Titanic, and this rule was strictly OBJ
served. Nevertheless, before the or
der had been given, she had told Vim
cent Astor some of her memories. She
thought she recalled seeing Col. Astor
by her side just before she got into
one of the boats. She imagined he
was safe too, and it was only when
she was on the Carpathia that she
realized that he was not among the
rescued.
Like most Of the other survivors,
Mrs. Astor was too stunned at first
to recall any of the incidents of the
sinking ship She had hoped some
other vessel would pick Col. Astor up,
and when she realized at last that
all hope of this was gone she was
much distressed.

The lights Of the Titanic were stlll
shining, but she was sinking steadily
by the bow. The screams of men and
women began to increase in volume.
From the lifeboats the huge Titanic
loomed huge mass of blackness, dot.
ted with countless tiny lights. None
of these illuminations were sufficient
to reveal either face or incident But
these lights were steadily sinking be-

Women Row Lifeboat.
In the hurry of embarking, one OF
the lifeboats had been lowered without
a single sailor in it. Three men had
been picked up by this boat, but the
women were rowing. And the women
between the thwarts were screaming
to their loved ones in agony.
Then, suddenly, above all the wall

The lifeboats were pulling from the
scene as fast as they could. But while
they were still within sight of the ship
the lights began to go out with start
ling swiftness.
The screams and shouts of those on
board still resounded through the air.
The last light went out and the

Titanic Was Running at Full Speed.
The ocean was calm as mill-pond
when the Titanic crushed into the ice
berg. 1t was quarter of an hour be-
fore midnight. Most of the passengers
were in their cabins.
Then came the shock of collision
not so violent a crash as had been de-
picted, for there were many who were
not even awakened by it-but enough
to disquiet all who felt it. There was
general and orderly exodus to the
decks.
Sailors wero scurrying hither and
thither crying:
NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF!
THERE'S NO DANGERIn
Some Of ths passengers even return
ed to their rooms and prepared to re-
tire. But gradually the cessation of
the engines vibra tion caused uneasi-
ness and the groups on the decks grew
greater and greater, Still the sailors
announced that there was nothing to

The sailors helped the nearest wo-

there were no witnesses until an hour
afterward, when the lifeboats were all
in the water.
Heroism Asserts Itself.
The ship had now listed to terrible
angle. Men, in the throes of panic,
attempted to reach the boats and were
pushed back. And in that moment
the heroism of hundreds asserted it.
self. 1t was the passengers who push
ed back these panic-stricken few and
not the sailors. OF the individual
deeds of heroism only few have as
yet been told. But those few are the
fore-runners of thousands.
Soon most of the boats had been
lowered and still a full realizing sense
of the extent of the disaster had not
dawned upon all that mass of men.
But, finally, all the boats had been
lowered. Then, the sailors, seeing wo'
men standing and running about,
cried:
"All women to the lower deck!"
There began a rush to the lower
deck, and there it was that the nearest
semblance to panic began. Some of
the women were seized by sailors and
deliberately thrown over the rail into
the boats.
The weaker men, by scores, began
to jump overheard. The lifeboats be-

Several more pistol shots we're

suddenly, above the murmur of the
sea and the crunching of the ice foes
there rose a steadily increasing cry

hundreds upon hundreds of voices

Men Laughed as Boats Filled.


Thus far the men, standing idly by,
failing entirely to grasp the signif-
canee of the moment, had helped the
sailors. Many of the passengers re-
port that the men were laughing.
"Well be safer here on the ship
than in that cockle-shell!" one man
cried to his wife as she was helped
over the rail.
But the Titanic settled deeper in the
ocean and it was difficult for the men
to remain on their feet. Then it was
that the appalling nature of it dawned
upon thpse men. And then. also il
was, that the officers of the ship drew
their revolvers.

to lifepreservers. We heard these
cries for fully two hours, while we

Then the cries died down and finally
all was still, except the noise of the

waters.

THRILLING ACCOUNTS OF
HEROlSM AND SACRIFICE
BY TITANIC SURVIVORS.

Tales of horror were told by the
survivors of the Titanic wreck when
they landed from the steamship Car
pathia.
Men and women related in detail
how the big ship had crushed against
the iceberg, but how the jar was SO
slight that no one was excited until
the ships officers and crew began low
ering the lifeboats and RATS and Or
dering passengers into them.
The Titanic's boilers exploded when
water rushed in upon them, and it was
the opinion of some of the survivors
that many who had been left on the
sinking Titanic were killed by the ex-
plosions and not drowned.
Most graphic was the story told by
Mrs. Paul Schabert, of Derby, Conn.
After telling of how Mr.. and Mrs. Isa-
dor Straus perished together, because

'As we left the ship it was the most

lights were burning and the band was

Mrs. Schabert was asked in regard
to a rumor that Major Butt, military
aide to President Taft, had shot eight
men to keep them from upsetting life
boats by crowding into them.
Mrs. Schabert answered that she |
was unable to either confirm or deny |
this She said she had seen no such |
thing, but that the confusion was such |
she might not have seen it, even if it
had happened.
