Seven hundieu and five persons, Sick In heart and body, wrote into the annals of maritime history the loss o. the biggest steamship ever built by man. They were the survivors of the White Stat liner Titanic, which sank bow foremost wkh 1,635 souls aboard Its cuptain at the bridge, Its colors fly ing and its band playing "Nearer, 11 God, to Thee," in 2,000 fathoms ol water off the banks of Newfoundland under starlit skies at 2 : 2 a. 111., Tpril 13.

Captain Smith died, they said, as a gallant sailor should, after having first placed all the women who would gc aooard the lifeboats. There were many who stayed behind to die in their husband's arms. Facts In Bold Relief. From their narratives stand out in bold relief the following facts: The Titanic was making t went -on. knots an hour when it struck the Ice berg No one at first thought it would sink It remained afloat over two ROW The iceberg ripped open its bov. els below the water line. Instant panic was averted by Cap tain Smith's terse appeal to his crew: "Be British, my men." A small number cf steerage passen gers tiled to rush for the lifeboats and were held back by the crew and other passengers. The Titanic turned its nose ror thv bottom when the last lifeboat was leu than a hundred yards away, reared its strn high in the air and trembled for a moment before seeking the bottom There were two explosions when the Inrushing w-p.ters reacnea its boitec When It sank there was silence; a moment later the cries and supplies ttons of l.r.Ou dying men rose in chorus Indescribable over the spot where it w nt down Fo; hours the survvois roweil in lifeboats over a calm scat In bittei cold until the Carpathia picked them up.

Exactly how many died will never be known. If has been established of ficially, liowev.-r, that the Titanic was traveling appn.ximately twenty-six nnd one hplf miles an hour when she hit the iceberg.

Passim? his wife to safety and re turning to death, John Jacob Astor held his wife for a moment in his irms, kissed her tenderly, placed her in a lifeboat, stood off and with a mili tary salute turned back to take his place on the sinking Titanic. This was the storv told by survivors com lm ashore Horn the rescue ship Car pathia. "I did not see it myself, but they to'd me about it. It was fine, said Charles William Daniels of Richmond, as he came ashore. "They said that Astoi stood up as- the boats went away with a military salute a.s he turned to fie ship He kissed his wile as she lift for the lifeboat. "Major Butt took charge of one sec tion of the ship in placing the women in the lifeboats. Small Ra't Held Thirty. Colonel Archibald Oracle, the last man saved, went down with the vessel, but was picked up. Colonel Graice told a remarkable story of personal hardship and. denied emphatically the reports that there had been any panic on board. He praised in the highest terms tne behavior of both the pas sengers and crew, and paid a tribute to the heroism of the women passen gers. "Mrs. Isidor Straus." he said, "went to li r death because she would not desert her husband. Although he pleaded with her to take her place in the boat, she steadfastly refused, and when the snip settled at the head the two were engulfed by the wave that swept her." 8ioux City Plumbers Strike.
