both got into another boat. Col.
aster had his arms about his wife
and assisted her into the boat.
at the time there were no wo-
men waiting to get into the boats
and the ships officer at that point
invited Col. Astor to get into the boat
with his wife. The Colonel, after
looking around and seeing no wo-
men. got into the boat and his wife
threw her arms about him.

RESCUE FROM ocean
PITIFCL SCENES AS CARPAR-
THIA PICK UP BOATS.
People From Sunken Titanic Re
freshed, Bodily and Spiritually,
When They Reached Rescue Ship.

A passenger on the Carparthia
when she rescued the survivors from
the Titanic described the picking up
of the lifeboats as follows:
q was wakened at about 1890
at night by a conmotion on the
decks, which seemed unusual, but
there was no excitement. AS
the boat was moving, I PAID little
attention to it, and went to sleep
again. About three o'clock notic-
ed that the boat had stopped. I went
to the deck The Carpathia had
changed her course. Lifeboats were
sighted and began to arriye-and
soon, one by one, they drew up to
our side. There were sixteen in all
and the transferring Of the passen-
gers was most pitable. The adults
were assisted in climbing the rope
ladders by ropes adjusted to their
waists. The little children and bah
les were hoisted to the deck in bags,
Some of the boats were crowd
ed. a few were not half full. That I
could not understand. Some people
were in full evening dress, others
were in their night clothes and were
wrapped in blankets. These, with
Immigrants in all sorts Of dresses,
ere hurried into the saloon, indis-
crinipately, for hot breakfast.
They had been in the open boats four
or five hours in the most biting air /
ever experienced. There were hus-
bands without wives, wives without
husbands, parents without children
and children without parents. But
there was NO demonstration. No
sobs-scarcely word spoken. They
seemed to be stunned.
Immediately after breakfast, dl-
vine service was held in the saloon.
One ncman died in the lifeooat,
three others died on reaching our
deck. Their bodies were buried in
the sea at FIVE o'clock that after
noon. None Of the rescued had any
clothing except what they had on,
and a relief committee was formed
and our passengers contributed
enough for their immediate needs.
ION our way back to New York we
steamed along the edge of a field OF
ice which seemed limitless. AS far
as the eye could see to the north,
there was no blue water. At one
time I counted thirteen icebergs. >.

TALKS TO WINTHROP GIRLS.
Senator TiIlulan Tarries Two Days at
Winthrop.

Senator Tillnan was at Winthrop
College Friday and Saturday stopping
with President Johnson. At Presi-
dent Joohnson's request, he made
& short talk at chapel Saturday
morning. In introducing him, Pres
ident Johnson said that Senator Till
man was admired and honored for
the great work he had done for
South Carolina, but that be was not
honored more for anything than for
bis work for the establishment and
expansion CT Winthrop College.
Senator Tillman announced that
he would make no effort to make a
speech on account OF his health, but
would say a few words to the stu
dents. He recalled the birth and
subsequent growth Of Winthrop col
lege, saying that he had ideals and
dreams for the institution when it
was young and has lived to see the
dreams come true.
He paid high tribute to D. B.
Johnson, president Of Winthrop col
lege, describing him as the right
man in the right place and giving tae
president credit for the wonderful
Of the institution. The
senator concluded: If I had strength

delivered in the senate Friday by
Senator Rayner OF Maryland, who
pictured Ismay as the officer prlmar-

The managing director with his

IF this had happened on an Amer

convicted of manslaughter. If not
of murder, because the evidence is
clear that the vessel was not proper
