m( than this number were picked

Of the 745 who reached New York

four officers were saved.
It was the submerged ledge of an
Iceberg of ordinary proportions that

ccs interrupted by sobs and ejacula
tions told of brief moments of their
experience that had to be pieced to
gether to make a coherent narrative.
It was a narrative to thrill the soul
with horror. Darkneiu, a sea of Ice,
'the huge hulk pf the Titanic dotted,
wiiti myriadH of lights sowly sinking
beneath the waves, the cries of men
shrieking for help, of women scream
ing In panic growing loader and loud
er with every moment, hundreds of
tnen struggling in the water amid the
cakes of ice, striving plteouely to
climb upen the overladen lifeboats,
bogging to he saved, women crying to
their husbands to Jump from the
decks, ship's officers threatening to
shoot the first man who attempted to
enter a life boat no picture Inferno
ever presented such phantasmagoria.
Titanic Was Running at Full Speed.
The ocean was calm ns a mill-pond
when the Titanic crushed into the ice
berg. It was a quarter of an hour be
fore midnight. Moht of the passengers
were In their cabins.
Then came the shock of collision
not so violent a crash as had been de
picted, for there were many who were
not even awakened by It -but enough
fo disquiet all who felt It. There was
a general and orderly exodus to the
decks.
Sailorp were scurrying hither and
thither crying:
"NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OFJ
THERE'S NO DANGER!"
Some of the passengers even return
ed to their rooms and prepared to re
tire. Hut gradually the cessation of
the engines' vlbrrtlon caused uneasi
ness and the groups on the decks grew
greater and greater. Still the sailors
announced that there was nothing to
be feared.
Then, with perceptible suddenness,
tlic r''p began to list.
"All passengers on deck with life
belts," was shouted. Tikm l.ir the first
time the gravity of the situation dawn
ed upon the passengers.
The sailors, working silently and
without excitement, yet fust us their
hands could move, removed the tar
paulins from the lifeboats and terse
ly, wrthout excitement came the or
der, repeated upon every side:
"Women mid children in the life
bo;'.ts!" The sailors helped the nearest wo
men and children into the boats. And
il was the beginning of excitement
other sailors began to lower the
bo"t8.
THE TiTANIC'S
BOILERS BLEW DP
to
745 SURYIYORS ON BOARD
Men Laughed as Boats Filled.
Thus far the men, standing idly by,
falling entirely to grasp the Bignifl
cuuse of the moment, had helped the
Bailors. , Many of the pussengerB re
port that the men were laughing.
"We'll be safer here on the ship
than In that cockle-Bhell!" one man
cried to his wife as she was helped
over the rail.
Hut the Titanic settled deeper In the
ocean and It was difficult for the men
to remain on their feet. Then It was
that the appulling nature of It dawned
upon thpse men. And then, also It
was, that the ollicers of the ship drew
their revolvers.
"Stand back!" they cfted. "Only
women and children go into the' boats."
Some of the men leaned against the
rail and looked down Over the tower
ing sides of the ship. Others slowly
paced the deck as' if they were wait
Ing.
Three Steerage Men Shot.
The shif sunk "lower and low.er,
Thfee revolver shot 8 were heard.
Three passengers .In the Bteerage had
attempted to force their way piiBt the
sailors and had been ruthlessly shot
down.
Ry this time the passengers on the
deck who remained In possession of
their faculties observed the huge
masses of Jce which the Titanic had

rent from the berg with which it had
collided. Of the scene in the bow.
where over a hundred and fifty feet of
the ship'p length had been crushed in,
there were no witnesses until an hour
afterward, when the lifeboats were all
in the water.
Heroism Asserts Itself.
The ship had now listed to a terrible
angle. Men, in the throes of panic,
attempted to reach the boats and were
pushed back. And In that moment
the heroism of hundreds asserted it
self. It was the passengers who push
ed back these panic-stricken few and
not the sailors. Of the Individual
deeds of heroism only a few have as
yet been told. But those few are the
fore runners of thousands.
Soon most of the boats had been
lowered and still a full realizing senso
of the extent of the disaster had not
dawned upon all that mass of men.
But, Anally, all the boats had been
lowered. Then, the sailors, seeiilg wo
men standing and running about,
cried:
"All women to the lower deck!"
