Immediately afterward we saw the bear,
half way UP the opposite mountain side.
The hounds were all around him, and ocea-
sionally bit at his hind quarters; but he had
evidently no intention of climbing tree.
When we first saw him he was sitting up
on point of rock surrounded by the pack,
his black fur showing to fine advantage
Then he moved off, threatening the dogs,
and making what in Mississippi is called
walking bay.
He was sullen powerful beast and his
leisurely gait showed how little he feared
the pack, and how confident he was in his
own burly strength. By this time the dogs
had been after him for a couple Of hours,
and as there was no water on the mountain
side we feared they might be getting ex-
hausted, and rode toward them as rapidly as
we could. 1t was hard climb up to where
they were, and we had to lead the horses.
Just as we came in sight Of him, across
deep gully which ran down the sheer noun
tain side, he broke bay and started off,
threatening the foremost OF the pack as they
dared to approach him.

bear was in good condition In the fal

The most distressing stories are
those giving the experiences OF the
passengers In the lifehoats. These tell
not only of their own sufferings. but
give the narrowing details of how they
saw the great hulk of the Titanic
stand on end, stern uppermost, for
many minutes before plunging to the
bottom. As this awful spectacle was
witnessed by thr groups of survivors
in tho boats they plninly saw many of
those whom they had Just left behind

into the cause of the loss of the IL

hearing and that Mr.. Franklin and the
four surviving officers OF the Titanic
would appear for examination before
tho committee. lie said the course of
the examination would be determined
after the preliminary hearing. Mr.
Smith also WAS questioned as to the
speed at which the ship was proceed

against the end railing of the deck or
pacing slowly up and down. The boats
were swung out and lowered on A
deck. When they were at the level of
b deck where all the ladies we're col
lected, the ladies got in quickly. with
the exception of some who refused to
leave their husband. In some cases
they were torn from them and pushed
into the boats. but In some instances
they were allowed to remain because
there was no one To insist they
should go.
Looking over the side, one saw
boats from aft already in tho water,
slipping quietly away into the darkness
and presently the boats near 10 me
were lowered and with much ereaking

pulley blocks down the 30 feet Nnich
separated them from the water. An
officer in uniform came up as one
boat was lowered and shouted down:
