aboard, they were sent through to their
terminus, there to turn about and start
back to Tenth Avenue. where the gates
were opened again.
The automobile parking space in
front Of the piers was marked off with
ropes strung from posts some twenty
Feet apart, and dotted with swinging
green traffic lanterns. Three police
men clustered about each post ready to
repel any attempted invasion.
Fifteen automobile trucks from a big
department store drew up in front Of
Pier 60 shortly before o'clock. Each
was fitted with seats and capable Of
holding twenty-four persons. There
was a stretcher tucked beneath the
seats in each truck, and three nurses
accompanied them. They carried 200
blankets.
From the Same store came four tour
Ing cars loaded with the families Of
e. p. Calderhead and J. r. Flynn Of
New York, and ]. r. McGough Of Phil
adelphia, foreign buyers. who had re-
turned on the Titanic.
As early as $50 o'clock more than
600 relatives and friends Of the rescued
ones aboard the Carpathia had reached
the pier: Some 1900 pier passes had
been given out, and by 8 o'clock 1t
seemed that the holder Of the last one
OF these must have arrived. Customs
men directed them to take positions
under the customs alphabetical guide
arrangement. each under the initial OF
the survivor for whom he or she was
waiting.
In the stream OF folk which was con-
stantly passing into the pier came a
committee from the New York Stock
Exchange, carrying $4,000 In cash to
be distributed among those who needed
financial assistance. The money had
been raised on the Exchange by pop
ular subscription and was under escort
Of e. H. Thomas. President OF the
Exchange: Charles Knoblauch, II. N.
Baruch, Charles Holzderber ana J..
Carlisle. It was carried In q big OBJ
long box. Surveyor Henry assigned the
little Custom House on the pier to the
use OF this COMMITTEES.
None dared say what the arrival OF
the Carpathia might bring forth.
but In evidence OF preparation for
an emergency, white-jacketed doctors
walked neryously around the pier.
Nurses In uniform were scattered about
the outer edges Of the crowd. and

inches Of vantage won In deadly Sc
robustness. It was as though they In
the cars felt that they were racing with
death, and In some instances It wa
almost 80.
But at Fifteenth Street Inspector
Russell and several hundred policemen
held the autos up. It was not that the
police would delay their arrival at the
pier toward which they had raced. But
police lines had been formed which ex-
tended from Seventh Avenue west to
Tenth. and from Seventeenth Street
south to Eleventh. The autoists were
passed through the breastworks Of this
defense. but they were diverted from
the Avenue and Fifteenth Street and
turned westward through this thor
oughfare. Fourteenth Street must be
kept clear for the twenty or more am
balances. from all the hospitals of the
city. which were already speeding to-
ward the pier.
Ninth Avenue elevated trains depos-
tied crowds at intervals Of only min
ute or so. at the Fourteenth Street sta
ton. and men and women padded
along the glistening streets. intent on
gaining vantage-point where they
might witness the arrival Of the tt
tanic's survivors. Some among them
came to give aid to those who had suf-
fered. A great majority were spurred
by curiosity, and. for them. the police
had no kindly courtesy.

sentatives also Of the Coroners' Office.
Miss Eva Booth and a delegation
from the Salvation Army were prepared
to furnish clothes and food to any Of
the survivors who needed them. Miss
Booth offered to immigration Commits
sioner William Williams, who was on
the pier with men Of his staff. home
for any OF the steerage passengers who
might require it temporarily. She
planned to send the male passengers to
and to have the women escorted to the
Women's Hotel in West Fifteenth
Street.
Commissioner Williams had squad
Of assistants detailed especially to look
after the storage passengers of the
Titanic and planned to assemble them
on the first floor of the pier where the
immigration men could see that they
were properly identified and registered.
and could aid them In making a speedy
departure. He accepted Miss Booths
offer. Mgr. Lavelle, with ten Sisters OF
Mercy from various Catholic institu-
tfons In New York was on the pier also.
The throng inside the pier was
strangely quiet Here and there a wo-
man wept silently and steadily while

sons were continually pushing In be-

It was approximately 6:1O O'clock
