New York April isc4The worlds

tense and dramatic moments thar
when all that was left Of the great
company that 80 gaily sailed on the
Titanic appeared last night on the Gu.
nard pier.
No hint OF the story OF their mis-.
cries and Of their sufferings after the
Titanic foundered had come from the
sea. 1t was not known for certain
whether some who had been given M
for dead might appear miraculously
on the gangplank, There were scores
OF people among them, men and wo-
men, whose names were familiar the
country over, who waited in the most
intense suspens" while the Cunarder
with her sad cargo made her way
slowly up the Hudson, passed the
great ships In docks whose flags
showed dimly at half-mast in the bars
Of river light.
Hope Turned to Despair.
There were some Of these who had
not dared to give up all hope, who
fingered still a prey to the most dread
ful uncertainty, who refused to be-
lieve the cruel list Of those that we're
saved, and thought that there might,
after all, appear for them some loved
face, But nearly all Of these we're dis
appointed, and turnes away with looks
that no man who saw the arrival of
the Carpatha will ever forget
The tragedy of the Titanic was
written on the faces Of nearly all Of
her survivors Some, II is true, who
were saved with their families, could
not repress the Joy and thankfulness
that filled their hearts, but they we're
few compared to the number Of the
rescued. Those others bore the Inn
