FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL .1.9. 1912 APHIC STORIES OF TITANIC DISASTER TOLD BY SURVIVORS is Splendid Discipline as Women Placed in Boats INO ALARM WHEN TITANIC STRUCK Survivors Saw Gigantic Liner Rear on End for Final Plunge—No Panic (Bjl Dally News Leased Wlrcl NEW YOKK, April 18.—Following fs Itbc account of tho Titanic disaster as ■given by Mr. Beustey of London: "The voyage from Qucenslown had Iboen quite uneventful; very fine ■weather was experienced nnd the sea ■Was quite calm. The wind had ..been ■westerly to southwesterly the whole Itime but very cold, particularly the Ilast day; In fact, after dinner on Sun I day evening It wns almost too cold I to be on deck at all. 1 had been in my ■ berth for about 10 minutes when, at I about 11:15, I felt a slight jar and I then soon after a second one, but not [sufficiently to cause any anxiety to 1,'o.nyone, however nervous they may [.have been. However, tho -engines I Btopped immediately afterward and I my first thought was 'She hus lost a I propeller.' I went up on the top J (boat) deck in a dressing gown and I found only a lew people there, who I had come up similarly to inquire as to I why we had stopped, but there was I no sort of anxiety in the mind of I anyone. We saw through the smok- I Ing room window n game of cards go- ling on and. went in to inquire if they I know anything; It seems they had, J felt more of the jar, and looking I through the window hud seen a huge I Iceberg go by close by the side of the I boat. They thought we hud just I grazed It with a glancing blow and I that the engines had been stopped to I see If any damage had been done. No lone, of course, had nny conception Ithat she had been pierced below by ■ part of the submerged Iceberg. The Igume went on without any thought of Idlsaster and then I retired to my cabin | to read until we went on again. I I never saw any of tbe players or the I onlookers again. "A little later, hearing people going Jupslulrn I went out aga'n and found loveryone wanting to know why tho I engines had stopped. No doubt many I were awakened from sleep by the stid- Idon stopping of a vibration to which I thoy had become accustomed during I the Jpur days \ve had been on board. I Naturally, with such powerful engines las tbe Titanic carried, the vibration I was very noticeable all tho time, and I the sudden stopping had something of I the same effect us the stopping of a I loud ticking grandfather's clock In a I room. "On going on deck again, I saw that I there was an undoubted list down- Iwurti from stern to bow, but knowing 1 nothing of what had happened con- t eluded 'some of the front compurt- Iments had filled and weighed her | down. I wont down again to put on I warmer clothing and as 1 dressed ■ heard an order shouted: 'All passen- Igers on dock with lifebelts on!' "We lull walked slowly up with them tied Ion over our fclothing, hut even then I presumed this was a wise precaution I Die captain wns taking, and that we ■ should return in a short time and ro- I tire to bedi Absence of Panic. "There wns a total absRneo pf uny paplc or any expressions of alarm and I suppose this can be accounted for by the exceedingly calm night and the absence of any signs of the accident. The ship was absolutely still and except for a gentle tilt downward, which I don't think one person In 10. would have noticed at that time; no signs of the approaching disaster were visible. She lay just as if she were waiting the order to go on again when some trifling matter had been adjusted. But in a few moments wo-saw tho covers lifted from the boats and the crews allotted to . them standing by and curling up the. ropes which were to lower them by the pulley blocks into the water. Man From Boats. "We then began to realize It was more serious than had been supposed and my first thought was to get down and get more clothing and some money, but seeing people pouring up tho stairs decided It was better to cause no confusion to people coming up by doing so. Presently we heard the order, 'AH men stand back away from the boats and nil ladies retire to next dcok below!' (the^smoklng room deck or R deck). The men all stood away and remained in absolute silence, leaning against the end ralling3 of the deck or pacing slowly up and down, The boats were swung out and lowered from 'A' deck. When they were to tho level of 'R' deck, where all the ladies were collected, Ihe ladies got In quietly with the exception of some who refused to leave their husbands. In some cases they were torn from them and pushed into the boats, but In many instances they were allowed to remain because there was no one to insist. Already in Water. "Looking over the side 1 saw boatB from aft already In the water, slipping quietly away into the darkness, and especially the boats near to me were lowered; and with much creaking as the now ropes, slipped through the pulley blocks down the 90 feet which separated them from the water. 