ADDS ITS HORROR
Little Hope for Those Aaoat
in Boats and on
Rats.

Tho appalling magnitude of the
wreck OF the giant liner Titanic, has
been but little mitigated by the frag.
mentary Information which filtered In
today.
The rescuing steamer. the Car
pathia, has 86S survivors aboard, ac.
cording to the latest news received
at the Offices Of the White Star Line
here today. This increases the list OF
hrst reported. But except for this
the favorable details are insignificant
compared with the supreme fact tina,
the Titanic Is at the bottom of the
Atlantic and that the shattered wreck
took with her about 1850 victims to
their death.
The first reports giving the total OF
the survivors at SIS, was varied by
more favorable news early today. the
first from Capt. Rostron Of the Car
pathia. who gave the number at about
nouncement Of the White Star Line
that there are 868 survivors of the tt.
tantc aboard the Carpathia.
But with these revised figures there
remain 1,341 Of the passengers and
the crew Of the Titanic who today
are unaccounted for.
Hope clung desperately this morn
Ing to the belief that the steamers
Virgtnian and Partisan Of the Allan
Line may have picked up survivors
in addition to those aboard the Car
pathia, but this was practically dis

risian had no survivors aboard and
