SHIP WAS
FIVE MILES AWAY

ST. JOHNS, n. B., April 26.--J. Dur
bant, Marconi wireless operator on the
steamship Mount Temple, yesterday de-
MED the steamer was only five miles
from the Titanic at the time of the ae-
cident. His story follows:
"I was lying in bed reading with
the receiver over my ars at 1925 ships
time d2:11 New York time), when l
caught the first call. Immediately get
ting out of bed I answered, asking the
position of the stricken ship. This was
sent back with the addition: Come at
once; lave struck berg
"As soon as / got this message l noti-
fed the captain. who at once doubled
the watch of fremen below, called all
hands on deck and changed the ships
course towards the position of the III
tanic. Then l went back to my instru-
ments and sat there. I did not call the
Titanic again because other ships which
/ judged to be closer were working and
/ did not wish to jam them.
AT 1921 I heard the Carpathia an
swer the C. Q. D. calls Of the Titanic
and heard the operator on the latter
ship give his position. adding; Have
struck iceberg; come to assistance
at once
AT 1924 1 heard the Frankfurt an
swer the Titanic. That ship asked,
What is the matter with your and the
answer, We have struck an iceberg;
please tell captain to come To this
the operator on the Frankfurt replied.
o. K. We will tell the bridge right
away
1.-THE answer to this was, Yes, quick.

"All this time the c. Q. D. messages
were being sent out incessantly from

Olympic answer the call. To this
steamer the Titanic said: Captain says

STRAUSS HORSE DIED
SAME NIGHT AS MASTER.

NEW YORK, April 2e.-Friends of
Isidor Straus, who, with his wife, per-
ished in the Titanic disaster, told yes
terday of a peculiar coincidence con-
corning Mr.. Straus and his favorite
horse Bess. Before he sailed for Europe
Mr.. Strauss sent the horse to Bedford
Hills, N. Y, where the Montef1ore
Home. with which Mr.. Straus was con-
nected, has a farm. Part OF this farm
consists of some fine pasture land, and
Mr.. Straus decided to give Bess a vaca-
ton and let her roam at will over the
pasture until he returned.
Bess was 6 years old She had been
owend by Mr.. Straus for several years
and was his favorite driving horse. On
the night of Sunday, April Id, Bess was
locked in the stable by the employees at
the farm, as usual. Next morning one
of the stable hands found Bess dead. A
veterinary surgeon could not tell of
what malady the animal had died. The
night of Sunday. April IA, was when
the Titanic was wrecked and Mr.. Straus
and his wife died.

IsMAY RECEIVES
SOME SYMPATHY

LONDON. April 26.-All the London
underwriters affected by h loss or
the Titanic signed a note expressing
their sincere sympathy with J. Bruce
Ismay in the pain and loss which the
disaster brought upon him. This note,
which was cabled to Mr.. lsmay,
brought a reply. conveying his sincere
and heartfelt thanks.
The Times says this morning about
It:
sThe main significance of sueh an
interchange of messages is that it Is
believed to be unique. The under
writer's, smarting under the serious
loss, are not accustomed to sign spon-
taneously a letter of coincidence TO the
owners. and it is safe TO assume that
they would never have done so in the
present case but for the events of the
last few days at Washington.
TT would be imperative. from their
peint of view. even were it not SO 1or
the safety of the travelling public, that
a searching inquiry should be instituted
n the loss of the Titanic. but they
know, that to be of real value the IN
y~estigation must be conducted by men
possessing thorough nautical knowl-
edge, and must be impartial.
Not a little of the weight attaching
to the note is due to the fact that the
signatories represent companies ana

the cargo and Valuables sunk,
who. it can be said without hesitation,
were never SO bitterly disappointed
with the way a risk ran as they were
with the Titanic.
Many of the signatories lost frlenos
or relatives by the disaster, and have
paid dearly for taking OIL trust the
builders and owners unlimited BELIEF
in the strength OF their ship. But these
considerations do no overdue the
underwriters ems of fair play.

TALK ON ICE VISIBILITY
is GIVEN BY SHACKELTON,

LONDON, April 26.-Sir Earnest
Shackelton in a speech at Falmouth
yesterday brought up the important
point of the visibility of ice at night
for the forthcoming British inquiry into
the Titanic disaster. He expressed the
hope hat the British inquiry would be
composed of experts in their particular
branch of knowledge.
Sir Earnest had had his men as close
to the waterline as possible in misty
weather and at night time when travel
ing neal ice. Viewed from a high
angle an iceberg would blend with the
sea. whereas from the deck line. it
would loom up almost on the darkest
night.
