announced that The total number Of survivors on board the Carpathia was
7o5, consisting of 2o2 first, us second, i7s third class passengers, 26
crew and four officers. He estimates the number Of dead at 1865, as the
White Star now admits there were 2,34o persons aboard the Titanic In.
stead Of The ZOO first given out. The excess is said 10 be due to an
underestimate of the crew.
