xcssel As one man expressed it. it
was the ” njpossible" that happened
wh«r. th a shock unltepevably mild,
the ship's side was tom for a length,
which made the bulkhead system in
effective.
The Titanic was 1.799 miles from
Queenstown and 1.191 miles from
New York, speeding for a maiden voy
age record. The night was starlight,
the sea glassy. Lights were out in
most of the staterooms, and only two
or three congenial groups remained
in the public rooms.
In the crow's nest, or lookout, and
on the bridge, officers and members
of the crew wore at their places,
awaiting relief at midnight from their
two hours' watch.
Danger Warning Sounded.
At 11:15 came the sudden sound of
two gongs, a warning of immediate
danger.
The crash against the iceberg which
had been sighted at only a quarter of
a mile, came almost simultaneously
with the click of the levers operated
b'. those on the bridge, which stopped
the engines and closed the water
tight doors.
Captain Smith was on the bridge a
moment later giving orders for the
summoning of all on hoard, and for
the putting on of life-preservers and
the lowering of lifeboats.
Many Men in First Beats.
The first boats lowered contained
more men than tfce latter ones, as the
men were on deck first and not
enough women to fill them.
When, a moment later, the rash of
frightened women and crying chil
dren to the deck began, enforcement
of the "women first''rule became rigid.
Officers loading some of the boats
drew revolvers, but in most cases the
men. both passengers and crew, be
haved in a way that called for no such
restraint.
Report Captain Shot Self.
Revolver shots, heard by many
persons shortly before the end^of the
Titanic, caused many rumors. One
was that Captain Smith shot himself,
another was that First Office- Mur
dock ended his life. Smith. Murdock
ant^ Sixth Officer Moody are known
to have been lost. The surviving of
ficers. T.ightoller. Pitman. Rothall and
I-owe have made no statement.
M»niliers of the crew discredit all
reiiorts of suicide, and say Captain
Smith remained on the bridge until
just before the ship sank, leaping only
after those on the decks had been
washed away. It is also related that,
when a cook later sought to puli
him aboard a lifeboat he exclaimed:
"Let me go!" and. jerking away, went
down.
Life-Preservers Effective.
Wbat became of the men with life
preservers is a question asked since
the disaster by many persons. The
preservers did their work of support
ing their wearers in the water until
the ship went down. Many of those
drawn luto the vortex, despite the
preservers, did not come up again.
I>ead bodies floated on tile surface as
the last boats moved away.
Bsr.d Plays as Ship Sinks.
I
I
To relate that the ship's string band
gathered in the saloon, near the end,
and played ' Nearer, My God, to
Thee," sounds lil t? an attempt to give
an added solemn color to a scene
which was in itself the climax ot sol
emnity. But various passengers and
survivors ol the crew agree in the
declaration that they heard the music.
To seme of the hearers, with hus
bands among the dying meti in the
water and at the ship's rati, the strain
brought in thought the words:
"So, by my wees I'll be
Nearer, my God. to thee.
Nearer to thee.”
"Women and children first," was the
order in the filiing’of the Titantes
lifeboats How veil that order was
fulfilled the list ot missing tlrst and
second cabin passengers bears elo
quent witness. ".Mr.” is belore almost
every name.
Chose Death With Husbands.
Mrs. isidor Straus, who chose death
rather than to leave her husband's
I side: Mrs. Ailison, who remained be
| low with her husband and daughter,
ar.d others who, in various ways were
kept from entering the line of those
to be saved, are striking examples of
those who laced the disaster calmly.
To most of the passengers the mid
night crash did not seem or terrific
force. Bridge players in the smoking
i room kept on with their game.
Once on deck, many hesitated to
i enter the rwinging litefcoats. The
| glassy sea, the starlit sky, the ab
! sence, in the first few minutes, of in
tense excitement, gave them the teel
| ing that there was only some slight
mishap—that thos.e who got into the
boats would have a chiliy half boat
below, and might later be laughed at.
it was such a feeling as this, from
all accounts, which caused John Ja
cob Astor and his wife to refuse the
places offered them in the first boat
and to retire to the gymnasium. In
the same way H. .1. Allison. Montreal

The admiration tolt by passengers

Lifeboats Are Lacking.
In the loading of the first boat, re j
strictions of sex were net made, and !
it seemed to the men who piled in be
side the women that there would be
boats enough for all. Rut the ship s
officers knew better than this, and as

