great White Star liner Titanic, whit*

The peat liner went clowq with ber

death all but 745 of her Woman cargo
of 1,1160 souls.
To this atrial 'bath list six parecas

early confusion atteodant upon the

by .„the great mass of ice she struck
amidshipo, the Titanic's side was laid
opm as if by a gigentic can -opener.
She quickly listed to starboard and
a shower of ice fell on to the forecastle
deck. Shortly before she sank she
broke in two abaft the engine -room.
and as she disappeared beneath the
water the eirpuloion cid air mooed two

by the survivors adrift. A moment
more and the Titanic had gone to her
doom, with the feted hundreds group-
ed on the afterdeek. To the survivors
they were visible to the last, and their
arias and moans were pitiable.
E. Z. Taylor of Philadelphie, ,one
d the ear vivors, jumped into the
sea Piet three minutes before the boat
gunk. He told a grapbic story as
be came from the Carpathia.
"I area eating when Use boat struck

awful shock, thot made the boat trem-

then I could see ice. It was a verit-

rocking over it. I should say that
parts of the iceberg were SO feet high.
but it had been broken into sections,
probobly by our ship.

graphioally descrtbes the sinking of
the Titanic
-
"And then there fell on the ear the
most appalling sound that human be-
ing ever listened to -the cries a
hundreds of our fellow -being strug-
glino in the icy oold water, crying
for help with a cry that we knew
oould not be answered. We longed
to return and pick up some of those
swimming, but this would have meant
'tramping our boat and further lose
of the lives of all of us.
"We tried to sing to keep the wo-
men from hearing the cries, and row-
ed hard to get away from the mons
of the wreck, but I think the memory
of those pounds will be one of the
things the rescued will find it hard
to' efface from memory. We me all try-
ing hard not to think of it."
"What • in your opinion was the
cause of the accident?" asked a re-
porter of liefeatior Pathe
of Toronto,
as he step on to e Cunard pi
cer
from the arpathia last evening. "T
say it was carelessness, gross care-
lessness." declared Major Peuchen
with emphasis. "Why, the captain
knew we were going into an toe field,
and why should he remain dining in
the saloon when such danger was
about"
Another story of British °extras*
concerns Mrs. Richard Otter a Be-
rea, whom husband was a passenger.
She rushed to the hoots of her broth-
er-in-law, Wm. H. (Morn in Clew -
land, when she heard of the disaster,
and scanned the list of survivors, but
her husband's name was not there.
She was near collapse until she read
that men had sacrificed their lives
that women and children might live.
"It is hard to loee him.' said Mrs.
Otter yesterday, "but it is fine to
think he went as he did. I think it
is right the men should stand beck.
It will be a wonderful thing for our
•son to remember that his father died
• hero. My husband was an Eng-
lislunan, and I shonkl want him to
meet his end bravely."

Washington, Auril 23. -With suc-
cor only five miles away, the Titanic
slid into its watery grave, carrying
with it more than 1,000 of its passen-
gers and crew. while an unidentified
steamer that might have saved all,
failed or refused to see the frantic
signals flashed to it for aid.
This phase of the tragic disastei
waa brought out la.st night before the
Senate investigation committcr. when
J. E. Boxhall, fourth officer of the
1.Titanic. told of his unouccessful at-
tempts to attract the stranger's atten-
nog. This ship. according to Bot-
hell, could not have been more than
five miles away and was steaming
toward the Titamc. So dose was it
that from the bridge Bothell plainly
saw its masthead lights, and then its.
red side light. Both with rockets and
with the Morse electric signal did the
yarns offioer hail the stranger.
, Captain Smith and several others
I in the vicinity of the bridge declored

' eel had seen them and was signaling

replies, however. and in any case the
steamer kept on its course obliquely

i Among the wireless telegrams read
into the record was one from Mr. Is -
may urging that the steamship Cedric
be held until the Carpathia arrived

The committee resumed its hearing
I at 10 o'clock this morninst.
l Fourth Officer Boxhall is expected
I to continue on the stand to tell more
fully of the events immediately pre-
ceding the collision.
J. B. Bothell, the fourth officer of
the Titanic. after giving his account
of the events ol the fateful night, told
I of mine another steamship a few
1 miles- away. By the captain'? orders
I he had gone to the wireless room to
I give the operators the ship'S position.
Then he went back to the lifeboats,
where he found many. men and„women•
with lifebelts on. He continued.
"Mips' that I was on the bridge
most of the time sending out distress
signals. trving to attract the attention
, of boats ahead," he said. "I sent up
' distreserockete until I left the ship.
to try to attract the attention of a
ship directly ahead.' I had seen her
lights. She seemed to be meeting us
and not far &nay.
"Sbe got close enougb, so she seem-
ed to me, to read our electric Morse
signals. I told the captain. He stood
with me muob of the time, trying to
signal bit. He told me to tell her
to Morse roeket signals, 'Conte at
once -we are sinking'."
"Did any answer coon?" asked Sen-
ator Smith.
"I did not see them, but two men
say they saw signals from that ship."
"How far away do you think the

them."
i "Sopron yoa had had a powerful
inarehligtit on the Titanic could you
have thrown a beam on the vessel
and have °emptied her attention?"
"We might."
1Boxhall gave testimony which will
probably allow the committee to test
the accuracy of a story by a steward
to the effect that the men in the
erow's nest had reported ice ahead
and First Officer Murdock had dis-
regarded the warning. Bothell said

less it be 101 "George W. Widen,'

The original passenger lista of the

which apparently establishes the
identity of the body as that of Mr.

director of the White Star Line. Mr.
Widener's son Harry was also among
the victims.
The list. as reviewed at the White

The bearing was abandoned without

tion of state rights would arise to
