haitian described last night how she felt
when abe heard the Carpathia's whistle
sounding early in the morning. Mrs
Ogden asked her husband II there was
fog. Mr.. Ogden had left the stateroom
however. and did not explain until some
ten minutes later. The ship had then
slowed down perceptibly and Mrr. Ogden
was pretty nervous Then her husband
returned and told her that there had been
a great accident and that the Carpathis
was going to help.
"The passengers are asked to keep to
their rooms" he said. There isn't any
need Of being frightened. There's been
| no fire on our boat. but there has been ar
accident TO the Titanic"

to the Titanic was quite too ridiculous
to think Of. and in that she shared the i'm.
preston. which, 40 she learned afterward
was current upon the Titanic after the
latter had struck. Mrs. Ogden dressed
hastily and went out on deck
around to tread her way out Of the ice
fields. and her passengers had chance

, served as the incline down which the
weighted sacks slid into the sea.
