FIRST STORY OF WRECK BY SUR VIVOR IS TALE
 OF INTENSE HORROR

The fourth officer was in one of them but I cannot say which one All was confusion. The ropes broke and the people were thrown into the water and drowned or killed. When the captain saw what happened, he cut the tackle of the other boats, so that they could not be launched
 We were so glad when we saw the Carmania coming for We said Now we shall be saved.
 The firemen rushed up from below and refused to go back. The captain drew his revolver and drove them be- low, but soon after as the fire was spreading they were obliged to abandon the engines.
 As soon as the Carmania was sight ed, the captain made all the women and children go to one side and the men to the other side. He was compelled to leave the bridge and go aft because it was too hot The women wept, shrieked, laughed and became hysteri- cal.
 We had not thought of food, but in the afternoon we considered it bet ter to get something and went to the kitchens, which we found deserted. We made coffee, helped ourselves to bis cult and beef but most of the passen- gers refused to eat. We saw rafts sent from the Carmania but nobody told us to jump in, in fact, we knew not what they were there for. About 6 o'clock the decks aft began to get very hot, but We did not seem to feel the heat"
 When shown his boot with sole half burned through, Trintepohl said:
 "I don't remember this, but it was awful when the flames burst open Some of the men and women tore their hair, but others were quite still.
 After the explosion I thought it bet ter to jump, for I am a good swim mer and an English passenger and one of the crew said they would accompany me. I jumped first; they followed, but l never saw them again.
 T made for the German ship, but they did not hear me. Then I came toward the Carmania and shouted help" and was seen by the aid of a searchlight. I was about an hour in the sea and became half unconscious. know not how l was got out"
 Durin the day five sailors and one steward fell into the fire, burned to death. I know nothing more. | came away because it was too hot to stay any longer, and I feared the whole ship would blow up."
 When Trintepohl was told that ac- cording to the captains wireless message six boats had been launched, and two got away. he said: "tI is not so I was there all the time and saw no boat go away. MT. Spur eeon in his own account tells of att tempts to get Hfeboats alongside the NOlturno.
 Nothing" he said, was seen Of the two boats launched with about 20 passengers, each after they Jeff the Volunturnos side Four others smashed against the ships side, and the occupants were either killed or drowned.
 At o'clock Thursday night the captain of the Voluturno sent a des- pairing message which said:
 For Gods sake help us or We rerish"
 By miracle the flames did not spread to the afterdeck. Eventually the seas moderated. and the boats numbers 126
 The wireles optrator aboard the Carmania sent this message:
 Two boats were lowered from the VclturnO before the Carmania ar rived and no passengers were lost The disembarkatiOn commenced be- fore daylight The total number lost is 136 as far as known"
 A message from the captain of the Dtvonian, one of the rescuing steam CTS. said that he had 59 survivors aboard, comprising IS men, 20 Wom en ard 21 children, all well. This is the number previously reported
 A wireless message from the Sey- diitz. forwarded from Bremen. said she has aboard 46 survivors, instead of 36 as previously reported. This would account for tht ten supposed tc have been aboard tht Carmania the latter steamer having been cred ited with II survivors, whereas she is bringing only one.
 Among the first-class passengers on the Volturno there were only two Americans. John Krug and Frieda krug.
