Story of the Worst
Disaster of the Sea
As Told BY Survivors

New York. April 19.--The Titanic
disaster as written into history today
by many of the 745 survivors, accounts
for the loss of 1859 persons at sea
OFF New Founland banks early Monday
and the subsequent death Of six per-
sons who had been rescued, bringing
the total lives lost up to 1886.
These official figures magnify great
" the estimates which had come by
wireless and the stories the survivors
tell make certain as already had been
judged from the meagre mireless re-
ports that the disaster is the greatest
ocean travel has ever known.
The big facts which come to the
surface in the food of narratives are
that 1886 persons met death, that
there is hardly a shadow Of hope this
grand total viii be curtailed by q
single additional survivor, and that
several men of wealth and world wide
prominence are. as had been feared for
several days, among those who per-
ished, that practically only the women
who were not saved were those who
chose to die with their husbands, that
nearly all survivors cay the Titanic
sank and that they heard the music OF
the orchestra playing Nearer My God
to Thee, mingling with the shrieks of
the drowning as the vessel sank in
1000 fathoms.
The Titanic struck an iceberg about
ninety feet high a glancing blow. which
ripped the liners sides open and made
the water tight compartments useless,
while the vessel was gradually sinking
the icy water reached her steaming
boilers, causing an explosion which
eent her to the bottom.
Among the hundreds on her decks
to the last were Col. John Jacob Astor,
Mai Archibald Butt. Benjamin Gug-
genheiTn, Jacques Futrelle, George d.
Widneer, Henry B. Harris and scores
OF other well known persons.
Isadore Straus was among them, also
with Mrs, Straus. who refused to leave
her husband behind when she had the
opportunity to save herself.
Major Butt with an iron bar in his
hand is said to have stood at the
steerage passage and defended the
women and children from the mad
dened men. Astor is also said to have
met his fate bravely after seeing his
bride to the life boat. drawing aside
to watch the women step to safety
and awaiting his own fate.
It was only because the maximum
Of the Titanic's life boats held barely
one third Of the complement Of the
ships crew and passengers, that hum
dreds OF despairing passengers had to
be left to their fate.
y. Bruce Ismay, managing director
or the International Mercantile Marine
Co., which owned the Titanic, is said
by some passengers to have been one
of the first to get into a life boat. but
this is denied by Ismay
Stunned By the immensityl of the
tragedy, he had little to say except that
he had heard of the investigation
which the United States senate had be-
gun ana expressed full Willingness to
assist the senate committee in its IN
quAy. He agreed to appear before
the committee here today.
The surviving passengers are unani-
irnpus that the unbelievable happened.
The voyage had been pleasant and UNI
eventful. The Titanic had been maxi
ing good time and all accounts agree

upper decks where they were met by
members of the crew, who endeavored

from the bottom of the boat and
thrown into the sea-"