There began a rush to the lower
deck, and there it was that the nearest
semblance to a panic began. Some of
the women were seized by sailors nnd
deliberately thrown over the rail Into
the boats.
The weaker pien, by scores, began
to jump overboard. The lifeboats be
gan to draw away from the ship.
As they drew away thoBe who were
floating among the cukes of Ice in the
sea cried aloud piteously for help.
Those who could seized the sides of
tho lifeboats. In many cases they
were pulled aboard.
One Lifeboat Capsizes.
In many cases the Bailors who man
ned the boats rowed deliberately on,
heedless of all supplications, 'or their
boutB were full. One boat was observ
ed to overturn. What capsized It is
not yet known probably a number of
men In the sea struggling to board
her.
Several more pistol shots 'ei'o
heard on board the ship." And then,
suddenly, above the murmur of tho
sea and the crunching of the ice floes
there rose a steadily increasing cry
from the doomed ship a cry In which
hundreds upon hundreds of voices
mingled.
And the women in the lifeboats were
screaming, each to her husband or her
brother:
"Jump! We'll pick you up!" wag
heard on every side.

Republ
TIONESTA, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1912.
The lights of the Titanic were still
shining, but she was sinking steadily
by the bow. The screams of men and
women began to increase In volume.
From the lifeboats the huge Titanic
loomed a huge mass of blackness, dot
ted with countless tiny lights. None
of these Illuminations were sufficient
to reveal either face or Incident. But
these lights were steadily sinking be
neath the surface of the water.
Among the innumerable deeds of
heroism of that hour there was one
attested by many witnesses. The sail
ors attempted to pull Mrs. Isador
Straus from her husband's side, but
she clung to his arm, smiling. Sh
had decided to remain with him She
sank with him.
Women Row Lifeboat.
In the hurry of embarking, one of
the lifeboats had been lowered without
a single sailor in it. Three men had
been picked up by this boat, but the
women were rowing. And the women
between the thwarts were screaming
to their loved ones in agony.
Then, suddenly, above all the wail
Ing of that desolate scene there arose
the strains of the ship's orchestra
playing "Nearer, My God, to Thee!
And for the. first time those in the
lifeboats realized that those who were
left behind knew that they were doom
ed. A few voices rose in accompani
ment to the melody. The chorus swell
ed louder and louder. The lights sunk
lower and lower.
The lifeboats were pulling from the
fcene as fast as they could. But while
they were still within sight of the ship
the lights began to go out with start
ling swiftness.
The screams and shouts of those on
board still resounded through the air.
The last light went out and the
music ceased.
The peerless Titanic had sunk be
neath the waves.
HYSTERICAL SCENES WHEN
FRIENDS MEET SURVIVORS
Men Fall to Kiss the Knee:: of Worn
en Folk Women Shriek and Rush
from Group to Group and Then
Collapse.
Slowly the Carpathia, ambulance
ship of the ocean, made her way up
the bay in the gloom of the evening,
through lanes of silent vessels, and
warped Into her dock at Pier 64,
North River.
From her descended the saved of
the Titanic, all that remained of 2,
3b2 souls, a seml-hysterlcal band
numbering 745.
All the figures that bad drifted in
through the air were wrong, and
when the truth came it was merely to
increase the terrible roll to 1595.
The scenes that were enacted on
the Cunard Pier, and outside as the
survivors were being hurried away to
homes and hotels, will live a lifetime
in the memory of those who wit
nessed them.
Men in hysterics, women fainting,
and children almost crushed In the
arms of those welcoming them, were
the rule, not the exception. Men fell
down to kiss the knees of their re
turning womenfolk. Women shriek
ed, wept, dashed in madness from one
group of friends to another, and final
ly collapsed In the arms of those who
had come to meet them.
The Scenes Repeated.
Outside, as they were led or carried
tq waiting automobiles, the same
scenes were repeated. The sight ol
street seemed to fill Bome of the re
turned oneB with awe, to others it wis
k cause for emotional Joy that could
only find relief in extravagant ecstasy.
The precautions taken for the pro
tection of the survivors proved en
tirely adequate, and, fortunately, all
the ambulances and relief corps that
had been gathered at the pier were
not necessary.
