that after all she might have picked

The White Star Line officers in New

last, were free to admit there had
been horrible loss of life"
Accepting the early estimates Of the
fatality list as accurate, the disaster
is the greatest in the marine history

would be greatly reduced. This hope
still remains.
News Of the sinking Of the liner.
and the terrible loss of life in con-
sequence came early last evening with
all the greater shock because hope
had been buOyed up all day by re-
ports that the steamship, although
badly damaged, was not in a sinking
condition and that all her passengers
had been safely taken off. The mes
sages were mostly unofficial and none
came direct from the liner, so that
lurking fear remained of possible
bad news to come.
Shortly after o'clock last night
, there came flashing over the wires.
from Cape Race, within 400 miles of
where the lined had struck the ice
berg, word that at 2.2O o'clock Mon
