boats would have a chilly half hour
below, and might later be laughed at.
1t was such a feeling as this, from
all accounts, which caused John ia
cob Astor and his wife to refuse the
places offered them In the first boat
and to retire to the gymnasium. In
the same way II. J. Allison, Montreal
banker, laughed at the warning, and
his wife, treasured by him, took her
time about dressing. They and their
daughter did not reach the Carpathia.
Their son, less than two years old,
was carried into a lifeboat by his
nurse and was taken in charge by
Maj. Arthur Peuchen.
The admiration felt by passengers
and crew for the m%atchlessly appoint
ed vessel was translated, in those
first few moments, into a confidence
which, for some, proved deadly.
Lifeboats Are Lacking.
In the loading Of the first boat, re-
strictions of sex were not made, and
1t seemed to the men who piled in be-
side the women that there would be
boats enough for all. But the ships
off GERS knew better than this, and as
the spreading fear caused an earnest
advance toward the suspended craft

and the men were pushed aside.

AS THE TITANIC WENT To IT'S GRAVE

two gongs. a warning Of immediate
danger.
The crash against the iceberg which
had been sighted at only a quarter Of
a mile, came almost simultaneously
with the click Of the levers operated
by those on the bridge, which stopped
the engines and closed the water
tight doors.
Captain Smith was on the bridge a
moment later giving orders for the
summoning OF all IN board, and for
the putting on OF life-preservers and
the lowering OF lifeboats.
Many Men in First Boats.
The first boats lowered contained
more men than the latter ones. els the
men were on deck first and not
enough women to fill them.
When, a moment later, the rush OF
frightened women and crying chill
dren to the deck began, enforcement
Of the women first" rule became rigid.
Officers loading some Of the boats
drew revolvers, but in most cases the
men, both passengers and crew, be
haved In a way that called for no such
restraint.
Report Captain Shot Self.
Revolver shots, heard by many
persons shortly before the end of the
Titanic, caused many rumors. One
was that Captain Smith shot himself,
another was that First Officer Muir
dock ended his life. Smith, Murdoch
and Sixth officer Moody are known
to have been lost. The surviving Of
f1cers, Lightoller, Pitman, Bothall and
Lowe have made no statement.
Members Of the crew discredit all
reports Of suicide, and say Captain
Smith remained on the bridge until
just before the ship sank, leaping only
after those on the decks had been
washed away. 1t Is also related that,
when a cook later sought to pull
him aboard a lifeboat he exclaimed:
Let me go!" and, Jerking away, went
down.

the ship went down. Many OF those
drawn into the vortex, despite the
preservers, did not come up again.
Dead bodies floated on the surface as

Band Plays as Ship Sinks.
To relate that the ships string band
gathered In the saloon, near the end,
and played Nearer, My God, to
Thee" sounds like an attempt to give
an added solemn color to q scene
which was in itself the climax OF SOL
emnity. But various passengers and
survivors OF the crew agree In the
declaration that they heard the music.
To some Of the hearers, with hus-
bands among the dying men in the
water and at the ships rail, the strain
brought in thought the words:

Nearer, my God. to thee,

order in the filling of the Titanic's
lifeboats. How well that order was

Chose Death With Husbands.
Mrs. Isidor Straus, who chose death
rather than to leave her husbands
side; Mrs. Allison, who remained be-
low with her husband and daughter,
and others who, in various ways were
kept from entering the line OF those
to be saved, are striking examples OF
those who faced the disaster calmly.

room kept on with their game.