The number of badly injured on
the Carpathia was not nearly as large
as had been imagined, and cases re
quiring hospital relief were merciful
ly few.
But the strain on those who landed,
Btrain that has existed now since
midnight last Sunday, was plainly to
be seen In their faces, in their ac
tions, in their attitudes and words.
Some could barely speak above a
whisper, others could not keep from
shouting Some could scarcely find
strength to walk down the gangplanks.
others rushed on to the pier as
though possessed of the energy of
ipapiacs,
It w8 a joyous occasion for many
a terrible day for some. To the last
there had been hope In many breasts
that their loved ones would be
aboard and at the last those hopes
were blasted with the Icy breath of
the news the living brought.
How the Titanic sank, what hap
pened when she sank, was told in as
many different ways as there were
people to tell It. But they agreed on
one thing that Capt. Smith and his
officers showed the greatest bravery
throughout the terrible ordeal, and
that, except in isolated cases the men
aboard, from the saloon to the steer
age, showed a heroism worthy of the
sea.
When the Ship Went Down.
Men were playing cards In the
smoking room when the great ship
struck the Iceberg whose propinquity
was well known to all aboard, for a
bulletin of it had been posted in tho
saloon, and when the ship went down,
most accounts agree, the band was
playing "Nearer, My God, to Thee,"
while the lifeboats were pulling away,
But it was difficult to get a connect
ed story from any survivor.
Mrs. John Jacob Astor, outwardly
none the worse for her awful experi
ence, was among the first to be whisk.
ed away to hef home. Her stepson.
Vinen t Astor, and Craig Biddle had
1
come to meet her and the greeting be
tween them was affecting. She went
direct to the home of her father, Wil
liam H. Force, but stayed there only
a few moments
Mr. Biddle, speaking afterward of
Mrs. Astor's experiences, said that
her mental suffering had been terri
ble, though physically she was not
much harmed. Physicians gave or
ders that neither she nor her maid
should be permitted to talk about the
Titanic, and this rule was strictly ob
served. Nevertheless, before the or
der had been given, she had told Vin
cent Astor some of her memories. She
thought she recalled seeing Col. Astor
by her Bide Just before she got into
one of the boats. She imagined he
was safe too, and it was only when
she was on the Carpathia that she
realized that he was not among the
rescued.
Like most of the other survivors,
Mrs. Astor waB too stunned at first
to recall any of the incidents of the
sinking ship. She had hoped some
other vessel would pick Col. Astor up,
and when she realized at last that
all hope of this was gone she was
much distressed.
Other passengers said that Mrs. As
tor displayed remarkable courage dur
ing the days on the Carpathia, walk
ing about the decks and trying to
cheer up other survivors whose sor
row Beemed beyond relief.
THRILLING ACCOUNTS OF
HEROISM AND SACRIFICE
BY TITANIC SURVIVORS.
Tales of horror were told by the
survivors of the Titanic wreck when
they landed from the steamship Car
pathia.
Men and women related in detail
how the big ship had crushed against
the iceberg, but how the jar was so
slight that no one was excited until
the ship's officers and crew began low
ering the lifeboats and rafts and or
derlng passengers Into them.
The Titanic's boilers exploded when
water rushed in upon them, and It was
the opinion of some of the survivors
that many who had been left on the
sinking Titanic were killed by the ex
plosions and not drowned.
Most graphic was the story told by
Mrs. Paul Schabert, of Derby, Conn
After telling of how Mr. and Mrs. Isa
dor Straus perished together, because
Mrs. Straus would not leave her hus
band, Mrs. Schabert said
"It was a terrible experience, but
worth going through. I was awaken
ed by the shock of the collision, and
went on deck. There was no great ex
citement, and persons were coming
out of their rooms and asking what
had happened.
Wouldn't Leave Brother.
"Suddenly from the bridge or from
some of the officers came the cry.
'Ladies first.' This was the first lnK
ling that we had that the ship was in
danger. We went back to the state'
rooms and dressed. Then came the
horrifying order that women must
leave their husbands and brothers and
that no man was to go in the lifeboats.
"I refused to leave my brother, and
remained on deck until the next to the
last boat was leaving. They looked
around and saw that I was the only
woman. I told them that I would not
go without my brother and then they
took him also. Thus I saved my brO'
ther.
