Says List of Cabin Passengers Sent Tuesday Is Complete Third Class List Yet te Come 115 First and 167 Second Cabin Passengers Lost. ; Be) oiid even the mystery of how 1 .the mammoth steamer Titanic met) " Its fate another mystery, evolved' . by the events of .ie last three ', ', J days, forced Itself to the front. 1 Although the rescue ship Carpal! Tthta was within the tone of wire-j 1 icss communication ana doiu , , '. ) shore stations and relaying ships ' were able to obtain from It long! ! ', ! lists of survivors among the steer-J age passengers and to send and, ifron and to private individuals,! not a word of matter descriptive T of the manner In which the steam- X er received its deathblow, or how J (those on hoard the doomed liner , comported themselves In the face' of impending doom reached the' shore. . The roll of the saved from the Ti tanic disaster seems complete. Practically every attending circum stance In the transmission of news) from the Carpathia goes to show that only 328 of the 610 cabin passengers of the Titanic are safe on the rescu ship. The 282 cabin passengers whoa turned to despairing onea when th sent ashore by wireless must prob ably be conceded as among the 1,312 lives which the collision of the mam moth new steamer with an iceberg oflt the Newfoundland banks Is believed to hare taken. Thousands of hopeful hearts wer turned to despairing ones when thi United States scout cruiser Chester wirelessed ashore that she had been In communication with the Carpathia and had asked repeatedly for the full list of the first and second cabin sur vivors and that the rescue ship r forUd that all the names had already ten seat ashore. The remainder of 840 persons saved were passengers in the steerage or members of th crew. . From the Carpathia, which Is ex peeled to reach the entrance of tba harbor by 8 o'clock tonight, came a new report as to the number of sur -Ivors on board. Hope for Wireless Mistakes. The fact that one new name cam through in a private message from tha Carpathia was the basis of what was a desire more than a hope that thera were slips enough In her wireless llsta lo soeount for a few at least of thoaa still unaccounted for. At the beat however, It appeared that it could only be an occasional one whose safety ba4 been reported through some error of compilation on the liner or of wireless transmission. List of 8aved Grows Less. Through the Cunarder Franconla, which established wireless communi cation with the rescue ship, came a message which included this state ment: "She hag a total of 705 survlvora aboard." The previous statement from tha Carpathia had been that she carried 868 survivors. It may be that the re port received through the Franconla Included a count of rescued passen gers only, disregarding the 100 o more members of the crew who must have been In the boats which the Car pathla picked up. Communication was being had with the Carpathia through both the scout cruiser and the shore wireless sta tion at fllasconsett. Through the Ches ter there came slowly the names of saved passengers from the third cabin of the Titanic. The very sending of these could but help confirm the fate ful belief that there were no more names of first and second cabin pas sengers to send. And thus the namr of well known men such as John Jacob Aitor, William T. Stead, Isldor Straus and others of the now familiar list of otables could have been omitted la the transmission of names. Thrt these men have gone down with the ship there remained hardly a doubt. Authorities on conditions off the banks agreed that rescues of passengers not taken from the liner by the boats would have hud to be made speedily, as exposure and exhaustion would quickly sap the life of human beings forced to resort to any other means than boats of keeping afloat. Bodies Will Remain Down. Haltltnore, April 18. "The bodies of the victims of the Titanic are at the iottom of the deep, never to leave It," declared Professor Robert W. Wool of the chair of experimental physics of John-Hopkins university. "It Is altogether Improbablo that any of the corpses ever return to the sur face as Is the case with bodies drowned In shallow water. At the depth of two miles the pressure of the water Is something like 6,000 pounds to tho square inch, which Is far too great to be overcome by buoyancy or dinarily given drowned bodies by tb gases generated la time."
