jury then returned a verdict Of not
guilty and Adams was released.

London. April l6.-The King in a
message to the White Star Co. and the
prime minister in the House of Com
mons. today, appropriately expressed
the nations sense Of poignant sorroN
at a calamity which was impressed on
the public mind almost in an unpre

the peculiar nature of the disaster To
the Titanic. but by reason of the Pc
culiar circumstances surrounding it.

interest to pitch OF the greatest in

AS the day passed and the hopes
that there might prove to be further
survivors on other liners We're grad

began slowly to realize the dreadful
nature of the catastrophe and the
scenes of horror that must have o.
Cured in the few hours between the
moment the liner struck and that in
which she went down and the anxious
hours of the survivors in the boats.
Pathetic scenes were enacted all day
long at the offices of the White Star
Co., the hotels and other places where
friends Of those aboard the Inflated
vessel had gathered, waiting for the
dreaded news. All other topics Wore
completely dwarfed.
Mach satisfaction is expressed al

chat the best traditions of the sea have

Multitudes remained in the vicinity

dispatch would be received announc-
ing that their loved ones were included
among the survivors on board the Car

obtained at the White star offices and
