succor, came into New York tonight
with the first news direct from the
White Star liner Titanic, which
sank of the Grand Banks of New
foundland early last Monday morn
ing.
The great liner went down with
her band playing, taking with her
to death all but 74j OF her human
cargo OF 2,3iO souls To this awful
death list six were added. one died
IN the liIeboat when ii put OFF from
TIE liners side and five subsequently
succllmbed on the rescue ship Car
pathia The list of prominent men
missing stands as previously report
ed, and the total death list as
brought to port tonight by the Car
pathia is 1,6Ol.
Survivors in the lilebOats huddled
in the darkness at a safe distance
from the stricken ship and saw her
go down.
As to the scene on board when
the liner struck accounts disagree
widely. Some maintain that a com
paratiye calm prevailed, others say
that wild disorder broke ont and
that there was a maniacal struggle
for the lifeboats That the line:
struck an iceberg as reported by
wireless was confirmed by all.
Sensational rumors, told by hys-
terical passengers who would not
give their names, said that Capt.
Smith had killed himself on the
bridge: hat the chief engineer had
taken his life; that three Italians
We're shrt in struggle for the boats.
These rumors could not be con
firmed in the early confusion at
tendant upon the landing of the
survivors.
Ripped from stem to engine room
by the great mass OF ice she struck,
the Titanic's side was laid open as
if by a gigantic tan opener. She
quickly listed TO starboard and a
shower of ice fen on the forecastle
deck. Shortly before she sank, she

How the Titanic Sank.

New York, Apr.l lS.-How the Ii
tanic sank is told by Charles F.
Hurd, a staff correspondent of the
Evening World who was passen-
ger on the Carpathia. and who to-
night furnished that newspaper with
his account.
lie gives the number of lives lost
as 100. He praises highly the cour-
age of the crew, hundreds of whom
gave their lives with heroism,
which is equaled but not exceeded,
the account says, by that of John
j. Astor, Henry b. Harris, Jacques
Futrells and others in the long list
of first cabin passengers.
1t was the explosion of the boil
ers, according to Mr.. EIurd's ac-
count, which finally finished the ii
tanic's career. The bulkhead sys-
TEN, though probably working, pre-
vailed only to delay the ships sink
ing. The position of the ships wound
on the starboard quarter admitted
icy water, according to Hurd's sto-
ry, which caused the boilers to ex-
plode, and these explosions broke
the ship in two. The ships string
band gathered in the saloon near
the end. the narrative says, and
played Nearer, My God to Thee.
The account continues:
The crash against the iceberg,
which had been sighted at only
quartermile distance, came almost
simultaneously with the click OF
the levers operated at the bridge,
which stopped the engines and
closed the water-tight doors. Capt.
Smith was on the bridge a moment
later, summoned all on board to put
on life preservers and ordered the
lifeboats lowered.
THE first boats had more male
passengers, as the men were the
first to reach the deck. When the
rush of frightened men and women
and crying children to the deck be-
gan the women first rule was rig
idly enforced.
Officers drew revolverS, but in
most cases there was no use for
them. Revolver shots heard short
ly before the Titanic went down
caused many rumors-one that Capt.
Smith had shot himself, another that
First Officer Murdock had ended his
life, but members of the crer- ais
credited these rumors.
NCapt. Smith was last seen on the
bridge, just before the ship sank,
