STORY OF TITANIC
HAS NO EQUAL
CONTINUED from Page 1.)
THE FAITHFUL OPERATOR

John Bruce lsmay.' said Johnson,
stepped into the last boat to leave.
There were no women on deck at the
time, and Ismay was forced into the
boat by the officers of the ship just
as the boat was being lowered"
Ismay himself told the senate COM
mittee today: ''One of the boats was
being filled when the officers called
out to know If there were any more
women to go. There were none, and
no passengers were on the deck; so,
as the boat was being lowered, | got
into il.
johnson gave his version OF how
the ship struck an iceberg and went
down; how the officers and the male
passengers stood unafraid on deck,
awaiting the inevitable blow; of how
the lifeboats were lowered, and how
husbands and wives said their last
farewells.
when the crash came" he said,
"the Titanic was going at a speed OF
about 23 knots. She ripped herself
clear apart. There was no panic. IL
was very quiet when the boats were
lowered. and there were many who
refused to go.
"One of the most pathetic scenes
was the refusal of Mrs. lsador Strauss
to leave her husband. She remained
with him to the last. When the first
signal was given to lower the boats,
some of the crew pressed forward,
and il was then that the srally cry
came through the megaphone from
the bridge. BE British. my men! II
was Captain Smiths voice. Every
man obeyed the command, and faced
death calmly. They knew there was
no hope, and as big, strong English
seamen assisted the women and chill
dren into the boats, they gave no
sign that they realized that Captain
Smiths BE British mad sealed their
fate. They then regained their posi-
tion and died like men.
Phillips, the first Marconi operator
on board the Titanic, stuck to his
post to the last, and jumped from the
sinking ship as she began to settle.
He was taken on board a life raft,
but died from exposure before the
rescuers reached him. according to
Thomas Whitley, a waiter on the IL
tanic.

There was bit of panic when it

to use revolvers. The chief officer

was rescued. tells a graphic story OF
the rescue of seamen from THE ship.
When | came up after what
seemed hours, ! saw wreckage every
where. A great crate, like a huge
block of wood, fioated within my
grasp and | grabbed 1t. At that mo-
ment ! saw an overturned boat and
swan to it. On this raft there were
already lying more than 20 men who
seemed to be long to the Titanic's
crew. Two men propelled us through
the wreckage with pieces of wood,
which answered for oars.
Presently the raft was so full that
1t seemed as If she would sink If any
more came aboard, and the crew for
self preservation had to refuse to per-
NIT others to Chamber on. This was
the most pathetic and horrible scene
of all. The piteous cries of those
around us still ring in my ears.
" Hold on to what you have, old
boy,' we shouted to each man who
tried to get aboard. One more of
you would sink us all And many
whom We refused answered as they
went to their death: Good luck,
and God bless youi"
so we passed the night, with the
waves washing over us and the raft
buried in water under our feet.
Long before light dawned we stood
in columns, two deep, back to back,
ourselves, fearing to move
lest the delicate balance be disturbed
and we be thrown into the water.
But the hand of God seemed to soothe
the sea and it was calm"

TOO MUCH FAITH IN TITANIC.

Paris, Apr. l9.-Three French sur
vivors have jointly cabled to the Mat
in graphic narrative OF the disaster
to the Titanic in which they repeat
edly insist that more lives could have
been saved If the passengers had not
had such dogged faith that the IL
tanic was unsuitable.
Several boats, they declare, could
have carried double the number OF
urvivors had the crew and passen-
gers not become panic-stricken.
1te Frenchmen say they were
playing bridge with Mr.. Smith OF
Philadelphia when great crunchins
mass of ice packed up against the
portfolios and the card party quickly
broke up to investigate the cause.
Wnen they arrived on deck every
thing was in confusion; but this feel
ing quickly died down, and the Off
GERS sought to pacify some OF the
frightened passengers who had been
reused from their sleep by the force
of the collision and came on deck.
One of the officers, when questioned
by woman passenger, according to
the story of the Frenchmen, shumor-
ously replied: DO not be afraid.
We are merely cutting whale in
two.'
Presently the captain appeared to
become nervous and he ordered all to
put on life preservers. The boats were
then lowered; but only a few per-
sons stirred apparently believing
themselves safer on the big boat
than in the lifeboats. Several boats
put off half empty-one with only
l5 people in II.