'An officer In uniform came up as one boat went down and shouted: 'When you lire afloat row 'round the companion ladder and stund by with the other boats for orders!' "'Aye, nyo, sir,' came up the reply, but I don't think any boat was able lo obey the order. When they were afloat and had tbe oars at work tbe condition of the rapidly settling boat was so much more a s'ght for alarm for those- In the boats than those on board that in common prudence the sailors saw they could do nothing but row from Ihe sinking ship to snve at any rate some lives. They, no doubt, anticipated that suction from such an enormous vessel would be more than usually dangerous to a crowded boat mostly filled with women. All this time there was no trace of any disorder; no panic or rush to the boats, arid no scenes of women sobbing hysterically such as one generally pictures as happening at such times, Everyone seemed to realize so slowly that there llwas imminent danger. When it was realized that we might all be presently In the sea, with nothing but our lifebelts to support us until wc were picked up by passing steamers it was extraordinary how calm ovcryono was and bow completely sclf-eonlrolled. Jumped to Boat. "Ono by one the boats were filled with women and children, lowered and rowed away into the night. Presently the word wenl around among the men, 'The men are to be put in boats- on the starboard side.' I wos on the port side and most of the men walked across the deck, to sec if this was so. 1 remained where I was and presently heard tho call; 'Any more ladles?' "Looking over the side-of tbo ship I saw the boat, No. 13, swinging level with 'B' deck half full of ladies. Again tbe call was repeated: 'Any more ladies?' I saw none como on and then one of tlie crew looked up and said: 'Any ladies on your deck, sir?' 'No,' I replied. 'Then you better jump.' Baby Passed Down. "I dropped In and fell In Ihe bottom is they cried: 'Lower away!' "As tbo boat began to descend two ladles were pushed hurriedly through the crowd on 'IV deck and heaved over , (Continued on page two.)

(By lially News Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, April 18.—The following statement, Issued by a committee of the surviving passengers, was given the press on the arrival of the Carpathia; "We, the undersigned surviving pas t-engers from the steumshlp Titanic, in order to forestall any sensational or exaggerated statements, deem It our duty to give lo the press a statement of the facts which have come to our knowledge and which we believe to be true. "On Sunday, April 14, 1912, at about 1-1:40 p.m., on a cold., starlit night, in a smooth sea and with no moon, the ship Struck on iceberg which had been reported lo the bridge by lookouts, but not early enough lo avoid colli slon. Steps were taken to ascertain the damage* and save the passengers and ship. Orders were given to put on life belts and the boats were lowered. The ship sank about 2:20 a.m. Monday and the usual distress signals wero sent out by wireless and rockets fired at Intervals from the ship. 'The English bbard of trade passengers certificate oa board' the Tltantic allowed .for a total of approximately 3,500. The same certificate called for 1 fe boat accomodation for approximately 050 In ihe following boats; '/Fourteen large lifeboats, two smaller boats and four collapsible boats. Life preservers were accessible and apparently In sufficient number! for all on board. "The approximate number of passengers carried ut the time of the collision was: First class, 330; 'second class, 320; third class, 750; total, 1,400, Officers and crew, 040; total, 2,340. "Of tho foregoing about the following were rescued hy the Carpathia: First class, 210; second class. 125; third class. 200; officers, 4; seamen, 30; stewards, 06; firemen, 71; total, 210 of the crew. The total of about 745 saved was about 80 per cent of llie maximum capacity of the lifeboats. Inadequate Apparatus. "Wc feel it our duty to .call the attention of the public to what wc consider tlio inadequate supply of life- saving apparatus provided for on modern steamships and recommend that Immediato steps be taken t« compel passenger steamers to curry sufficient bouts lo accommodate tlio maximum number of people carried on board. The following facts were observed and should be considered in this connection: Not Sufficient Officers. "The Insufficiency of lifeboats, rafts, etc.; lack of trained seamen to man same (stokers, stewards, etc., arc not efficient boat handlers); not enough officers to carry out emergency orders on tho bridge and superintend the launching nnd control of lifeboats; absence of searchlights. Boats Too High. "Tho board of trade rules allow for entirely too many people in each boat to permit the same to be properly bandied. On the Titanic the boat deck was about 75 feet above water and consequently the passengers were required to embark before lowering the boats, thus endangering the operation and preventing the taking on of the maximum number the boats would hold. Boats at all times to be properly equipped wilh provisions, water, lamps, compasses. lights, etc. Life- saving boat drills should be more frequently and thoroughly carried out; and officers should lie armed at boat drills. There should be greater reduction in speed In fog and ice, as damage if collision actually occurs Is liable to be less. In conclusion, we suggest that an international conference be called to recommend the pass- ago of Identical laws providing for tlie safety of all at sea. and we urge the United Slates government to take the initiative as soon ns possible." The statement was signed by Samuel Goldenborg, chairman, nnd a committee of some 2H passengers. CANADIAN FELLOWS OF ROYAL COLONIAL INSTITUTE {Western Associated PreBs.)