We left the ship about twenty-five
minutes before it Bank. She sank at
about 1:50 o'clock Monday morning.
At C n'3lock the same morning the
Carprthir. put In an appearance and
wj we-e picked up. We were proba
bly one mile away from the ship when
she went down, and the steward that
had given me the firBt warning that
the ship might sink went down with
all the others.
Lights Burning, Band Playing.
"As we left the ship It was the most
remarkable and brilliant sight I had
ever witnessed on the water. All the
lights were burning and the band was
playing as If at a concert."
Mrs. Schabert was asked In regard
to a rumor that Major Butt, military
aide to President Taft, hud shot eight
men to keep them from upsetting life
boats by crowding into them.
Mrs. Schabert answered that she
was unable to either confirm or deny
this. She said she had seen no such
thing, but that the confusion was such
she might not have seen It, even If it
had happened.
Col. Astor Died a Brave Man.
Dramitlc stories of the death of
Colonel Astor were told on the pier by
survivors.
"Mrs. Astor was sent away in the
tenth boat," said John Kuhle, of Ne
braska. "Just as she was about to be
placed within the boat. Colonel Astor
embraced her.
Helped to Force Wife Into Boat.
"Astor then freed himself from his
wife's embrace and, after helping to
force her into the boat, tunica away
and stood upon the deck."
Colonel Archibald Graple, U. S. A.,
declared Colonel Astor's conduct was
deserving of the highest praise Col
onel Astor, said Gritcie, devoted all
his energies to saving his young bride,
who was in delicate health.
"Colonel Astor helped us In our ef
forts to get her In the boat," said
Colonel Oracle. "I lifted her into the
boat. Colonel Astor then Inquired the
number of the boat which was being
lowered and turned to the work of
clearing the other boats and in reas
suring the frightened and nervous
women."
Col. Astor Joined Mr. and Mrt, Straus.
"John Jacob Astor escorted his wife
to one of the lifeboats, kissed her
quietly and then went up to deck U
and joined Mr uud Mrs. Isador
Straus, saiu uoueri w. uantet, oi

of them, but not close enough to (lis-
tinguiah anything they said to each
other. When the water reached deck
II, I Jumped Into the sea. Neither
Colonel Astor nor Mr. and Mrs. St-.'uus
made any effort to save themselves.
They seemed to realize that H was
hopeless. I am convinced thi't Col
onel Astor could have saved himself
had he jumped Into the water.
"None of us were worried after tho
crash. Many of the passengers, my
self included, went to bed. I did not
rise from my bed until I h.arl the
sound of pistol shots. Then I pulled
on a bathrobe and went out on deck.
Some of the officers nearest me were
shooting Into the air for the purpose,
I suppose, of awakening all the pas
sengers who had retired. I did not
once catch sight of the teeters which
had ripped our portside from stern to
stern."
"Astor was courageous," said Mi.
and Mrs Dodge, of Philadelphia, be
fore leaving for home. "He assisted
Captain Smith and Major Archibald
Butt in allaying the panic and in as
sis'iing the women and children into
the boats. Major Butt was calm and
collected throughout everything."
In Bed When the Crash Came.
Mrs. Dickinson Bishop of Detroit,
Mich., in an Interview Bald:
"I was the first woman in the first
boat. I was in the boat four hours be
fore being picked up by the Carpathia.
I was in bed at the time the crash
came, got up and dressed and went
back to bed, being assured that there
was no danger. There were very few
passengers on deck when I reached
there, after I decided that it would be
better to investigate the matter of the
crash more fully.
"There was little or no panic. The
behavior of the crew of the Titanic
was perfect. My husband was also
saved, thank God!"
Mrt. Astor in Lifeboat Four Hours.
Mrs. John Jacob Astor was in a life
boat for four and a half hours before
Bhe was picked up by the Carpathia,
according to E. I. Talyor, who was sav
ed in the Bame boat. He would not,
however, tell of how she stood "the
awful ordeal.
Like all the others, he spoke of the
lack of comprehension among the pas
sengers, after the accident, that there
was the least danger. The iceberg
which wrecked the Titanic he estimat
ed at eighty feet high, and he describ
ed the impact as a sort of grinding,
glancing blow, which tore away the
ship's bottom.
