Titanic Sank In Deep Water.

HALIFAX, April l5.-The deathbed
of the $40, 600, 600 steamer Titanic and
probably of many who must have been
dragged down with her is two miles
below the surface of the sea. The
calculation was made by an official of
the government marine department,
who finds this depth on the marine
chart as a point about 500 miles from
Halifax and about 70 miles south of
the grand banks, where he believed
the Titanic went down.
This location is midway between
Sable island and Cape Race and in
line with those dangerous sands which,
however, might have proved a place
of safety had there been time to run
the Titanic there and beach her.
NEW YORK, April l6.-In the melan-
choly role Of marine tragedies, that

voyage. The nearest approach to
such an unfortuna ate fate was the

of missing ships on her second voyage.
