Now York. April 1S.-Somcwhere In
the Atlantic. pointed direct for this
port the Cunard Liner Carpathia is
speeding along as fast as her engines
VIII drive hcr. bringing in the SIS
members of the passengers and crew
OF The White Star Liner Titanic
which sank early Monday morning.
500 miles off New Foundiand. after
her collision with an Iceberg. Since
the Cunarder left the scene of the
wreck. probably about 1890 o'clock
Monday morning, no word has been
received from her. She will make no
stop until she reaches this port. and
mere she VIII not be held up at quar-
antine for, since leaving here. for a
cruise in the mediterranean. she has
stopped at no foreign port Never
theless. IL is not believed that the
liner can reach before lato Thursday
afternoon or early Friday moraIng.
Then she will go direct to the Cunard
fier at the foot Of Twelfth. Thir-
teenth. and Fourteenth Streets, and
the North River.
Not Until then, perhaps. Will it he
known Just how many Of The PAS
senSers of the Titanic have been
saved. So far only 400 names have
been wireless from the Carpathia,
though it was reported that S6S were
saved. Certain il is that l.252 of the
ships complement of 2.l20 souls have
been lost. but who are the s6S that
have been saved cannot be told.
II Is known that the Carpathia was
in wireless communication with tn,
Olympic, OF the White Star Line. as
late as 2:3o A NJ. Monday, and the
Olympic. with her greater wireless
range, sent the list OF those rescued and
then aboard thu carpathia to the
wireless station at Cape Race. y. h.
But at 2:3O o'clock the Olympic ceased
adding more names 70 the list of res
cued. though the steamer continued in
wireless communication with Cape
Race for another hour finally steam
ing out OF range with message OF
farewell about daybreak
Why the last named hour was not
utilized TO send more names OF res
cued pass anSers, IL such were aboard
the Carpathia, cannot be guessed. 1t Is
possible that the Carpathia got out OF
range of the Olympic while that steam
CT was still In communication with
Cape Race. 1t is possible also, how
ever, that OF the S6S persons saved, al
, but the list which the Olympic relayeu
are members OF the crew
eth tadHtb.u ofdlRo mfw
Many OF the crew would have been
needed to man the lifcboats. How
many would be required for this SER
vice is not known exactly. II tho
Olympic ceased sending names because
she had completed the list of passcn-
gers saved It would seem that some
lS6 men OF the crew were required 20
save 400 passengers.
Efforts TO reach the Carpathia to
ask for additional names OF other pas
sengers on board have failed No
/ word has been received from the boat
since the last one rclayed by the Olym-
! pic AS she nears port, however. the
Carpathla must come within range
of the wireless station at Siusconsy.t :.
on Nantucket. and tho string Of sta
lions along the south shore OF Long
Island.
1t may be that then sre viii! add
other names to the list which she
has sent already and offer suitable
! explanation of why the sending ceased
when the wireless communication with
shore could still be had
