, ON BOARD. THE STEAMSHIP
OLYMPIC, EASTBoUND, BY WIRE
LEss TO CAPE RACE AND LAND
LINES TO NEW YORK, April H.
The bodies OF some OF the victims OF
the lost Titanic will be taken probably
to Boston, on the Leyland liner Cali
fornian. Wireless advices reaching
Fl. US from the scene of the disaster say
some have already been recovered.
They will be tenderly cared for. and
we understand that they will be taken
10 port as soon as the Californian re-
sumes her interrupted voyage, just
when we do not know.
The Olympic Is proceeding. she
could do nothing. The realization or
the tragedy, followed by the knowl-
edge that the younger sister of the
Olympic went to the bottom while
this great vessel was rushing to her
aid at top speed and hoping against
hope that she would bet there in time,
has stunned all on board.
The captains seat In the dining
saloon, his cabin, everything about
the Olympic is reminder OF Capt.
q, Smith, first commander OF the Olym-
pic, who lost his life on the bridge or
The sister ship. There is little talk
ing among the passengers. In hush
ed whispers passengers and sailors
alike discuss the tragedy which is
brought squarely home to everyone
here.
Since the work was received that
the Titanic had struck berg the
o, apprehension has been very great. As
soon as Capt. Haddock received the
first wireless word of the disaster he
turned the Olympic's bow toward the
scene and sent her ahead at full
speed. There was hope that We might
arrive in time. That hope was shat
tered when We got into wireless reach
OF the Carpathia and the full news
OF the TRACED ywas received.
The word OF the tragedy shocked
and appalled, everyone. The Olympic's
orchestra was hushed. The instru-
ments weer put into their cases and
, will not be heard again on this voy-
age, at least.
The helplessness OF all was appar-
ent. This was best shown by the
heavy contributions made TO the fund
for the sailors and their dependents
which was Immediately raised. After
remaining almost stationary most of
Tuesday relaying with melancholy ex-
actitude the list of survivors from the
Carpathia, Capt Haddock was order
ed to proceed on h isvoyage. Not un-
Ill then was the use Of the wireless
permitted for any other purpose.

Unquestionably the financial sys-
TEN, as typified by Morgan, will sur
vive him. but the question is by whose
hand will it move, for this king OF
American finance would now leave
no heir worthy of the crown.
Morgan Is today at the zenith of his
power His mighty control of affairs
ramifes to the length and breadth OF
the country and reaches out even TO