(Dy Dally News ceased Wire.) NEW YORK, April 18.—The Cunnrd liner Carpathia, a ship of gloom and succor, came Into New York tonight wilh the first news direct from the great While Star liner Titanic, which sank off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland early on Monday morning last. The great liner went down with her band playing, taking with her to death all but 745 of her human cargo of 2,340 souls. To this awful death list six persons were added, One died in the life boats which were put off from the liner's side and five subsequently succumbed on the rescue ship Carpathia. The list of prominent men missing stands as previously reported and the total death list as brought to port tonight by the Carputhla Is 1601. Reports Disagree. Survivors in the lifeboats huddled In the darkness at a safe distance from the stricken ship and saw her go down. As to the scene on board when the liner struck, accounts disagree widely. Some maintain that a comparative calm prevailed, others say that wild disorder ibroke out and that there was a maniacal struggle for the lifeboats. That the liner struck an iceberg as reported by wireless was confirmed by all. Say Captain Shot Himself. Sensational rumors told by hysterical passengers, who would not glvo their names, said that Captain Smith had killed himself on the bridge, that the chief engineer hud taken his life andf thut three Italians were shot in the struggle for the boats. These rumors could not be confirmed in the early confusion attending the landing of the survivors. Gigantic Can Opener. Rent by the great mass of ice she struck the Titanic's side'Was laid open as if by a gigantic can opener. She gulckly listed to starboard and a shower of ice fell onto the forecastle deck. Shortly before she sank she broke In two abaft tlio engine room, >ind as she disappeared benouth the water the expulsion of air caused two explosions, which were plainly heard by the survivors adrift. A moment more and the Titanic had gone to her doom with the ill-fated hundreds grouped on the afterdecks. To the survivors they were visible to the lust ■tnd their erics and moans were pitiable. Was No Panic. Col. Archibald Grade, U.S.A., tho Inst man saved, went down with the vessel but was picked up. Colonel Grade told u remarkable story of personal hardship and denied emphatic- illy the reports lhat there had been n panic on board. He praised in the highest terms the behavior of both the. officers and the crew and paid a high tribute tn the heroism of the women passengers. Refused to Leave Husband. "Mrs. Isidor Straus," lie said, "went to her 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 ship settled at the head the two were engulfed by the waves that swept her." Colonel Grade told of how he was driven to the topmost deck when the ship settled nnd was tlie sole survivor after the wave that swept her just before her final plunge had passed, "I jumped with the wave," said he, "just as I often have jumped with tiie Breakers at the seashore. By great good fortune 1 managed to grasp the brass railing on the deck above and 1 hung on by might and main. When the ship plunged down I was forced to let go and I was whirled around and around for what seemed to be an Interminable time. Event un Hy I came to the surface to find the sen a mass of tangled wreckage. "Luckily I was unhurt and easting about managed to seize a wooden grafting floating nenr by. S Found Cork Raft, "When 1 had" recovered my breath I discovered a larger canvas and cork life raft which had floated up. A man whoso name I did not learn was struggling lownrd It from some wreckage to which he had clung. I cast off and helped him to got on the raft nnd we began the work of fescnlng those who had Jumped Into the sea nnd were floundering In .the water. "When dawn broke there were 30 of us on the raft, standing knee deep In the icy water and afraid to move Iest: the creaky craft be overturned. Seyerul unfortunates, benumbed and half dead, besought us to save them and one or two made an effort to reach us but we had to warn them away. Had we made any effort to save them we all might have perished. "The hours that elapsed before we were picked up by the Carpathia were the longest and most terrible that I over spent. Practically without any sensation of feeling because of the ley water, we were almost dropping from fatigue. We were afraid to turn around and when someone who was facing the stern passed the word that something that looked like a steamer was coming up a man became hysterical from the strain. The rest of ua, too, were nearihg the breaking point." Only One Shot. Colonel Grade denied with emphasis that any men were fired upon and declared that only once was a revolver discharged. "This was for the purpose q6 intimidating some steerage passengers," he said, "who had tumbled into a boat before it was prepared for launching. This shot was fired In the air, and when the foreigners were told that the next would be directed at them they promptly returned to the deck. There wus no confusion and no panic." Contrary to the general expectation, there was no jarring impact when the vessel struck, according to the army officer. He Was in his berth when the. vessel smashed Into tbe submerged portion of tho berg and was aroused by the jar. He looked at his watch, he suid, and found It was just midnight. The ship sank with him at 2:22 a. m., for his watch stopped at that hour. Hays' Premonition. "Before I retired," said Colonel Grade, "I had a long chat with Charles M. