Giant Titanic Sinks
Goes Down With Most Of
Her Human Cargo.

Ill CIle history OF the world Oc-
Cured, when the Titantic, of the
White Star Line, the biggest and
finest of Steamships, shattered
herself against an iceberg and
sank with nearly 100 of her pas
sengers and crew in less than
four hours.
The number of dead will probab-
ly never be exactly determined.
inasmuch as the.complete passen-
ger list went down with the YES
sci. The number of survivors is
fixed at 705 by the report of Cap
tain Rostron, of the Carpathia.
The White Star Line officials be-
lieve the death list totaled ap-
proximately 1886.
The Titantic was of 46, 1923 tons
register, with a displacement of
&c, 900 tons. Her total length was
882 feet 6 inches, her breadth 90
feet 6 inches, and she was IT'S
feet from the keel to the top of
the smokestacks. She had eleven
decks, equal to what was called
a skyscraper a few years ago.
This vessel, the greatest ma
rlne achievement in the history
of the world, had just recently
been completed at a cost of $1O,-
600, 600, and was a floating pal
ace. She was making her maiden
voyage across the Atlantic from
Europe to New York and carry
ing a $40, ,000,O 900 cargo.
There were 325 first cabin pas
sengers on the Titantic, of whom
l28 were women and Is children.
In the second cabin there were
285 persons, including 10 women
and 8 children, and in the steer
age the complement of no was
divided almost equally, it is be-
lleved, between women and men,
with a small percentage of chii-
dren.
Among the 1920 passengers of
the giant liner were Col. John
Jacob Astor and his wife, Isidor
Straus, Major Archibald w. Butt,
aide to President Taft, George B.
Widener and Mrs. Widener of
Philadelphia, Mr.. and Mrs. Hen
ry S. Harper, William Stead, the
London journalist, and many
more whose names are known on
both sides of the Atlantic.
On the night of the tragedy
many were awakened by the
shock of the collision but for
some time did not realize they
were in serious danger. The
wireless operator though was
soon sending out messages for
aid and succeeded in getting the
New York Cunard Liner. Carpa-
thia, to change her course and
come to their assistance, but she
did not arrive until after the IT,
tanic had sunk and was able to !
rescue only those who had es-
capped in the life e-boats.
Shortly after the collision the
women were ordered into the
boats. The rules of the ship were
thoroughly carried out by the
captain who allowed no men to
leave the ship until all women
and children were safely aboard
the life boats. Practically every
woman, excepting those who re-
fused to leave their husbands,
were saved. Mrs. Isidor Straus
would not desert her husband
and they perished together. 9th
er we'll known people to drown
were Col. John Jacob Astor, Mai
Archibald w. Butt, George B. I
and William Stead. 1t is
said the men were heroic, sacri-
icing themselves to save the
women and children. It's report
I'd that the survivors saw the
lights of the stricken vessel glim-
ner to the last, heard the band
playing Nearer My God To ;
