night, in a smooth sea, and with no

were taken to ascertain the damage,
and to save the passengers and ship.
Orders were given to put on life
belts and boats were lowered. The
ship sank at about 2:20 Monday, and
the usual distress signals were sent
out by the wireless, and rockets were
sent at intervals from the ship. For
tunately the wireless message was
received by Cunard's Carpatnia about
midnight, and she arrive- on the
scene of the disaster about 4 a. m.

"The officers and crew Of the
steamship Carpathia had been pre-
pairing all night for the rescue and
comforts o fthe survivors, and the
last mentioned were received on
board with the utmost care and kind
ness the every attention being CIV

vast enclosure of the company peo-

precautions and limit which had

As the Carpathia was passing into
her slip, she was surrounded by news
paper boats, and there were frequent
flashes from cameras which were
taking flashlight photographs of the
rescue slip, punctuating the silence
like a series Of bombs.
Scores of white clad hospital at
tendants were on hand with stretch

was also a detail from the coroners
staff. Many invalid chairs also
rolled UP to the pier entrance and
were placed in waiting.
When the ship docked at $3.50 the
gang plank was quickly lowered, and
doctors and nurses went aboard. The
first survivors began to leave the
ship at $50. AS they came into the
street a dead silence fell over theI
crowds. .-~-,
