HEARD TWO LOOKOUTS TALK
“No Wonder First Officer 8hot Him-

Was Paid Crew Of
Lifeboat.
New York.—Three warnings that an |
iceberg was ahead were transmitted
from the crow’s nest of the Titanic to
the officer on the steamship’'s bridge
15 minutes before she struck, accord-
ing to Thomas Whiteley, a first-saloon
steward, who is in St. Vincent's Hos-
pital with frozen and lacerated feet.
Whiteley reached the Carpathia |
aboard one of the boats that contained,
he said, both the erow’s nest lookouts. |
He heard a conversation between |
them, he asserted, in which they dis- |
cussed the warnings given to the Ti-
tanic’'s bridge of the presence of the
iceberg
Said Officer Was Warned.
“I heard one of them say that at
11.15 o'clock, 15 minutes before the
Titanic struck, he had reported to
First Officer Murdock on the bridge |
that he fancied he saw an iceberg,”
said Whiteley. “Twice after that the |
lookout said he warned Mr. Murdock |
MRS. JOHN JACOB ASTOR.
that a berg was ahead. I can’t re-
member their exact words, but they |
were very indignant that no attention
was paid to their warnings. One of
them said: ‘No wonder Mr. Murdock
shot himself.”
“I saw the iceberg. It was very
large and to me it looked black, or |
rather a dark gray, instead of white.”
Called It “Money Boat.”
Whiteley in telling of various ex-
periences of the disaster that had
come to his knowledge said that on
one of the first boats lowered the
only passengers aboard were a man
whom he was told was an American
millionaire, his wife, child and two
valets. The others in the boat were
firemen and coal trimmers, he said,
seven in number, whom the man had
promised to pay well if they would
man the lifeboat. They made only 13
in all.
Was Thrown Into Sea.
Whiteley was thrown into the sea.
“I floated on my life preserver for sev-
eral hours,” he said, “then I came
across a big oak wardrobe with two
men clinging to it. I hung on to this
till daybreak and the two men dropped
off. When the sun came up I saw the
collapsible raft in the distance, just
black with men. They were all stand-
ing up. I swam to it, almost a mile
it seemed to me, and they would not
let me aboard.
“‘Tt’s 31 lives against yours,’ they
said, ‘you can’t come aboard. There's
not room.’
“I pleaded in vain and then I con-
| tess I prayed that somebody might
die, so I could take his place. It was
only human. And then some one did
die and they left me aboard.”
“By and by we saw seven lifeboats
| lashed together and we were taken
off in them.”

