When the Titanic struck she struck

the crews had to guide their boats
with the greatest care to prevent be-

was so heavy that the lifeboats could
not force their way through it. and as
a result the boats became widely sep.

The air was biting cold. and the

Shortly after 2 o'clock the sinking
Titanic made her great dive into The
sea, carrying with her hundreds OF per-

Daylight came and with 1t arrived
the Cunard liner Carpathia. which
found only the score of lifeboats filled
with crew and passengers floating
helplessly about the vicinity where
the Titanic had passed under the
waves.
First reports were that the Car.
