NEARER MY GOD TO THEE"

New York, April 1S-How the. I'll

Carpathia and who furnished that pa

He gives the number of lives lost
as 100. He praises highly the cour-

1t was the explosion of the boilers,
according to Mr.. Hurd's account,
which finally finished the Titanc's

The bulkhead system, though prob
ably working. proved only to delay
the ships sinking. The position wound
on the starboard quarter admitted icy

which caused the boilers to explode
and these explosions broke the ship
in two. The ships string band gath

DEAD TOTAL 1901.

New York, April f8.-The cunard
Liner Carpathia, ship of gloom and
succor, came into New York, tonight,
with first news direct from the great
White Star Liner Titanic, which sank
off the Grand Banks of New Found
land, early on Monday morning last.
The great liner went down with her
band playing, taking with her to death
all but 745 of her human cargo of 234o
souls.
To this awful death list six persons
were added. One died in the Iifeboats,
which were put off from the liners
side, and five subsequently suecumbed
on the rescue ship Carpathia. The list
of prominent men missing stands as
previously reported, and the total
number of deaths as reported, tonight,
by the carpathia is 1901.
Survivors in the lifeDoats huddled in
the darkness at a safe distance from
the stricken ship and saw her go down.
As to the scenes on board when the
inner StFuCh, accounts ulSaSfee widely.
Some maintain that a comparative
calm prevailed. others say that wild
disorder broke out and that there was
maniaeal struggle for the lifeboats.
That the liner struck an iceberg as
reported by wireless was confirmed by
all.
Sensational rumors told by hysteri-
cal passengers who would not give
their names said that Capt. Smith
killed himself on the bridge; that the
chief engineer also took his life and
that three Italians were shot in the
struggle for the boats. These rumors
could not be confirmed in the early
confusion attendant ON the landing of
the survivors.
Ripped from stem TO engine room by
the great mass of ice she struck amid
ships, the Titanic's side was laid open
as if by gigantic can opener.
She quickly listed to starboard and
a shower of ice fell into the fore
castle deck. Shortly before she sank,
she broke in two abaft the engine
room. and as she disappeared beneath
the water the expulsion of air caused
the explosions which were plainly
heard by the survivors adrift. A mo-
to her doom with ill-starred hundreds
grouped on the after deck. To the
survivors they We're visible to the last
and their cries and means were pitt
