ably working. prevailed only to delay

EXPLOSIONS BREAK SHIP IN TWO
The position OF the ships wound on
the starboard quarter admitted icy
water which caused the boilers to ex-
plode and those explosions broke the
ship In two.
The crash against the iceberg. which
had been sighted at only a quarter of
. mile. came almost simultaneously
with the click OF the levers operated
from the bridge which stopped the en-
Eines and closed the air-tight doors.
