LARGEST SHIP SINKS
GREAT OCEAN LINER TITANIC
GOES DOWN AFTER coLLI-
SION WITH ICEBERG.
Passengers Are Saved BY Llfeboats
as Weather Conditions Are Favor
abIe-Other Ships Notified
by Wireless, Hasten
to Aid.

New York.-The new White Star
liner Titantic, the largest vessel in
the world, was struck by an iceberg
two days before she was due to ar.
rive in New York harbor, and sank
in few hours. The weather condi.
tions were favorable and tidings of
the disaster sent by wireless brought
other vessels to her aid and all of the
passengers were taken safely off. The
ship, however, is a total loss.
The Titanic is S82 feet inches long,
has beam of 92 feet inches, dis
places $4,000 tons, and is of $4,000
tons net register. She can carry 5000
passengers, 600 in the saloon, 500 in
the second cabin and 1900 in the
steerage, while she has a crew of $50.
She is commanded by Capt. Ted
Smith, formerly commander of the
Olympic, her sister ship, which is now
in this port.
The ice fields encountered by the
Titanic, and through which, by reason
of her great length, she was unable to
pick away with the facility of small
er vessel, were described by the crew
of the Cunarder Carmania as the most
treacherous which the oldest sea-
farers among them could recall.