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway. One of the lust things Mr. Hays suld was this: 'The White Star, the Cunaxd and the Hamburg-American lines are devoting their attehtion and Ingenuity In Vising with each other to attain the supremacy In luxurious ships and in making speed records. The time will come soon when this will be checked by some appalling disaster.' Poor fellow! A fow hours later he wns deod. Colonel Astor Saved Wife. . "The conduct of Col. John Jacob Astor was deserving of the highest praise,'' Colonel Grade declared. "The millionaire New Yorker devoted all his energies to saving his young bride, nee Miss Force of New York, who was in delicate health. "Colonel Astor helped us In our efforts to get her Into the boat," said Colonel Grade. "I lifted her into the boat and us she took her place Colonel Astor requested permission of tlie second officer to go with her for her own protection. " 'No, sir,' replied tlie officer, 'not a man shall go on a boat until the women are all off.' Colonel Astor then inquired the number of the boat, which was being lowered away, and turned to the work of clearing the other boats and in reassuring tho, frightened, nervous women. "By this time the ship began to list frightfully to port. This became so dangerous that the second officer ordered everyone to rush to starboard. This we did, and we found the crew trying to get a boat off in that quarter. Here we saw the last of John B, Thayer and George B. Widener, both of Philadelphia." No Slackening of Speed. Colonel Grade said that despite the warnings of icebergs no slackening of speed was ordered by the commando* There were other warnings, too," hu aid. "In the 24 hours' run ending the 14th tlie ship's run was 546 miles, and we were told that the next 24 hours would see even a better reeord posted." ETHEL FORTUNE SAFE (Western Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, April 18—How tho White Star liner Titanic, the largest ship afloat, sank off tbe Grand Ranks of Newfoundland on Monday morning last carrying to their death 1601 of tho 2,340 persons aboard, was told to the world in nil its awful details for tho first time tonight with the arrival in New York of the Carputhla beuring the exhausted survivors of tho catastrophe. Of the great facts that stand out from the chaotio accounts of the tragedy, these ure tbe most snlient: The death list has been Increased rather than decreased. Six persons died after being rescued. Tho list of prominent persons lost stands as previously reported. Practically every woman und child was rescued ,witb the exception of those Who refused to leave their husbands. Among these was Mrs. Isador Straus. The survivors in the lifeboats saw the lights on the stricken vessel glimmer to the last, heard her bund playing and saw tiie doomed hundreds on her deck and heard their groans and cries when the vessel sank. Accounts vary as to the extent ot tho disorder on board. Every Ounce of Steam Not only wag the Titanic tearing through the April night to her doom with every ounce of steam crowded on, but she wns under orders from tho generul offices of tlie line to make all speed of which she was capable. This was the statement made tonight by J. H. Moody ,a quartermaster of tho vessel, and helmsman on the night of the disaster. He said the ship was making :.'l knots an hour and the officers were striving to live up to tho orders to smash u record. "It was close to midnight," said Moody, "nnd I wus on the bridge wilh tbe second officer who was in com ■ tmund. Suddenly he shouted 'Port your helm.' I did so but it wns too late. AVe struck the submerged portion of tho berg.'.' No Pan:c Of the many accounts given by tlio passengers, most of them agreed that the shock when the Titanic -struck tho iceberg although ripping iter great sides like a. giant can opener, did not greatly jar the entire vessel for tho low was a glancing one along her sides. The accounts ulso agree substantially that when the passengers were taken off in the lifeboats there was no serious panic and that many Wished to remain on board the Titanic believing her to be unsinkuble. Leap From Decks Tho most distressing stories aro those giving the experience of tho passengers in lifeboats. These tell not only of their own sufferings but give the harrowing details of how they saw the great hulk of Ihe Titanic stand on end, stern uppermost for mnny minutes before plunging to the bottom of the sen.

