Then the gates were closed and with
only the motorman and conductor
aboard, they were sent through to their
terminus. there to turn about and start
back to Tenth Avenue, where the gates
were opened again.
The automobile parking space in
front OF the piers was marked off with
ropes strung from posts some twenty
feet apart, and dotted with swinging
green traffic lanterns. Three police
men clustered about each post ready to
repel any attempted invasion
Fifteen automobile trucks from n big
department store drew up in front Of
Pier 60 shortly before . o'clock. Each
was fitted with seats ana capable of
holding twentyfour persons. There
was stretcher tucked beneath the
seats In each truck, and three nurses
accompanied them. They carried 900
blankets
From the same store came four tour

turned on the Titanic.
AS early as $50 O'Clock more than
900 relatives and friends OF the rescued
ones aboard the Carpathia had reached
the pier. Some 1000 pier passes had
been given out, and by o'clock it
seemed that the holder of the last one
OF these must have arrived. Customs
men directed them to take positions;
under the customs alphabetical guide
arrangement, each under the initial OF
the survivor for whom lie or sho was
waiting.
III the stream of folk which was con-
stantly passing into the pier came a
committee from the New York Stock
Exchange. carrying $4,000 in cash to
be distributed among those who needed
financial assistance. The money had
been raised on the Exchange by pop

the cars felt that they were racing with
death, and In some instances it was
almost so.
But at Fifteenth Street Inspector
Russell and several hundred policemen
held the autos up. 1t was not that the
police would delay their arrival at tho
pier toward which they had raced. But
police lines had been formed which ex-
tended from Seventh Avenue west to
Tenth, and from Seventeenth Street
south to Eleventh. Tho autoists were
passed through the brcastworks of this

The steamship was eff her pier at
o'clock. and though many on the pier
could not see her. they knew she was
there. and the worst period OF waiting
or the whole night began as the Car
pathia fingered in mldstream. to drop
the Titanic's lifcboats that they might
| be lowed to the White Star pier.
The ports in the big inclosed pier of
the Cunard Line were opened and
through them the waiting hundreds. al
most frantic with anxiety over what
the Carpathia might reveal, watched
her as with nerve-dcstroying leisure
she swung about In the river, dropping

was dark in the river. but the lower
ing Of the boats could be seen from
the Cnrpathia's pier and a deep sigh
arose from the multitude there as they
caught this first glimpse OF something
associated with the Titanic.
Then the Carpathia started for hey
own pier. The minutes passed while
the crowd stood in anxious silence. II
grew to be 9:i0 o'clock-fifteen, twenty
past, and, finally. half past nine.
The Carpathia. however. was Very

And now the Carpathia hld sol a line
on to the pier ana was warping slowly
TO her moorings. Ii took only minutes,
scarcely more than seconds, to make
the big liner fast to the pier, bur these
minutes proved period of waiting the
suspense OF which was almost too much
for the hundreds gathered TO greet
friends and relatives or to learn, with
certainty at last. that those for whom
they watched would never come ashore.

The throng inside the pier was
strangely quiet. Here and there a wo-

CANARY BIRDS SING
While Bodies Are Buried at
Sea-A Choir of 5000

Philadelphia, Penn, Dec. 49,. Eight
thousand Hartz Mountain canary birds
sang together in a mighty requiem
chorus as the bodies of two steerage
passengers were buried at sea from the
steamship Bradenbnrg. off the banks of
Newfoundland. at dawn last Thursday.
Laveta Floria, an immigrant girl, ON
her way to Wheeling, w. Va, aud
Johanna peil, an infant, died WedneN-
day after a few hours illness. The
captain determined to bury them to-
gether before the passengers left their
berths.
When the matches were opened to
bring ont the bodies. a flood of light
was let into the portion of the hold &C.
oupied by 8, 600 caIaries, being brought
to this country for the holiday trade.
Instantly the birds, which had been
kept In darkness throughout the voy-
age, burst forth into trebel chirps, ore
initiating another, until the entire
5000 we're singing. The music con
tinued until the bodies splashed into
the sea and sank from sight. Then the
matches weIe shnt down again and the
singing gradually subsidized.
When the B~randenbeig started up the
Delaware river light again was let lin.
to the hold and the birds sang during
the entire river trip The passengers
regarded this as a ceremony of rejoic-
\ ing at the completion of a most rurbu-
lent trip. The Brandenberg left Brem
en- on November 80, and almost every
mile OF the way across the Atlantic
was rough. Winter gales swept her
decks aud buffeted her about like a
small boat. The passengers were not
permitted on deck most of the time,
but were forced to fret below, in half
darkness. Hundreds of them were
sick. some seriously
1t was n until the Delaware break
water was sighted that the passengers
felt safe.
