to receive further wireless messages

Thrilling Experiences.
The brief wireless dispatches re-
ceived so far show that the passen-
gers and crew passed through thrill
ing experiences from the very moment
that the monster Titanic crashed into
the iceberg in the dead of night, until
the Carpathia several hours later
reached the scene and rescued the
from life boats floating in q
sea of ice. The collision occurred at
a time when most of the passengers
had retired or were about to go to
bed The shock of the collision sent
many of the passengers to the decks
dressed. A wireless dispatch
came through Camperdown, n. s.,
saying that the passengers We're or
dered to the life boats at once and that
many were scantily clad as they took
their places in the boats. This would
Indicate that the Titanic's condition
was such that no time could be
spared to return to state rooms for
additional clothes.
Prayed for Dawn.
Danger still confronted even those
who were so fortunate as to be put
aboard the life boats. Huge quanti-
ties of field ice covered the ocean, a
wireless dispatch says, and in the dark
ness the crews had to guide their
boats with the greatest care to pre-
vent being jammed and overturned.
The ice was so heavy that the life
boats could not force their way
it and as a result became
widely separated. The air was biting
cold and the chill that rose from the
ice foes caused the passengers to
hover close together to keep warm.
All through the night, the life boats
foated helplessly between the shifting
cakes of ice while the survivors pray
ed for dawn to come.
Hundreds Carried to Death
Shortly after 2 o'clock, the sinking
Titanic made her great dive into the
sea, carrying hundreds of persons to
death.
Daylight came and with it arrived
the Cunarder Carpathia which found
only the score of life boats filled with
crew and passengers floating helpless
Iy about the vicinity where the Titanic
had passed under the waves.
Twenty Miles of Ice.
New York, April ia wireless
sent by Captain Rostrum of
the Carpathia to the Cunard line here
to latitude 4145 north and longitude
1920 east, reads as follows:
Am proceeding to New York, un-
less otherwise ordered, with about
500. After having consulted with Mr..
Ismay and considering the circum-
stances with so much ice about, con-
sidered New York best. Large num-
Der of icebergs and twenty miles of
field ice with bergs amongst.
Many Perished of Cold.
Halifax, n. s., April 16.-The Paris
ian steamed through much heavy field
ice looking for passengers from the
Titanic. No life RATS or bodies were
sighted among the floating wreckage,
which covered large area. The
Partisan reports that the weather was
cold and that even if any persons had
been on the wreckage, they in all
probability would have perished from
exposure before they could have been
picked up. The Partisan is expected
here tomorrow morning.
