged ahead under full Steam, but tonight's wireless dis patches indicate she reached the scene | too late to be of any assistance.

 The Parisian, according to her mes ;ages, reached the floatilla of rescu- ITS shortly after the Baltic.
 A wireless message from Captain Paddock tonight confirmed the fears If the White Star line officials that Ill but the 670 women and children vho escaped in the small boats from he $10,000,000 steamship had perish d. A part of this message was with leld, but enough was divulged to the ewspapers to make certain the appai ing extent of the catastrophe. Not until Captain Paddock flashed, Horrible disaster-all but 670 lost, would the White Star officials believe ' hat the mightiest ship ever launched t ad gone down on her maiden voyage. t The scene in the White Star line Of t ices tonight was pitiful.
