New York, April 19.--Less than 24 hours after the Cunard line steamer CarDathia came in as rescue ship, with 745 survivors of the Titanic dis i aster she sailed again this after noon for the Mediterranean cruise. which she originally started upon last week. Just before the liner sailed, H. S. Bride, the second Marconi wireless operator of the Titanic, who had both of his legs crushed on lfeboat, was carried off on the shoulders of the ships officers, to St. Vincents hospi. tai.
 Captain H. A. Rostron of the Car pathia addressed an official report, giving his account of the Carpathia's rescue work to the general manager of the Cunard line, Liverpool. The report read:
 q beg to report that at 12:35 Mon- day, 18th inst, 1 was informed of uf- gent message from Titanic, with her position. I immediately ordered ship turned around, and put her in course for that position, we being 5S miles S-52-E 'T' from her; had heads of all departments called, and issued what I considered the necessary orders, to be in preparation for any emergency.
 At 2:40 am, saw flare half a point on port bow Took this for granted to be ship. Shortly after we sighted out first iceberg. had previously had lookouts doubled. Knowing that Titantic had struck ice. and so took every care and precaution. We soon found ourselves in a field of bergs, large and small, and had to alter course several times to clear bergs, weather fine and clear, light airs on sea, beautifully clear night, though dark.
 We stopped at am, thus doing distance in three hours and a half, picking up the first boat at 4:10 am, boat in charge of officer, and he re- ported that Titanic had foundered At S:30 a.m, last boat picked up. All survivors aboard and all boats ac- counted for, viz: 15 lifeboats, one boat abandoned; two Berthon boats alongside, (saw one floating upward among wreokage) and according to second officer (senior officer lost), one Berthon boat had not been launch ed. it having been damned, making 16 lifeboats and four Berthon boats ac- counted for By the time we had cleared first boat it was breaking day and 1 could see all within area of four miles. We also saw that we were surrounded by icebergs, large and small, and three miles to the NV of us, a huge field of drift ice, with large and small bergs in it, the ice field trending NV round w and s to SEE as far as we could see either way.
 At s the Leyland steampship Cali fornan came up. gave him the principal news and asked him to search and I would proceed to New York; at S;3O proceeded full speed While re-searching over vicinity of disaster, and while we were getting people aboard, gave orders to get spare hands along and swing all our boats, disconnect the fall and hoist up as many Titanic boats as possible in our dabits; also got some on fo'- castle heads by derricks. We got 13 lifeboats, six on forward deck and seven in davits. After getting all sur vivors aboard, and while searching got a clergyman to offer a short prayer of thankfulness for those say. ed, and also a short burial service for their loss, in saloon.
 Before deciding definitely where to make for, conferred with Mr. IS may and he told me to do what thought best. l informed him, taking everything into consideration, l con. sidered New York best. I knew we would require clean blankets, pro vision and linen, even if we went tc the scene, as most passengers saved were women and children, and they hysterical. Knowing what medical at tention they might require, thought i best to go to New York.
 We have experienced very grea' difficulty in transmitting news, alsC names of survivors. Our wireless i' very poor and again we have had SC many interruptions from other ships