w hich, weary hours afterward, reached
the Carpathia.
Pistols Check Steerage Men.
Simultaneously on the tipper decks
o' the ship the ropes creaked with the
low ering of boats, and as they reached
the water those in the boats saw
what those on the decks could not
s<^—that the Titanic was listing rap
idly to starboard, and that her stern
was rising at a portentious angle. A
rush of steerage men toward the
boats was checked by officers with
revolvers in hand.
Pome of the boats, crowded too full
to give rowers a chance, drifted for a
time. None had previsions cr water,
there was a lack of covering irom the
icy air, and the only lights were the
still undimmed arcs and incandescerts
of the settling ship, save for one ot
the first boats. There a steward, who
explained to the p-tssengers that he
had been shipwrecked twice before,
appeared carrying three oranges area
green light.
G^esn Lantern as Sawicr.
That green light, many oi the sur
vivors say, was to the shipwrecked J
hundreds as the pillar of fire 1 y r.sght.
Long after the ship had disappeared,
and while confusing false lights
danced about the boats, the green lan
tern kept them together or. the course
which led them to the Carpathia.
1 As the end of thb Titanic became '
manifestly but n matter of moments,
the oarsmen pulled their boats away,
and the chilling waters began to echo
splash after splash as passengers and
sailors in life preserTers leaped over
and started swimming away to es
cape the expected suction.
Icy Water Brings Death.
Oniy the hardiest of constitutions
could endure for more than a lew mo
ments such a numbing bath. The
first vigorous strokes gave way to
heartbreaking cries of "Help! Help!’’
and stiffened forms were seen, the
faces relaxed in death.
Revolver shots were heard in the
ship's last moments. The first report
spread among the boats was that Cap
tain Smith had ended his life with a
bullet. Then it was said that a mate
had shot a steward who tried to push
his way upon a boat against orders.
None of these tales have been veri
fied. and many of the crew say the
captain, without a preserver, leaped
in at the last and went down, refusing
a ccok's offered aid.
Last Lifeboat Is Capsized.
The last of the boats, a collapsible,
was launched too late to get away,
and was overturned by the ship's
sinking. Some of those in it—all. say
some witnesses—found safety on a
raft, or were picked up by J^feboats.
In the Marconi tower, almost to the
last, the loud click of the sending in
strument was heard over the waters.
Who was receiving the message, those
in the boats did not know, and they
would least of all have supposed that
a Mediterranean ship in the distant
South Atlantic track would be their
rescuer.
Music Was a Sacrament.
As the screams in the water multi
plied another sound was heard, strong
at first, then fainter in the distance
It was the melody of the hymn.
"Nearer. My (tod. to Thee," played by ,
the string orchestra in the dining j
saloon. Seme of those on the water
started to sing the words, but grew i
silent as they realized that for the
men who played, the music was a sac
rament soon to be consummated by
death. The serene strains of the .
hymn and the frantic cries of the dy- j
it-r 1 leaded in a symphony ot sorrow.
Titanic Goes to Bottom.
Led by the green light, under the
light cf the stars, the boats drew
away, and the bow. then the quarter,
ei: the stacks, end at last the stern
lc marvel-ship of a few days he

-.xteen boats were in the forlorn
i -ccession which entered on the terri

bands and sons. Sailors sobbed for
the ship which had been their pride.
>.! n choked back tears and sought to
comfort the widowed. Perhaps, they
said, other boats might have put off in
another direction toward the last.
They strove, though none too sure
themselves, to convince the women ot
the certainty that a rescue ship would
appear.

Soon afterward. Captain Kostron

Men Praised by Women.
One of the few women able to give
an account of the disaster was Miss
Cornelia Andrews of Hudson. X. Y.
Miss Andrews said she was in the last
boat to be picked up.
"The behavior of the men.” she said,
“was wonderful—the most marvelous
I have ever beheld.”
'Did you see any shooting?" she
was asked.
“Xo.” she replied, “but one officer
did say he would shoot some of the
steerage who were trying to crowd in
to the boats. Many jumped from tbe
decks. I saw a boat sink."
Viss Andrews was probably refer
ring to the collapsible boat which
overturned. She said that tbe sinking
of tbe ship was attended by a noise
such as might be made by the boilers
exploding. She was watching the ship,
she said, and it looked as if it blew
ur; anyhow, it broke in two.
Green Lantern Saves Many.
Henry Stengel of Xewark said it .
was only the forethought of a member
cf the boat crew who was quick-wit- |
tel enough to snatch up three green '
lights that saved a number of the
lives cf those adrift in the tiny life
boat.
“These green lights." he said,
‘shining through the darkness en
abled the other boats' crews to keep
close together in the ice tilled wa
ters."
Mr. Stengel put his wife in a boat
and then followed. He said that early
the next morning, shortly after they
had been picked up, they saw floating
far away a gigantic iceberg, with two
peaks shining in the morning sun.
This was the berg that sent the Ti
tanic to the bottom, he thought.

He Felt to Be Altogether Su
perfluous.
When Robert H. Davis was young
and loose in the feet he once wan
dered into a little Mississippi town
i: was a bright day in the early spring
and he walked down one street. By
and by he came to the courty jail—
a two-storied affair, stande e flush
w ith the sidewalk "There was a ne
gro pressing his face agu'ns: the
barred window on the second floor."
said Mr Davis, "lioiding on to the
bars and yawning. P; and by an old
negro came limping along the street
toting a whitewash bucket.
“ 'Hello. I'ncle Eph'm.' says the one
in the window.
'“Howdy.' says Eph'm. limping
on.
“ 'Wait a minute. nude,' says this
lonesome negro in the window What
time is it. unde!'
'"I'ncle Ephraim limped right on.
He hardly looked up.
‘“Whft r.'Tdtiice does it make to
you. n'.ggah!' he asked You ain't

Story of a Bible.
A case that had to do with the theft
of a Bible was before the grand jury
j some time ago and after it had been
disposed of, George \Y Seibert, fore
man of the jury, related a story in
which a Bible figured prominently. Mr.
Seibert sa;d that his mother had giv
en him an old-fashioned family Bible
when he married. About two years
after his marriage Mr Seibert needed
money, he said, aud had almost de
cided to dispose of the Bible When
such thoughts were o< copying his
mind. Mr. Seibert picked up the Bible
one day and began turning over the
leaves of the book. Me had passed
■ over several pages when his eyes fell
on two $i>0 bills. IBs mother had
placed them in the Bible when she
ha t presented the book to him. Mr.
Seibert still has the Bible.—Indian

Needn't Kiss Husband.
Supreme Court Justice Mai can in
Brooklyn, dismissed the suit of Sam
uel Markowitz. a New York real es
tate br> her. for the annulment of his
marriage to Mildred Markowitz.
"It is absurd to frame such issues.”
Justice Mareau said. “Practically the
plaintiff asks an annulment of his
marriage to the girl because she re
fused to kiss him.”
The young woman was eighteen
years old when she married Marko
witz. who. as alleged, had already had
four w ives. of whom two had died
and two were divorced.
