to our knowledge and which we be-
lieve to be true.
"On Sunday. April IA, 1912. at about

in a smooth sea and with no moon,
the ship struck An iceberg which had
been reported to the bridge by look

damage and save passengers and ship.
Orders were given to put on life belts
and the boats were lowered.
THE ship sank at about 2.20 a. m

were sent out by wireless and rockets

The statement was signed by Sam

five passengers.
Sea Was Calm
Mrs. Andrews of Hudson, y. Y,
said the crash came at 1875 and they
got off in the boats at 1915. The Ii

board the Carpathia at $50 a. m.
The sea was very calm, but became
rough after mat nour.
I'VE did not see the Carpathia until
daylight and we did not know whether
we were to be rescued or not. Many

Mrs. Andrews wore only her night
dress and she said that the agony of
six hours at sea in the boat, not know
ing whether they would be saved, was
beyond her power of description.
Miss Bonnell of Youngstown, o.,
said that the steamer was booming

the wreck occurred. She dictated the
following statement to the United

shortly before midnight Sunday
night the Titanic was blowing through
the ice fields at about its usual rate of
speed. A large proportion of its pas
sengers were asleep.
"As near as | can tell, about 1880,
the bottom of its bow drove into a
large iceberg. Many of the lower
plates of the hull were torn asunder.

among the steerage or second class
passengers, but the men among the
first cabin passengers flew into a rage,

crowded women out of the lifeboats."
