sci picked up any passengers of the
sinking liner, this might mean that
few of the men on board had been
saved, as the proportion of women
and children among the passengers
was large. The same facts would like
wise spell the doom of the entire crew
of about $50.
In the cabins were 23o women and
children, but it is not known how
many there were among the 740 third
class passengers.
In the first cabin there were 1928
women and Is children and in the
second cabin 70 women and 8 chill
dren.
Untold wealth was represented
among the passengers of the Titanic,
there being on board at least six men
each of whose fortunes might be
reckoned in tens of millions of dol

wealth represented in the first-class
passenger list would reach over half
a billion dollars.
