After RECORD
| Leaving Liverpool April !" on her
first trip across the ocean. the Titanic
was under orders 10 make a speed
record II possible. From the moment
she started until the instant she
struck the towering Iceberg. sh"
steamed az the RATE Oh '"eh'E'ohe
knots, tearing through the seas ike
an express tram. suddenly there was
a slight tremor that ran through the
long steel null ike shiN"r. Ihat was
all the snip went on her way.
Shock Was Slight.
Up on the bridge the first officer
feeling the jar. threw the switches
that controlled the wGter.tight bulk
heads. The mechanism refused tC
work. Noticing the sudden list of the
ship, he called the captain. Their
came word from the engineer that tho
iircrOOms we're flooding, and a mo
ment later the voice over the engine
room telephone announced that tho
engne-rOOm was also filling rapidly.
SO slight was the shock OF collision
that II was an hour after the accident
before the word was passed to the
passengers to put on life preservers
There was no panic. Directed by the
officers and members of the crew, the
passengers went to the boats, lined M
beside them and waited for further in
struCtions. At that time the ship was
sinking. The SURVIVORS say they could
feel her going as she widowed from
side TO side.
There was no stampede. no effort tc
crowd out the women and children
and the sick but perfect order, calm
obedience to the commands from the
officers hurrying about III sou'west"r'
and oilskins.
