COL Astor Died Brave Man.
Dramatic stories of the death OF
Colonel Astor were told on the pier by
survivors.
Mrs. Astor was sent away in the
tenth boat" said John Kuhle, of Ne.
braska. Just as she was about to be
placed within the boat, Colonel Astor
embraced her.
Helped to Force Wife Into Boat
"Astor then freed himself from his
wife's embrace and after helping to
force her into the boat turned away
and stood upon the deck"
Colonel Archibald Oracle, u s. A.,
declared Colonel Astor's conduct was
deserving Of the highest praise Col
onel Astor, said Oracle, devoted all
his energies to saving his young bride,
who was in delicate health.
Colonel Astor helped us in our ef
forts to get her in the boat" said
Colonel Oracle 81 lifted her into the
boat. Colonel Astor then inquired the
number Of the boat which was being
lowered and turned to the work OF
clearing the other boats and in reas.
suring the frightened and nervous
women"
Col. Astor Joined Mr. and Mrs. Straus.
John Jacob Astor escorted his wife
to one of the lifeboats, kissed her
quietly and then went up to deck B

THRILLING ACCOUNTS OF
HEROISM AND SACRIFICE
BY TITANIC SURVIVORS

Tales Of horror were told by the
survivors of the Titanic wreck when
they landed from the steamship Car
pathia.
Men and women related in detail
how the big ship had crushed against
the iceberg, but how the jar was SO
slight that no one was excited until
the ships officers and crew began low
ering the lifeboats and RATS and or
dering passengers into them
The Titanic's boilers exploded when
water rushed in upon them, and it was
the opinion of some of the survivors
that many who had been left on the
sinking Titanic We're killed by the ex-
plosions and not drowned
Most graphic was the story told by
Mrs. Paul Schabert, Of Derby, Conn.
After telling of how Mr.. and Mrs. Isa-
dor Straus perished together, because
Mrs. Straus would not leave her hus-
band, Mrs. Schabert said
"It was a terrible experience, but
worth going through. was awaken

ling that we had that the ship was in
danger. We went back to the state
rooms and dressed. Then came the
horrifying order that women must
leave their husbands and brothers and
that no man was to go in the lifeboats.
II refused to leave my brother, and
remained on deck until the next to the
last boat was leaving. They looked
around and saw that / was the only

I'VE left the ship about twenty five
minutes before it sank She sank at
about 1850 o'clock Monday morning.
At o'clock the same morning the
Carpathia put in an appearance and
We were picked up. We were proba-
bly, one mile away from the ship when
she went down, and the steward that
had given me the first warning that
the ship might sink went down with
all the others.
Lights Burning, Band Playing.
"As we left the ship it was the most
remarkable and brilliant sight ! had
ever witnessed on the water. All the
lights were burning and the band was
playing as if at concert"
Mrs. Schabert was asked in regard
to rumor that Major Butt, military
aide to President Taft, had shot eight
men to keep them from upsctting life
boats by crowding into them.
Mrs. Schabert answered that she
was unable to either confirm or deny
this. She said she had seen no such
thing, but that the confusion was such
she might not have seen it, even if 1t
had happened.
