the other evening, after touring

Foley.

GEORGE D. WIDENER.
tBy Telegraph TO The TrlbuneJ

fBy Telegraph TO The Trlbunsl
Philadelphia, April 20-It was only to-day
that the details OF the death OF George ID
Widener and OF tho heroism Of Mrs
Widener after the parting with her HUSBAND
and son became known. Her physician ha:
only permitted Mrs. Widener to recount th'
story In a fragmentary manner.
One OF the facts learned by the family
is that Mrs. widener assisted the sailors In
rowing the llfeboat after II left the side OF
the Titanic. At various times during the
night she took her place at the oars, re-
lieving the sailors, who We're nearly over
come by fatigue and exposure.
THE shock was not very severe" Mrs
Widener said. but We all went to the deck
Later we placed lifepreservers on, and
finally were induced to enter the boats. We
had not the slightest thought that the
Titanic would sink, and only went into the
boats at tho instance OF our husbands, ex'
pecting they would follow I'm other life-
boats In case the Titanic sank, but we
never expected that. We kissed each other
goodby on deck. supposing. OF course, that
the parting would only De for a short time.
The Carter family, Mrs. Astor and Mrs.
Thayer and some others were In the same
boat. Finally II was lowered over the side
OF the ship after kissed George and Harry
goodby.
"As the Iifeboat was being lowered down
the great side OF the ship George called
down: We'll, you take the first ship to New
York and we will follow We waved to
those above and they waved TO us. Soon
the boat touched the water and was rowed
out TO sea-
As the little boat pulled away from the
ship Mrs. Widener saw her husband and
son for the last time standing on the deck
and waving. The men stood later with
Colonel Astor. Major Butt, J. B. Thayer
and others. doing their utmost TO assist
women and children into boats
Exactly how Mr.. Widener met his death
will probably never be known. lie was
seen by the last boatlosd Of survivors
standing near the stern OF the vessel, but
whether he jumped into the sea at the last
moment or remained on the vessel proba-
blv will never be known.
The details Of the last moments of Mrs.
Widener's son also are not known. He was
playing cards with William Il. Carter,
Major Butt and Clarence Moore in the
smoking room when the crash came. The
men rushed outside and did their utmost 20
restore order Young Wldener found his
father and mother assisted MIS-; Midener
after waving a last farewell disappeared
None of the survivors apparently saw
young Mr.. Widener when the liner sank.

Mrs. Futrelle says: Jacques Is dead, but
he died like a hero: that know. Three or
four times after the crash I rushed up 10
him. clasped him in my arms and begged
him to get into one of the lifeboats. For
