Some Died of Exposure.


New York, April ia passen-
ger on the Carpathia made the fol-
lowing statement:
81 was awakened at about 1890
at night by commotion on the
decks, which seemed unusual, but
there was no excitement AS the
boat was moving, ! paid little atten-
ton to 1t and went to sleep again.
About 3 o'clock I again awakened. I
noticed that the boat was stopped. I
went to the deck. The Carpathia had
changed her course. Life boats were
sighted and began to arrive-and
soon, one by one, they drew up to
our side. There were 16 in all, and
the transferring Of the passengers
was most pitiable. The adults were
assisted in climbing the rope ladders
by ropes adjusted to their waists.
The little children and babies were
hoisted to the deck in bags. Some
of the boats were crowded, q few
were not half full. This could not
understand. Some people were in
full evening dress, others were in
their night clothes, and were wrap
ped in blankets.
Five Hours i'm Life Boats.
These, with immigrants in all sorts
or shapes, were hurried into the sa-
loon. indscriminately. for hot
breakfast. They had been i'm the
open boats four or five hours in the
most biting air | ever experienced.
There were husbands without wives,
wives without husbands, parents
without children, and children with
out parents. But there were no dem
onstrations, no sobs-scarcely a
word spoken. They seemed to be
stunned.
Immediately after breakfast di-
vine service was held in the saloon.
"Ono )man died in the life boat,
three others died soon after reach
ing our deck. Their bodies were
buried In the sea at o'clock that
afternoon. None Of the rescued had
any clothing except what they had
on, and relief committee was form
cd and our passengers contributed
only for their immediate needs"

heartbreaking cries Of help, help
and stiffened froms were seen float
ing, the faces relaxed In death.
Revolver shots were heard in the
ships last moments. The first re-
port spread among the boats was
that Capt. Smith had ended his life
with bullet. Then it was said that
a mate had shot a steward who tried
to push his way upon boat against
orders. None of these tales has
been verified, and many Of the crew
say the captain, without preserver,
leaped in at the last and went down,
refusing a cooks offered aid.
"The last of the boats, 8 collaps-
ible, was launched too late to get
away and was overturned by the
ship sinking. Some of those in it
all, say some witnesses--founds safety
on a raft or were picked up by life
boat.
"In the Marconi tower almost to
the last the click of the sending in
strument was heard over the waters.
"As the screams in the water null
tiplied another sound was heard,
strong and clear at first, then fainter
in the distance, 1t was the melody
of the hymn, Nearer, My God, to
Thee, played by the string orchestra
in the dining saloon. Some of those
on the water started to sing the
words, but grew silent as they real
lied that for the men who played
the music 1t was sacrament soon to
be consummated by death. The ST.
rem strains Of the hymn and the
frantic cries Of the dying blended in
symphony Of sorrow.
Led by the green light under

Sixteen boats were in the process

hours Of rowing, drifting and sus-

bands and sons, sailors sobbed for
the ship which had been their pride.
Men choked back tears and sought
to comfort the widowed.

In reply to questions as to how
the men who got aboard were pick

'The men were told to stand aside

her husband, and she would not get