TORONTO, April 18.—There will be no strike of the Grand Trunk railway freight handlers in this city as feared, the company today granting the men's demand In part. - (Continued from page one.) into tho boat, and a baby of 10 months puBsed down after them. Down wo went, the crew calling to those lowering each end, to keep her level, 'Aft, Btern, both together,' until we were some 10 feet from the witter, and here occurred the only anxious moment we had during all of the experience, from leaving the deck to reaching the Carpathia. Immediately below our boat was the exhaust of the condensers, huge stream of water pouring all the time from the ship's side just above the water line. It was plain we ought to be smart away from lids not to be swamped by it when wc touched water. So one of the stokers shouted; 'Some one find the pin which releases the boat from the ropes and pull it up!' No one knew where it was. We felt well as wo could on the floor and sides but found nothing, and It was hard to move among so many people —we had CO or 70 on board. "Down we went und presently floated, with our ropes still holding us, the exhaust washing us away from the side of the vessel and the BWdl of tho sea urging us back against tiie side again. The result of all these forces was a force that curried us parallel with the ship, and directly under bout 14, which had filled rapidly with men and was coming down on us In a way thut threatened to submerge our bout. Anxious Moment " 'Stop lowering No. 14,' the crew shouted nnd the -crew of 14. now only 20 feet above, shouted the same. But the distance to the top was somo 70 feet nnd the creaking pulleys must have deadened the sound for she came 15 feet, 10 feet, five feet, and a stoker and I reached up and touched her swinging above our heads. The next drop would have brought her on our heads, but just before she dropped another.stoker sprang to the ropes wllh his knife. 'One,' I heard him say, 'two,' and his knife cut through the pulley ropes and the next moment the exhaust stream had carried us clear, whllo No. 14 dropped into the water, into the spnee we had-the moment before occupied, our gunwales almost touching. Stoker Made Captain "We drifted away easily as the oars were got out and bended directly away from the ship. The crew seemed to me to be mostly cooks fn white jackets, two to an oar. with a stoker at the tiller. There was a certain amount of sluiuling from one end of the boat to the other, and discussion ns to which way we should go but finally It was decided to elect the stoker who was steering captain, nnd for all obey bis orders. He went to work at once to get in touch with the other bouts, calling to them and getting close ns seemed wise; so that when the sonreh boats came In the morn tn£ to look for us there would be more cUanfce.for, aU, to bq.^rege.iKd J>y kc((j). Ing together. Starlit Night "It wus now about 1 a.m.. a beautiful starlit night with no moon and so not Very light. The sea wns as calm as a pond, just a gentle heave as the boat dipped up and down in the swell an ideal night except for the bitter cold, for anyone who had to be out in the middle of tlio Atlantic ocean in an open boat and If ever there was a time when such a night: wns needed, surely it was now with hundreds of people, mostly women and children, afloat hundreds of miles from land. Striking Spectacle "The captain stoker told us that he had been at sou 26 yenrs and had never seen such a calm night on the Atlantic. As we rowed away from the Titanic we looked back from lime to time to watch her and a more striking spectacle It was not possible for anyone to see. Only the evening before at dinner. I remarked to my neighbor that when We arrived at New York I should take nn opportunity to get a look at her from a distance to realize something of her dimensions. We did not think our desire was so The Toasties Lunch If you want a'clear.head—and to feel "fit as a lord" for the afternoon's work, cut out rich foods and join the big army of those who make Post Toasties the principal dish for their lunch. These golden-brown, crisped bits of -corn are delicious, satisfying.and full of wholesome nourishment. Most good eating places serve Post Toasties. . . "The Memory Lingers" Made by Canadian Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Pure Food Factories, Windsor, Ontario, Canada, soon to;bo gratified. In the distance she looked, an- enormous length, her gresit bulk outlined In black against a starry sky, and portholes and saloon blazing witli light. It was impossible to think that anything could be wrong with such a leviathan were It not. for the ominous, tilt downwards In the bows whero the water was by now up to the lowest row of portholes. We wero now about two miles from her and all the!''crew insisted that such a trlemendbils wave would be formed by suction as sho went down thnt we ought 'to get as far away as possible. The captain agreed and all lay on their oars and widened the distance between us and the sinking vessel. Last of Titanic Presently, about 2 a.m. as near as I can remember, we observed her settling very rapidly with tbe bows und the bridge completely under water and concluded'It was only a question of minutes before she went down, and so It proved. She slowly tilted straight on end with the stern vertically upwards and as she did, the lights in the cabins and saloons which hnd not flickered for a moment since we left, died out, came on again for a single flash, ond finally went out altogether. At the same lime the machinery roared down through the vessel with a rattle and groaning lhat could be heard for miles, the weirdest sound surely that could be heard in the middle, of the ocean. 