CAPT. Moore read d long list Of messages

CAPT. Moore read d long list Of messages
from the Titanic intercepted by the Mount
Temples operator. It was virtually a com
pIete record Of the wireless appeals sent
out by the doomed vessel, and Senator
Smith complimented the witness for his
thoughtfulness In bringing it.
PA. S. Franklin. vice president of the
International Mercantile marine, was re
called. He had been examined twice be-
fore. Senator Smith again went over the
testimony taking with reference to the
time the White Star line had first received
authentic news of the sinking Of the II

AT q 80 a. M. April Is, I vas awakened
by the steward with a message from the
Marconi operator Of my ship which said
that the Titanic was sending out a c. @. D.
message"
what reply did you sendT" asked Sena-
tor Smith.
"None whatever, sir: we did not want to
stop these distress messages going out
and the operator said the Titanic could not
hear him. blew the whistle at once and
ordered the course toward the Titanic's
position. I dressed and went to the char
room. We steamed up and sailed about
by compass. We turned right toward the
Titanic. Then I went to the chief engineer
told him about the Titanic and to push up
the fires, wake up all extra firemen and got
them busy. I said, IF necessary give the
firemen lot Of room sir"
He added that when he got this message
from Titantic he figured that vessel was
about 40 miles away and he made for her
at about II knots an hour. The captain
said after he stopped a few minutes at 2:25,
ships time, to avoid the Ice, he proceeded
slowly on the course towards the Titantic,
He saw q small schooner coming from the
direction Of the Ttantic moving not more
than two knots an hour. When he saw her
at 8 a. M, she was, he estimated, about IL
miles from the Titantic. He thought the
light which Officer Boxhall Of the Titantic,
and others on the liner saw when the Titan
ic was firing the distress rockets and
flashing the Morse signal might have been
the light OF a tramp steamer which was on
his port bow.
z soon AFTER DISASTER.
II went slowly after S:25 o'clock and
reached very close the Htantic's position
at 4:3O Monday" he continued.
II saw no wreckage and no bodies, sir.
There was nothing but the ice and the
tramp steamer"
The officer was asked whether he heard
that certain Of his passengers had said
they had seen rockets fired by the Titanic.
Capt. Moore replied that all the passengers
were asleep, but that no had seen the state
ments In the newspapers.

LOOK PLEASANT.

We cannot, of course, all be hand
some,
And it's hard for US to be good;
We are sure now and then to be
lonely,
And we don't always do what we
should.
To be patient is not always easy,
To be cheerful is much harder
still;
But at least we can always be
II we make up our minds that we
will
And it pays every time to be kindly
Although you feel worried and blue;
If you smile at the world and look
cheerful
The world will soon smile back al
you.
So try to brace up-look pleasant
No matter how long you are down
Good humor is always contagious,
But you Danish your friends wher
you frown.
