PART BRIDAL COUP. S
ONLY One of Ten Was Not Separated
Before Titanic Went
Down.

New York, April 1S.-There were ten
bridal couples aboard the Titanic, and
only o.e of them was not separated.
This fortunate young couple, in an i'll
terview given on the pier, said they
were the only ones who did not be-
come separated, all Of which, they
maintained, was due to the fact that
there was no panic at first. The bride
groom. therefore, was allowed to enter
the boat with his bride. The lucky
couple got away from the pier shortly
after their experiences had been told
to the reporter by a man on the pier.
He said he believed they were Mr.. and
Mrs George Harder.
1.-THE groom said the reporters in
formant, related an incident to me OF
q man less fortunate than himself.
This man, the groom told me, just be-
fore the panic set in was standing at
the gangwav where the women were
being loaded into a boat and made a
move as though to enter the boat. An
officer approached and ordered the man
away. Not moving quickly enough to
satisfy the officer, the latter walked to
the man and knocked him down The
man, instead of falling to the deck, fell
head first into the boat, and, though
stunned by the fall, he soon revived
and found himself still in the boat,
which by that time was being lowered.
The man was saved as result.

HOME BURNS; FOUR DEAD
Canadian Farmers Three Children
and Hired Man Perish.

Prince Albert, April 23.-Four per-
sons were burned to death in fire
which destroyed the residence of Rob
ert Adamson, a farmer three miles
west of Shelbrook. The dead are,
Hazel Naimo, aged eight, Cecil, aged
six, Horace, aged 8, John Ruhlban,
the hired man.
The details of the fire indicate that
Mr.. Adamson who slept down stairs
got I'D and started the fire in the
cook stove. He called the hired man
who answered and then went down to
the barn. A few minutes later, on
hearing screams, he ran back to find
the house in flames. He succeeded in
getting ladder up to the upstairs
window and pulled at the bed clothes
but could not find the children.
In the meantime, Mrs. Adamson
who was severely burned about the
arms, called to the hired man to throw
the children out of the window, but
getting no response, she attempted to
get out of the door but was unable
TO open it and had to escape by the
window with the baby in her arms.

HEROIC CREW GIVE UP THEIR LIVES

Futrelle and Other Notables Go to Their
Death With Equal Heroism.

New FORK, April Io.-SeVenteen hGn-

ty-fve minutes after OF the THAMES

John Jacob Aston, Henry B. Harris,

list Of first cabin passengers.
The bulk head system, though prob
ably working, prevailed only to delay
the ships sinking.
EXPLOSIONS BREAK SHIP IN TWO
The position of the ships wound on
the starboard quarter admitted ICY
water which caused the boilers to eX-
plode and those explosions broke the
ship in two.
The crash against the iceberg, which
had been sighted at only quarter of
q mile, came almost simultaneously
with the click OF the levers operated
from the bridge which stopped the en-
gines and closed the air-ught doors.

THAT the Titanic's speed, nearly %
knots an hour, was not slackened
THAT the number of the life boats
on the Titanic was insufficient to ac-
cOmodate more than a third of the
passengers to say nothing of the crew.
Most members Of the crew say there
were sixteen life boats and two col
lapsibles; none say there were more
than twenty boats in all.
The 700 who escaped filled most of
the sixteen lifeboats and the one col
lapsibe, which got away to the limit
Of their capacity.
Had the ship struck the iceberg
headon at whatever speed and with
whatever resulting shock, the bulk
head system Of watertight compart-
ments would probably have saved the
vessel. AS one man expressed it, it
was the impossible that happened
when, with shock unbelievably light
the ships side was torn for a length
which made the bulkhead system inef-
fective.
WAS SPEEDING FOR RECORD.
1.-THE Titanic was 1879 miles from
Queenstown and 1,191 miles from New
York. speeding for a maiden voyage
record. The night was starlight, the
sea CLASSY. Light were out in most of
the state rooms, and only two or three
congenial groups remained in the pub
lie rooms.
I'm the crows nest, or lookout, and
on the bridge, officers and members OF
the crew We're at their places await
ing relief at midnight from their two
hours watch.
AT Has o'clock came the sudden
sound Of two guns, warning of i'm
mediate danger.
1.-The crash against the iceberg,
which had been sighted at only a
quarter of a mile came almost stimuli
taneously with the click Of the levers
operated by those on the bridge, which
stopped the engines and closed the
water tight doors.
Captain Smith was on the bridge a
moment later, giving orders for the
summoning of all on board and for the
putting on Of life preservers and the
lowering Of the life boats.
THE first boats lowered contained
more than passengers than the later
ones, as the men were on deck first
and not enough women were there to
fill them.
DREW DIDN'T HAVE TO USE RE-
VOLVERS.
when a moment later, the rush OF
frightened women and crying children
to the deck began, enforcement of the
women first rule became rigid. Officers
loading the boats drew revolvers but
In most of the cases the men, both
passengers and crew, behaved in a
way that called for no such restraint.
RUMORED THAT CAPTAIN SHOT
HIMSELF.
Revolver shots heard by many per-
sons shortly before the end Of the Ii
tanic caused many rumors. One was
that Captain Smith shot himself, an
other was that First officer Murdoch

NONE WAS ALARMED AT FIRST.

II was in the smoking room reading
near a bridge whist game at one Of
the tables. When the crash came
said, We've hit something" and went
on the starboard side to look. None
Of us was alarmed. 1t occurred to me
that We might have bumped some
small craft.
Il went back in the smoking room
with the others. One of the bridge
players had not left the smoking room
at all and was waiting impatiently for
the others to come back and resume
the game. They returned and took up
their hands and we were all about to
settle down when an officer ordered US
on deck and told us to get into the
boats
NOT ENOUGH WOMEN TO FILL
THE FIRST BOAT.
There not being enough women On
deck to fill the first ones, we did not
like the idea of leaving the ship then,
but did as we were told. Had we been
IN our rooms we would have had to
stand aside as other men did then