Ismay Got Into First Lifeboat, Wom
an and Stoker Insist.
William Jones, a stoker on the Ti
tanic, who was one of the crew of
three that manned lifeboat No. 6, gave
a story or tne wreck from the mo-
ment that the Titanic struck the ice
berg. He Insisted Ismuy went into
the first lifeboat.
"I am certain I Baw Ismay leave by
the first boat that went over the side,"
Jones said. "We all knew at the time
that she was a goner. The first boat
off was in charge of the second officer
and Ismay went with him. Of the 300
members of the crew that were in the
FIRST RESULT
quarters forward but forty-seven that
I know of managed to get awuy. They
were crushed when she struck. The
same death came to tho first cabin
passengers that were quartered for
ward." Mrs. Julian Smith of West Vir
ginia, who lost her husband, was bit
ter in her denunciation of Ismuy.
"I saw Ismay leave in the first
boat," she said, "and I thought then
it was done probably because he was
111. Hut I learned afterward that he
was in perfect health and had been
banqueting with the (aptaln when
the crash came. When we were tak
en off on the Carpathia he was put in
the best stateroom, in infinitely more
comfort than the twenty-six widows

Dr. Frauenthal's Narrative.
Dr. Henry J. Frauenthal, the well
known New York physician, one of
the survivors of the Titanic, gave the
following account of the catastrophe:
"The boat struck the iceberg at 11.40
p. m. I was in bed and asleep and
did not hear the crash My room was
on the other side of the boat from
the iceberg Bide. I did not know any
thing until my brother, who was read
ing, came and aroused me.
"We rushed to the deck, I dressed as
I was for bed. As I came on deck I
saw the Captain and heard him Idl
ing Colonel Astor that the boat had
been Injured by an Iceberg. The deck
was already well crowded and the
j passengers were rushing to the deck.
"I saw that the crew was lowering
a boat, and understand that it was the
second boat that was lowered. The
crew rushed in the boat a lot of wom
en who were nearby. My brother got
In the boat to protect the women. My
wife threatened to jump out of the
boat if I did not Join her there, so then
I got in the boat, too.
"We rowed away In tho lifeboat, I
should think, for about a mile. It was
black night. There was no light on th?
Titanic, as the light there had gone
out, I am told, five minutes before Bhe
sank.
"I could not, of course, see the ship
go down at the distance' we were, but
I heard the cries and screams of those
who were on the ship, and, perhaps,
too, of those who were in the water
trying to save themselves by clinging
to lifepreservers. We heard these
cries for fully two hours, while we
were riding the waves a mile away.
Then the cries died down and finally
all was still, except the noise of the
ours in our boat and the swish of the
waters.
"So far as I know, nono of the pas
sengers saved anything."
Felt as If They Were Invading a
Graveyard.
"The wireless operator aboard the
Carpathia received tho first news of
the Titanic's collision before midnight
last Sunday," said John Scanned, a
passenger on tho Carpathia. "We
were ninety miles from the White
Star vessel nnd we headed for her at
once. I did not take note of the num
ber of hours we occupied in reaching
the scene of the wreck, but, of course,
by the time we got there the Titanic
and most of her passengers and crew
were many fathoms deep iu the Atlan
tic. When the Carpathia's passengers
learned they were close to the spot
wnere tne great snip Had sunk we
felt as If we were Invading a grave-
i yard.
"We did not come across all the Ti
tanic's surviving lifeboats in a single
flotilla." the Westerner continued.
"Our first glimpse of the survivors
was of those who occupied a group of
: seven boats. The seven craft wern
j strung far enough apart for safety, yet
it was plain they had clung together
j throughout the hours of waiting, and
it was said the fact was due to the ex-
OF THE COLLISION
colleiit work of a petty otllcer in
charge of one of the boats, who prac
tically took command of all seven.
"Next we sighted five bouts In a
group. It was terrible to see the
agony In the faces of the women. .Most
of them were newly made widows.
They had seen the Titanic plunge to
tho bottom with their husbands
aboard and they knew there wus the
smallest chance of their loved ones'
escape. We picked up the remaining
survivors iu small groups, then cruis
ed about until our skipper was con
vinced no more remained afloat. Then
we left the California to make a furth
er search for the few who might be
alive in the waste of waters, and put
about for New York."
