officers. and the shrill screams of the
women passengers. started wild pan
dcmoEium.
Many of the women were in the cabin
on the upper deck, while others sat IN
steamer chairs outside. When the
crash came those on the inside made a
wild rush for the doors. thinking the
boat was about to sink. The force OF
their exit showed those on the deck

and confusion.

AS soon as the first shock Of the col

on the deck with his officers and shout

so restoring the confidence of the
women and children that they consent

After the crew had made thorough
