simultaneously on all the upper
decks as the ropes creaked with the
lowering of boats as they reached the
water, those in the boats saw what
those the decks could not see
that the Titanic was listing rapidly to
starboard- and that her stern was riS-
ing at a portentous angle. A rush
of steerage men toward the boats was
checked by officers with revolvers in
hand.
Some of the boats. crowded too
full to give those a chance, drifted for
a time. None had provisions or water.
there was lack of covering from the
ice and air and the only lights were
the still undimmed arcs and incandes-
cents of the settling ship. save for one
of the boats. There, a steward VINO
explained to the passengers that he
had been shipwrecked twice before,
appeared carrying three oranges and a
green light. The green light, many
of the survivors say, was to the ship
wrecked hundreds as the pillar of fire
by night. Long after the ship had dis
appeared, and while confusing false
lights danced about the boats, the
green lantern kept them together on
the course which led them to the Car
pathia.
LAS the end of the Titanic became
manifestly but a matter of moments
the oarsmen pulled their boats away,
and the chilling waters began to echo
splash after splash as passengers and
sailors in life preservers leaped over
and started swimming away to es-
cape the expected suction.
"Only the hardest of constitutions
could endure for more than a few mo-
ments such a numbing bath. The first
vigorous strokes gave way to heart
breaking cries of Help! HelpP and
stiffening forms were seen floating,
the faces relaxed in death.
Revolver shots were heard in the
ships last moments. The report
spread among the boats was that
Captain Smith had ended his life with
a bullet. Then it was said that mate
had shot a steward who tried to push
his way upon a boat against orders
None of these tales has been verified,
and many of the crew say the captain,
without a preserver, leaped in at the
last and went down. refusing cooks

New York, April 19.-The World tC
day publishes Carlos NJ Hurd's story
In detail. 1t follows:
Facts which 1 have established by
inquiries on the Carpathia as positively
as they could be established in view
of the silence of the few surviving Off
GERS are:
THAT the Titanic's officers knew
several hours before the crash of the
possible nearness of the icebergs.
That the Titanic's speed, nearly %
knots an hour, was not slackened.
THAT the number of lifebOats on tins
Titanic was insufficient to accommo-
date more than One-third of the pas
sengers, 20 say nothing of the crew.
Most members of the crew say thers
were Is lifeboats in all. The 200 who
escaped filed most of the 16 Hfeboate
and the one collapsible which got away
to the limit of their capacity.
Had the ship struck the iceberg
head-on at whatever speed and with
whatever resulting shock the bulkheaI
system of water-tight compartment
would probably have saved the vessel.
AS one man expressed it, it was the
impossible that happened when, with
a shock unbelievably mild, the ships
side was torn for a length which made
the bulkhead system ineffective.
1.-The first boats lowered contained
more men passengers than the later
ones, as tie men were on deck first,
and not enough women were there to
fill them.
when. a moment later. the rush of
frightened women and crying children
to the deck began, enforcement of the
women first rule became rigid. Off
GERS loading some of the boats drew
revolvers, but in most cases the men,
both passengers and crew, behaved ill
a way that called for no such restraint.
Members of the crew discredit al
reports of suicide and say Captain
Smith remained on the bridge until just
before the snip sank, leaping only af-
ter those on the deck had been wash
ed away. 1t is also related that, when
a cook later sought to pull him aboard
2 Hfeboat, he exclaimed: Let me go,
and jerking away, went down.
Drawn Down by Boat.
What became of the men with life
preservers? is a question asked since
the disaster by many persons. The pre-
servers did their work OIL supporting
their wearers in the water until the
ship went down. Many of those drawn
into the vortex, despite the preServerS
did not come up again. Bodies f1oatcd
on the surface as the last boats moved
away.
In the loading of the first boat re-
strictions of sex were not made, and
it seemed to the men who filed in be-
side the women that there would DE
boats enough for all. But the ships
officers knew better than this, and as
the spreading fear caused an earnest
advance towards the suspended craft
the order. Women first was heard, and
the men were pushed aside.

Shut Out Press Messages.
Captain Rostron's rule that per
sonal messages should take precedence
over press messages was not relaxed
even when Thursday a message from
Giuseppe Marconi himself asked the
reason why press dispatches were not
sent. The captain posted Marconf's
message on the bulletin board and be-
side it bulletin stating that no press
message, except bulletin to the Asso-
c1ated Press had been sent. The i'm
plfcation was that none would be sent
and the most urgent and respectful ap-
peals failed to change his determine
ton, which he seemed convinced, was
in the best interest of the survivors
and their friends"

TWO WHO JUMPED.
Leaped From Titanic When First Rush
of Wate- Came.

New York, April 19-S II. Bjornston
Stehanson OF Stockholm a lieutenant in
the Swedish artillery guards who was
first cabin passenger on the Titanic. said:
I was in the smoking room, talking
with Hugh Woolner, an Englishman,
when the crash came. We rushed to the
| deck A man at the rail told us he had
seen an iceberg fifty feet higher than the
top deck just go by. The lights did not

AN order came from the captain to
each of US to put on life belts. We went
to d lower deck, looking for the part OF
the ship that had been damaged when a
| sudden rush of water told US that we
We're about to go under.
Il said to Woolner: we had better
jump and we both jumped.
when we came up we found ourselves
beside collapsible life boat. We grabbed
it and were towed along for a few min
utes when the Titanic men who manned
the boat said they could take two more
passengers aboard and hauled in. A
second later fat man bobbed up in trout
of the life boat and he too was taken
aboard. The three OF us brought the gun
wales of the boat close to the water bur

I'VE were about 200 feet away from the
Titanic when we saw her lights go out
Thirty seconds later there was a roar and
we saw her settle slowly and then plunge,
head down, for the bottom 1t was quiet
for a moment. Then the persons aboard
the Titanic came to the surface and there
was the most terrible cry I have ever
heard.
just as the SeLlleu TOT the last
plunge, I saw one OF the officers shoot
his revolver into the air twice"
Heroism of the English sailors who
went down with the Titanic was the one
thing which most impressed Paul Chev-
ert, the Canadian sculptor who left thu
steamship in one of the first life boats
lowered. He said there was sign OF
cowardice among the male passengers or
the crew.
Il was off the Titanic before there was
any real panic" Mr.. Chevert said. Il
will take my hat off to the English sea-
men who went down with their ship and
to the men who manned the life boats.
Every man of them was a man. 1t was a
difficult matter to force some of those
who were rescued into the life boats. I
was literally thrown into the third boat

DIABETES
Treatment That Costs Nothing if 1t
Fails to Benefit.

Diabetes has long been considered
an incurable disease and the only
hope held out to patients has been to
proIong their years by abstemious liv-
ing. A newly discovered plant in Mex
leo called Diabetol herb has been
found to be a specific in the treatment
of diabetes, QUICKLY reducing the spe-
cific gravity and sugar, restoring the
weight and building up the system.
The treatment is very inexpensive;
s1OO worth of the herb will last two
weeks and will remove the worst
symptoms in the most aggravated
cases. Call at our store and see the
