that he was resting up for the trans

A Possible Ray
OF Hope Is Found.

New York, April 17.-Hope that
some of the passengers of the Titanic
not taken on board the Carpathia may
have been saved, was revived, early
today, when the captain of the
freighter Ultonia of the Phoenix Line,
which locked, about midnight, report
ed that he passed along the route
taken by the Titanic and that a num-
Der of fishing boats were in the yicin-
ity of the disaster at the time. He
sand he thought it not improbable
that many of the passengers had they
secured life preservers and jumped in
time to avoid being carried under by
the suction of the liner may have
been rescued by the crews of the fish
ing vessels.
The Ultonia was not equipped with
wireless. The captain of the liner
said the fishing boats were headed
toward Halifax when he passed along
the route.

to the theory that the man was not

OF the room which he had hired in
the vicinity with a rifle across his
knee. If Marsh had taken the shortest
route to the wood pile where he took
his morning exercise, he would have
passed close to this window, but he
was in the habit OF going around the
barn. the longer way. and thus the
barn was put between him and the

unites in expressing sympathy for Eng

wreck of the Titanic. saying that this is
an international and not a national trag-

Ambassador and Mrs. Bacon are in re-
ceipt of numerous congratulations ON
their fortunate decision not to sail on
the Titanic, as had been their intention.
French shipping experts are already
studying the lessons of the disaster The
Matn declares that steps should be
taken to counterfeit the appalling dan
gers from icebergs by the creation of a
system of ocean police whereby reports
would be furnished of the ice zones out
Of normal season. 1t is suggested that
lightships should follow the ice fields and
warn international shipping by wireless.

ST. John, y. B., April 16.-J. Tracey
Eusts of Boston, whose two sisters were
on board the Titanic, received word here,
today, that one of them had been picked
up by the steamship Olympic, but that
no word had been received of the other.
Mr.. Eustis was one Of a large number
of persons who passed through st. John,
today. on their way to Halifax hoping
TO meet friends and relatives among the
survivors who they believed We're being
taken to that port. Attached to the Mon
treal express which arrived. today, was
the private car of c. NJ. Hays, president
of the Grand Trunk Railway, who. with
his wife and daughter, was reported to
be among the survivors. The car was
being taken to Halifax, but upon its ar
rival here it was taken off and sent To
New York on orders from Montreal.
Some % American and Canadian news
paper men also arrived here, today,
bound for Halifax. Upon learning thar
the survivors probably would not be
brought there they stopped their journey
here.
MIR. Eustis was advised later by rela-
tives in Boston that his sister, Mrs. W al
ter Stephenson of Haverford, Pa, had
been rescued by the Carpathia. He was
also informed that another woman, called
Miss Ellis in the list of survivors on the
Carpathia, was supposed to be Miss
Elizabeth NJ. Eustis of Boston, another
sister.
The report that the steamship Olympic
had rescued one of Mr.. Eustiss sisters
is thought to have originated in the re-
laying of a wireless message from the
Carpathia by the former steamer.
