First reports we're that the Car.
pnthia had saved but G75 persons. The
new figures reduced the list OF those
whose fate fear was fclt by nearly 200
aud n. az seems probable. all those

with 1900 passengers. 800 Of whom
we're In the first cabin. The crew
numbered over 500
Al lO.i5 Saturday night the Titanic
called for assistance by wireless. re-
porting that she had struck an lee.
berg and was sinking Every vessel
which had picked up tho message i'm
mediatcly made for the doomed ship
The weather was calm and clear. the
Titnnlc'a wireless operator reported
and gave the position OF the vessel
il;iG north latitude and 5O.iI west
longitude
II would seem from all reports that
those who were saved we're placed In
the boats while passengers TO the
number Of $50, and the crew. remained
on the Titanic.

According to the Carpathia's advlcos
the liner, which struck the iceberg at
1895 o'clock Sunday night. sank at
ego o'clock Monday morning, nearly
four houw later. In latitude u 49, longi.
iudc iOli, ar not more than half %
degree south OF the point whore the
collision occurred
II seems improbable from this that
the liner after the accident made much
Roadway under her own steam
Il seems established thcrc we're
about 2lOO persons ON the liner This
was the estimate OF the line officials
In New York. who gave the number
OF passengers ~ i,32O. the remainder
OF $50 making mp the crew
More people OF prominence were on
the Titanic than probably ever before
congrcgatcd on au ocean liner The
toll from the leaders ol society will be-
n heavy one. providing the report OF
the heavy loss Of life proves true.
The Titanic was supposed TO be- nm.
siukoble. and when the news OF the
disaster first came. the steamer on.

would not possibly sink
