DISASTER
Hundreds Of Passengers Perish
il Sinking of Big New
Ocean Liner 6 Titanic. z
WOMEN Ne AND CHILDREN SAVED
Male Passengers and Members Il
Crew Of Doomed Vessel All
Went 70 Bottom.

Cape Race, April Unparalleled
in the history Of the sea were the
scenes on board the Titanic as she
sank at. 8 O'Clock yesterday morning
after striking an Ice berg at 10:3O o.
clock on Sunday night.
With S66 women and children in
twenty modern life boats on calm
sea, amid the cakes of ice surrounding
the vessel, but at safe distance, the
remaining men passengers and crew
of 800, or 1.492 in all, went down when
the crushed plate and bulkheads let
in the water faster than the pumps
could draw it out.
The last wild scenes on the vessel
probably will never be known, for all
the participants are dead, including
Captain Smith, the commander of the
liner.
Whether the crew stood at their
posts bravely, or fought with the pas
sengers for the life preservers, will
u0YeIr US huOWu. Eesi n.
The accident is the greatest dis
aster in the history Of the sea, AMI
particularly SO because Of the large
number Of prominent and wealthy
people on board.
But the meager reports show that
the women and children were sent to
the boats first, regardless of whether
they were rich or poor, prominent or
of the laboring class.
In the darkness, very likely the
wives or mothers Of those who sank
were in ignorance Of their fate, al
though not far distant, but details
of this part of the tragedy will not
be known until the Carpathia arrives
here with its s66 Survivors.
1t is expected that nearly all the
passengers were asleep when thet
crash came, and the women and chill
dren were hurried to the boats in
their night clothing. They must have
suffered terribly for the eight hours
they passed in the small boats before
they were rescued. !. a
Although a half dozen steamers were
summoned by wireless when the targ-
edy occurred, and they rushed to the
scene, they arrived too late. AS stat
ed by Captain Gambel Of the Virginia,
only Wreckage of the Titanic was
found. (. :5 5 s5
The Carpathia will reach New York
with its survivors late Thursday or