1,000 miles away from land. But there was not yet quite tho end. To our amazement, she remained In that upright position for a timo which I estimate as five minutes whllo we watched at least 150 feet of tho Titanic towering up ahove the level of tho sea and looming black against the sky. ..Appalling cries "Then, with a quiet slanting dive, she disappeared beneath the waters and odr eyes looked for the last time on the gigantic liner we had set out on from Southampton last Wednesday. And there wns left to us the gentle heaving sea, tbe bout filled to standing room with men nnd women In every conceivable condition of dress nnd undress, above the perfect sky of brilliant stars with riot a cloud In tbo sky, nil tempered with u bitter cold that made us nil long to be one of the crew who tolled away with the oars and kept themselves warm thereby— a curious deadening bitter cold unlike anything we had felt before. And then, with all these, thero fell on the ear the most appalling noise thnt bu man befhgs ever listened to—the cries of hundreds of our fellow beings struggling In the Icy cold water, and crying for help that wo knew could not be nttswered. We longed to return and pick up some of those swim mlng but this would have meant the swamping of our boatt nnd further loss of life, RoWed From Scene "We tried to sing to keep tho women from hearing the cries and row ed hard to got away from the seen of the wreck, but I think the memory of those sounds will he ono of the things tlie rescued will find it hard to efface from memory. 'We are all frying bbi(d"ndt to thlhk'bf'if. ' " Wo kept a lookout for lights and several times it was shouted that a steamer's lights wero seen but they they turned out to bo either a light from another boat or a star low down on the horizon. About 3 n.m. wc i faint lights showing on the sky and all rejoiced to soc what wc expected was the coming" dawn, but after watching for half nn hour and seeing no change in the intensity of the light, realized it wns the northern lights. Light of Steamer "Presently, low down on tho horizon wo saw a light which, slowly resolved Itself into u double light nnd watched eagerly to see If the i lights would separate and so prove to he only two of our boats or whethe they would remain together, In which case we should expect them to be the masthead light nnd a dccklight below of a rescuing steamer. Sing and Cheer "To our joy, they moved as one nnd round we swung the boat und headed for her. The steersman shouted 'Now boys, sing,' and for the first time the boat broke into song with 'Row for the Shore, Boys,' and.for the first time tears came to the eyes of all, ns we realized that safety was at hand. The song was sung but It was a very poor imitation of tiie real thing, for quavering voices make poor songs. A cheer was given next and that was better— you needn't keep in timo for a cheer. Our rescuer showed up rapidly and as sho swung round we saw her cabins all alight and knew she must be a large steamer. She was now motionless and we had to row to her. Just then day broke, a beautiful quiet dawn with faint pink clouds just nbove the horizon, and a new moon whose crescent just touched tho horizon. Boat Thirteen Lucky Turn your money over, boys,' said our cheery steersman, 'that Is If you havo any/ he added. We laughed at him for his superstition at such a time but be countered very neatly by adding 'Well, I shall never say again thut IS Is an unlucky number, boat 13 hns been tho best friend wo ever had.' Certainly the 13 superstition Is killed forever in tho minds of those who escaped from tho Titanic in boat No. 13. Sea Full of Icebergs 'As wo nearcd tho Carpathia wc saw in the dawning light what we thought was a full rigged schooner standing up near her and presently behind her another, all sails set and wa said 'They nre fisher boats from the Newfoundland Banks and have seen the steamer lying to nnd are standing by to help,' but in another flvo minutes tlie light showed pink on them and we saw they wore icebergs towering many feet in the air, huge glistening masses, deadly white, still and peaked in a way that had enslly suggested a schooner. Wo glanced round tbo horizon and there wero others wherever the eye could reach. The steamer we had to reach was surrounded by them and wo had to make a detour lo reach her, for between her and us lay another huge berg and we rowed up to the Carpathia about 4:30 u.m. and were hoiBted or climbed up the ships sides with very grateful hearts.
