SHOCK so SLIGHT, DID
NOT RISE FROM BERTH.

NEW YORK, April 19.-Mrs. Asa
Clark, an Englishwoman, whose hus-
band went down in the big ship,
thought so little of the first crash
against the big berg that she did not
even rise from her berth for half an
hour afterward.
1.-THE shock was so slight that it die
not disturb me-" sale Mrs. Clark, land
my husband, who was just preparing
to retire, told me to go back to sleep
again. Then a ~stewardess came along
and woke me. Everybody on deck
she said, without any alarm in her
voice. There was no confusion in fill
ing the small boats. My husband put
me in, kissed me good-by and com
mended me to God. Even then we did
not believe that the situation was Sc
rious. After 1 got into the boat two
men tried to step in. An officer said
the boat was only for women, and
they stepped back without protest.
II was in my nightgown. The cold
reached my brain and everybody in
the boat was so benumbed that we
could not realize what a terrible thing
had happened. When somebody said
it's gone we sat there without show
ing any emotion"

Californian Comes Up
After Rescue Is Over.

"After we got the last boatload
aboard the California came alongside
and the captains arranged that we
should make straight for New York
and the California would look around
for more boats. We circled round and
round, though, and we saw all kinds of
w~reclSage. There was not a soul on
a stick of it and we did not get sight
of another soul
"While we were pulling in the boat
loads the women we saved were quiet
enough and not making any trouble at
all. But when it seemed sure we would
not find any more persons alive then
bedlam came. 1 hope 1 never go
through it again. The way those wom-
en- took on for the folks they had lost
was awful and We could not do any
thing to quiet them until they cried
themselves out.
'The fellows from the crew Of the
Titanic told me that lots more of them
could nave gotten away, only no one
would believe that their ship could
sink. Why one waiter who was saved
told me he was in a card game with
five more and some one put his head
in the door and shouted that the ship
was sinking. The boys jeered at him
and kept on playing. The mate who
told me got away. The rest of the
boys are out there yet.
"And they said also that more women
could have been saved only they would
not go without their husbands. The
officers pulled some of them apart
the women from the men-and showed
the women into the boats, telling them
that they wanted all the women to-
gether and all the men together. AND
ever then they couldn't get the half
of them to go.
"a woman passenger old me that n
beautiful old lady put her arms around
her husbands neck and neither the
officers nor her husband could get her
arms loose. And neither one of them
was saved"

Every Pound of Steam Used
to Hurry Carpathia On.

I'VE got hot coffee ready and laid
out blankets and made sandwiches and
everything Ike that. 1t seemed as II
every passenger on h boat knew
about the trouble and turned out.
Captain Rostrom had shut off the hot
water all over the ship and turned
every ounce Of heat into steam and
the old boat was as excited as n
Of us.
After we got things ready we went
out on deck. It was a glorious morn
ing; no swell in the sea-. but bitter
cold. The ships lights were in full
blaze and we were there in the middle
of a sea of ice-the finest sight I ever
saw.
Gust as It was about half day and
dark we came upon a boat. There
were eighteen men in 1t and it was in
charge of an officer. There were no
women in the boat and it was not more
than one-third filed. All Of the men
were able to come up the Jacobs lad
der on the Carpathia, which we threw
over the port side. Everyone of them
was given a hooker of brandy or as
much hot black coffee as he wanted.
After they were all OF board we pulled
up their boat.
ut was bright morning by now and
all around the Carpathia here and
there about a quarter mile apart, were
more boats. These were fuller than
the first and there were women in all
of them. The women were hoisted UP
in bo'sun's chairs and the men climbed
up the Jacobs ladder. Some of the
men, however, had to be hauled up.
especially the fremen. There were a
whole watch of iremen saved. They
we're nearly naked. They had jumped
overheard and swan after the boats. it
turned out, and they were almost
frozen stiff.
1.-THE women were dressed and the
funny thing about it Is only five Of
them had to be taken to the hospital.
Both the mems hospitals were filed
t~wenty-four beds in all. We got
twelve b~oat-loads, 1 think, inside of a
little more han an hour. Then be-
tween s:15 and $3.50 we got the last

DiCfum


Dictum
London.-The difficulties of the
clergymen and social reforms of more
enlightened countries in their efforts
to compel the fair sex to put more
cloth into their skirts pale into insig-
nificance beside the troubles of the
local governor of Inahmbane, British
East Africa, who has almost caused
a war by ordering the native maid
ems to attire themselves in European
garb.
The order particularly insisted that
the native women should not appear
in public without 81 irts under pain
of some grave pentlty not specified.
Never was an apparently innocent
sumptuary law received with such an
outburst of rebellion. The CONNER
cial council signed in a body and the
Indian store keepers who deal in the
articles of attire favored by the ma
tive ladies threatened to shut up shop
in protest. The native bellies took
even more drastic action by refusing
to come near Inhambane at all, with
the result that the town was soon in
danger of famine in vegetables,
eggs, poultry and other necessary
food supplies. The women who lived
in town prepared to leave.
The opposition became too hot for
the governor. who withdrew the OBJ
noxius decree. and the bellies of In
hambane again go about in their
scant native costumes.
