THE STORY OF A SURVIVOR
Graphic Description Of Scenes Given

New York, April 1S.-Following is
the account Of Mr.. Beasley of London:
THE voyage from Queenstown had
been quite uneventful; very fine
weather was experienced and the sea
was quite calm. The wind had been
very cold, particularly the last day;
in fact, after dinner on Sunday even
ing it was almost too cold to be out
on deck at all. had been in my berth
for about ten minutes when, at about
11:15 p. M, felt a slight jar and then
soon after a second one, but not suf-
ficiently large to cause any anxiety.
However, the engines stopped imme-
diately afterwards and my first
thought was she had lost a propeller.
| went up on the top (boat) deck in
n dressing gown and found only a few
people there who had come up sim
ilarly to inquire why we had stopped,
but there was no sort of anxiety in the
minds of any Of us.
"a little later hearing people going
upstairs / went out again and found
everyone wanting to know why the en-.
gines had stopped. No doubt many

were awakened from sleep by the sud
den stopping of vibration to which
they become accustomed during the
voyage Naturally with such powerful
engines as the Titanic carried, the vi
bration was very noticeable all the
time and the sudden stopping had
something of the same effect as the
stopping of a large ticking grand
fathers clock in a room.
"On going back again l saw that
there was an undoubted list down
wards from stern to bows but knowing
nothing of what had happened, con-
cluded some of the front compartment
had filled and were bearing her down.
l went down again to put on warmer
clothing and as l dressed heard an
order shouted:
"'All passengers on deck with life
belts on!'

through the vessel with a rattle and
groaning that could be heard for miles,

this was not quite the end.
