He was gentle and considerable to

SENATE COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING
TITANIC DISASTER IN new YORK

/ the Titanic to the officer on the
doomed steamships bridge fifteen
minutes before she struck, according
to Thomas Whitley, a first saloon
steward who now lies in st. Vincent's
hospital with frozen and lacerated
| feet.
Whitley, who was whipped over
board from the ship by rope while
helping to lower a lfeboat, finally
reached the Carpathia aboard one Of
the boats that contained, he said,
both the crows nest lookouts. He
heard a conversation between them,
he asserted, in which they discussed
the warnings given of the presence
of the iceberg.
Whitley did not know either of the
lookout mems names and believes
they have returned to England with
the majority Of the surviving mem
bers of the crew.
"a heard one of them say that at
11:15 o'clock, fifteen minutes before
the Titanic struck, he had reported
to First officer Murdoch that he fan
cied he saw an iceberg" said White
ly. "Twice after that the lookout
said he warned Mr.. Murdoch that
berg was ahead / can't remember
their exact words, but they were in.
dignant that no attention was paid
to their warnings. One Of them said,
No wonder that Mr.. Murdoch shot
himself -.
Whitley. In telling of various ex.
perieuces OF the disaster that has
como to his knowledge, said that Oh
pne of the first boats lowered the
Jnly passengers aboard we're an
American millionaire, his wife, child
and two Wallets. The others in the
BOAT were firemen and coal trimmers,
he said, seven in number, whom the
ner hal promised to pay well If they
would man the lfeboat.
"a do not know the mans name,'
said Whitley Il heard it, but have
forgotten it

which this man gave to each of the
crew Of his boat after they got
aboard the Carpathia. 1t was on

men to lower starboard boat before
the officers had given the order"
Whitley explained that the reason
he thought the crows nest lookout
had started back to England was that
he had read that besides the senior
only quartermasters had been
retained as Witnesses by the senate
committee investigating the disaster
and that they could not be in hospi-
tails and they had not been injured.
