The Passengers in Inflated
Steamer Tahiti Sign
Suicide Agreement.

New York.-Another chapter Of a
moving sea epic was written when
Mrs. Betty Lilly, survivor of the ILL
fated Tahiti, described the last hours
on hoard the doomed Royal Mail liner.
And for the first time the story Of
a weird suicide pact, signed by six
passengers Of the sinking vessel, came
10 light.
The pact itself was lost in the sea
the day the Tahiti sank. The passen-
gers who signed it have since sep
arated and are now scattered all over
the globe. But Mrs. Lilly, one of the
six members of the Tahiti's suicide
Glib, tells the tale.

w0uld be thousand times better than
perishing inch by inch of heat and
thirst. so we formed our suicide club
I'VE agreed that once we were at
sea IN lifeboats and hope seemed gone.
we would take poison and die quick

Even while we were waiting to go
over the Tahiti's side, we discussed
taking our drops, but we decided to
