story from one OF the survivors Of TIE IT,

DR. Kemp said that he was in his room
on the Carpathia at 1875 o'clock Sunday
night when he noticed that the engines had
stopped He went out TO find the trouble
and was informed that a message Of dis
tress had been received from the Titanic
ard that the Carpathia was turning to 80

was received. DR.. Kemp said, and FIVE
minutes later the signal might have found

disaster at about ) o'clock in the morning.

Ice that stretched out for a mile BY 80

said, that they were sailors.
A description of the disaster given 10
DR. Kemp by a male survivor reported the
night as very clear. There had been nc

SURVIVORS
NURSE TELLS STORY

The nurse to the child said that II was
the hurried launching of the ltfeboat In
which they were cast adrift that was re-
sponsibe for the death Of Mrs. Allison and
the child Lorraine.
Mrs. Allison stood at the rail waiting TO
be taken on the lifeboat, when, without
notice, II was lowered and she was left
standing with her elder child and husband.
II was the last lifeboat on which she had
possible chance to leave the sinking
ship.
Eve were all in bed when the Titanic
struck" said the nurse, but we did not
get up, for we never for a moment thought
there was any danger. Then little later
we were told we had better get up, and
hurriedly dressed the baby. We went zip
on deck. and there were not one-quarter
enough lifeboats. We got into the lifeboat
just like the others, and we thought 1t was
just precaution, not because there was
any danger. In about an hour there was
a tremendous explosion, and the steamship
seemed just TO fall apart. We were in the
lfeboat FIVE and a half hours before we
were picked up
