The Sable Island cable ship Nina,

Storms Sweep Fatal Spot.
Late messages from the sea picked
up by the Marconi people said that
thunderstorms had swept the area
where the Titanic went down. Storms
were interfering with the transmits
sion of messages.
Z. A. 5. Franklin, vice president of
the International Merchant Marine,
confirmed the estimate that the loss to
the White Star company through the
sinking Of the Titanic would be about
100000. Mr.. Franklin said that the
total insurance on the Titanic was So

taken by the company. He figured
that the cost of the Titanic in building
and for equipment was between ST.
100000 and $4,000, 900. Mr.. Franklin
said that the insurance had been taken
by companies in this country and
abroad.
The company had nothing to do with
the cargo, which was insured by the
shippers, as is customary.
He said he had no way to estimate
the personal loss to the passengers.

nearly all Of the men Of the Titanic's
company went down with the shin
