NOT IN THE SAME BOAT WITH
MISS HAYES.
"The published story that the chill
dren were In the same boat with my
daughter and chung to her instinctively,
Is a misstatement. My daughter left
in the first lifeboat and the two chill
dren followed on later boats. The
smaller boy was tossed from the deck
Of the Titanic into a lifeboat without
a stitch OF clothing. The older child
wore only a shirt when ne was taken
aboard the C~arpathia. The survivors
OF the Titanic on board formed q
ladies' committee. and as my daughter
was the only one among hem who had
not suffered some personal loss through
the disaster she was asted to care for
the two children. and gladly did so.
She q told that the two children
had been In the second caoin of the
Titanic in the care Of Q man named
Hoffman, but we hav been unable to
get any clue to their whereabouts from
the White Sta line or anywhere else.

In view OF the statements which have
been made In the press with regard to
the intention OF several transatlantic
lines to provide their steamers In the
future with suficient boats and RATS to

1t right on behalf Of the Cunard Com

Instruct all Atlantic captains avoid

for hitting all steamers with life rats or

Both priests celebrated mass for the

Father Byles delivered q m In

made his way to the steerage. He was
active In getting steerage passengers
