is q bitter enemy Of Louisiana s

in his power to ruin Louisiana.
But Hall is from the hills of

he eare for the sugar industry of

She quickly listed to starboard and
a shower OF ice fell on the forecastle
deck. Shortly before she sank she
broke in two, abaft the engineroom,
and as she disappeared beneath the
water the expulsion Of air caused
two explosions which were heard
plainly by the survivors adrift.
A moment more and the Titanic
had gone to her doom with the fated
hundreds grouped on the after deck.
To the survivors they were visible to
the last and their cries and means
were pitiable.
Colonel Archibald Oracle, U. s. A.,
the last man saved, went down with
the vessel, but was picked up.
Colonel Oracle told a remarkable
story of personal hardships and de-
MED emphatically the reports that
there had been any panic on board.
He praised In the highest terms the
behavior Of both passengers and the
crew, and paid high tribute to the
heroism of the women passengers.

Aston was deserving the highest
praise" Colonel Oracle declared.
