ces interrupted by sobs and ejacula-
tions told of brief moments of their
experience that had to be pieced to-
gether to make a coherent narrative.
1t was a narrative to thrill the soul
with horror. Darkness, sea of ice,
the huge hulk of the Titanic dotted
with myriads of lights sowly sinking
beneath the waves, the cries of men
shrieking for help, of women scream
ing In panic growing louder and loud
er with every moment hundreds of
men struggling in the water amid the
cakes of ice. striving pitecusly to
climb upon the overladen lifeboats,
begging to be saved. women crying to
their husbands to jump from the
decks, ships officers threatening to
shoot the first man who attempted to
enter a life-boat-1no picture inferno
ever presented such phantasmagoria.
Titanic Was Running at Full Speed.
The ocean was calm as a mill-pond
when the Titanic crushed into the ice
berg. 1t was quarter Of an hour be-
fore midnight. Most of the passengers
were in their cabins.
Then came the shock of collision
not so violent a crash as had been de-
picted, for there were many who were
not even awakened by it-but enough
to disquiet all who felt it. There was
q general and orderly exodus to the
decks.
Sailors were scurrying hither and
thither crying:
NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF!
THERE'S NO DANGER!"
Some of the passengers even return
ed to their rooms and prepared to re
tire. But gradually the cessation OF
the engines vibration caused uneasi-
ness and the groups on the decks grew
greater and greater. Still the sailors
announced that there was nothing to
be feared
Then, with perceptible suddenness,
the ship began to list
"All passengers on deck with life
belts" was shouted. Then Tor the first
time the gravity of the situation dawn
ed upon the passengers.
The sailors, working silently and
without excitement, yet fast as their
hands could move, removed the tar
paulns from the lifeboats and-terse-
ly, without excitement-came the or
der, repeated upon every side;
women and children In the life
boats!"
The sailors helped the nearest wo-
men and children into the boats. And
it was the beginning of excitement
other sailors began to lower the
boats

The lights of the Titanic were still
shining, but she was sinking steadily
by the bow. The screams of men and
women began to increase In volume
From the lifeboats the huge Titanic
doomed huge mass of blackness dot
ted with countless tiny lights None
of these Nominations were sufficient
to reveal either face or incident But
these lights were steadily sinking be
meath the surface of the water.
Among the innumerable deeds OF
herosm of that hour there was one
attested by many witnesses. The sail

Straus from her husbands side, but

had decided to remain with him She
sank with him. -
Women Row Lifebozt.
In the hurry of embarking, one of
the lifeboats had been lowered without
a single sailor in it. Three men had
been picked up by this boat, but the
women were rowing. And the women
between the thwarts were screaming
to their loved ones in agony.
Then, suddenly, above all the wall
Ing of that desolate scene there arose
the strains of the ships orchestra
playing Nearer, My God, to Thee!"
And for the first time those In the
lifeboats realized that those who were
left behind knew that they were doom

ment to the melody. The chorus swell
ed louder and louder. The lights sunk
lower and lower.
The lifeboats were pulling from the
scene as fast as they could But while
they were still within sight of the ship
the lights began to go out with start
ling swiftness.
The screams and shouts of those on
board still resounded through the air.
The last light went out and the
music ceased.

where over a hundred and fifty feet of
the ships length had been crushed in
there were no witnesses until an hour
afterward, when the lifeboats were all

Heroism Asserts Itself.
The ship had now listed to terrible

attempted to reach the boats and were
pushed back. And in that moment
the heroism of hundreds asserted it.

lowered Then, the sailors, seeing wo-
men standing and running about

All women to the lower deck"
There began a rush to the lower
deck, and there it was that the nearest

the women were seized by sailors and
deliberately thrown over the rail into
the boats.

Several more pistol shots were
heard on board the ship. And then,
suddenly, above the murmur of the
sea and the crunching of the ice foes
there rose a steadily increasing cry
from the doomed ship-a cry in which
hundreds upon hundreds of voices
mingled.
And the women in the lifeboats were
screaming, each to her husband or her
brother:

We'll be safer here on the ship
than in that cookie she'll" one man
cried to his wife as she was helped

But the Titanic settled deeper In the
ocean and it was difficult for the men
to remain on their feet. Then it was
that the appalling nature of it dawned
upon those men. And then, also it
was, that the officers of the ship drew
their reyolvers.
Stand back" they cried. Only