SURVIVORS FAKE REPORT
Say 2.340 Persons Were Aboard
and 745 Saved.
New York. The following state
ment issued by a committee of the
surviving passengers of the Titanic
was given the press on the arrival of
the Carpathia:
“We, the undersigned surviving pas-
sengers from the steamship Titanic,
in order to forestall any sensational
or exaggerated statements, deem it
our duty to give to the press a state.
ment of facts which have come to our
knowledge and which we believe to
be true.
“On Sunday, April 14, 1912, at about
11.40 P. M, on a cold, star-lit night,
in a smooth sea and with no moon,
the ship struck an iceberg, which had
been reported to the bridge by look-
outs, but not early enough to avoid
collision. Steps were taken to ascer-
tain the damage and save passengers
and ship. Orders were given to put
on life belts and the boats were low-
ered.
“The ship sank at about 2.20 A. M.
Monday and the usual distress signals
were sent out by wireless and rockets
fired at intervals from the ship.
Fortunately the wireless message was
received by the Cunard steamship
Carpathia at about 12 o'clock mid-
night and she arrived on the scene
of the disaster at about 4 A. M. Mon-
day.
“The officers and crew of the steam-
ship Carpathia had been preparing all
night for the rescue and comfort of
the survivors and the last mentioned
were received on board with the most
touching care and kindness, every at-
i tention being given to all, irrespective
of class. The passengers, officers and
| crew gave up, gladly. their staterooms,
clothing and comfcrts for our benefit,
all honor to them
“The English board of trade pas-
sengers’ certificate on board the Ti-
tanic allowed for a total of approx-
| imately 3,500. The same certificate
called for lifeboat accommodation for
approximately 950 in the following
boats:
“Fourteen large lifeboats, two small-
er boats and four collapsible boats.
Life preservers were accessible and
apparently in sufficient nu nber for all
on board
“The approxima number of pas-
sengers carried at the time of collision
was
{ “First-class, 330 second-class, 320:
third-class, 750; total, 1,400. Officers
and crew, 940 [ 1, 2.340
“Of the fore about the follow-
ing were rescued by the steamship
Carpathia:
| “First-class, 210; second-class, 125:
| third-class, 200; officers, 4; seamen,
39; stewards; 96; firemen, 71; total,
210 of the crew The total—1775
saved—was about 80 per cent. of the
maximum capacity of the life-boats.
“We feel it our duty to call the at-
| tention of the public to what we con-
sider the inadequate supply of life-
saving appliances provided for on
modern passenger steamships, and
recommend that immediate steps be
taken to compel passenger steamers
( to carry sufficient boats to accommo-
date the maximum number of people
carried on board. The following facts
were observed and should be consider-
ed in this connection:
“The insufficiency of lifeboats, rafts,
etc.; lack of trained seamen to man
same (stokers, stewards, etc., are not
| efficient boat handlers): not enough
officers to carry out emergency orders
on the bridge and superintend the
launching and control of lifeboats;
absence of searchlights.
“The London Board of Trade rules
allow for entirely too many people in
each boat to permit the same to be
properly handled. On the Titanic the
boat deck was about 75 feet above
water and consequently the passen-
gers were required to embark before |
lowering the boats, thus endangering
the operation and preventing the tak-
ing on of the maximum number the
boats would hold. Boats at all times
should be properly equipped with pro-
visions, water, lamps, compasses,
lights, etc. Life-saving boat drills
should be more frequent and thor-
oughly carried out and officers should
be armed at boat drills.
The statement was signed by Sam-
uel Goldenberg, chairman, and a com-
mittee of some 25 passengers.
AS TOLD BY OTHERS.
Graphic Deserintions Of Scenes Fol.
lowing the Crash.
Statement of Robert W. Daniel, of
Philadelphia:
“I had just left the music-room and
digrobed and was in my bunk, when
there was a terrific crash. The boat
quivered and the lights went out. In
the darkness I rushed on deck almost
naked. There seemed to be thousands
fighting and shouting in the darkness,
and then they got the storage bat-
teries going and this gave us a little
light. Captain Smith was the biggest
hero I ever saw. He stood on the
bridge and shouted through a megea-
phone trying to make himself heard
The crew obeyed his orders as quickly
as could be expected. Five minutes
after the crash everybedy seemed to
have gone insane. Men and women
fought, bit and scratched to be in line
for the lifeboats. I got a black eye
and a cut chin in the fight. Then Cap-
tain Smith seemed to get some order
and the passengers were sent to fore
and aft on the big boat.”
“There was a frightful pounding
noise throughout. I saw men praying,
also struggling to get to the rail
Prayers and cries followed. Women
who had been in the music reom, |
where a concert had been in progress,
were still dressed in evening apparel
and wore diamonds. Other women
had just got to their bunks and were
in night attire. All rushed with one
object, to get to the boats. Captain
Smith remained on the bridge trying
to make himself heard. He was still |
shouting when I last saw him. As the
passengers got into the life boats |
women were thrown in and they did
not move, and an officer jumped in te
command. The boats were swung
from their davits and let down inte the
* water, Hundreds, it seems, did not
wait for the boats They aw there
was no chance and they jumped over:
ard,"
None Dreamed Of Danger.
Dr. Henry W. Frauenthal, 783 Lex
ington avenue, New York, also de
clared all of the women on board the
Titanie were thought to have been
safely in the boats before the order of
the men to take them came
"When the ship first struck,” he
sald, “none of us dreamed of the dan
ger we faced. All who had been asleep
after the first rush into the cabinways
and to the decks returned to their
cabins, to dress.
“But when the word came that we
were sinking and the lifeboats were
ordered over the side the panic was
fearful. From all sides came shrieks
and groans and cries, and it seemed
as if all the devils of hell had been let
loose
“Just now I am so thankful to be
alive that my appreciation of the
horror is dulled. I am only afraid
that when 1 recover from the first
shock it will come back to me again,
and I would rather have gone down
with the boat.”
Another of the survivors who would
have embraced death more happily
than safety was Mrs. A. O. Horveson,
whose husband, who was connected
with the Peabody Company, went
down with the Titanic. With her hus-
band, Mrs. Horveson had been in
Buenos Ayres on a three months’
pleasure and business trip, and, re-
turning by way of England, had
thought it would be great fun to help
the Titanic make her maiden trip.
“We were so happy,” she cried, with
tears streaming down her fac». “We
had thought it such a lark to come
back home on the Titanic. But now
there is nothing, nothing left in this
world. T can’t stand it.” And, broken
completely down, she hid her face in
her hands and could say no more.
Only Baby Left Of Family.
Jane Smith, one of the English
nurses employed by J. W. Allison, of
Ontario, who brought Baby Smith
through the Titanic disaster, came
down the gangplank with the nine-
months-old baby boy wrapped in her
arms. He was all that was left of a
family of father, mother and two chil
dren. The oldest child was a girl
three 3 old
Miss St 1 said: “It was shortly be-
fore midnight when I went into the
room where the baby was sleeping to
see if he was all right I had just got
ten into the room when I felt a slight
rasping shock The machinery sud

Up from the stokehole a blackened,

fed them.
Armed with the tools of their trade,

Tale Of Horror Told.
No tale of the final hour of the
great steamship exceeds in horror that
pieced together by Dr. Lengyl Arpad,
a Hungarian, and steerage physician
of the Carpathia, from the stories he
gleaned as he bent over the bruised,
the scalded and the frostbitten men
and women who had been rescued
from the steerage of the Titanic
His account cleared up many state-
ments of cabin passengers which have
seemed contradictory, told where the
shots that were fired came from and
explained the shrieking which many
had attributed to the doomed and
drowning.
Beyond Control At First.
“Piling up to their deck, shouting
and crying, dragging their bundles, the
steerage men and women were at first
beyond control. Sailors went among
them telling them the ship had struck
the ice, but was not in danger, and
they grew calmer. Just as the boats |
began to come down fron the upper |
deck the steamship listed heavily to
starboard, and the steerage passengers
were piled up against the rail. This
renewed their terror and they fought
to extricate themselves.
“Despair took possession of them, |
because the first and second boats
lowered past them were not stopped |
at that deck and neither was half |
filled. They believed they were being |
deserted.
“When the first boat was stopped at
the steerage deck everyone surged for-

ward to get into it, the men forcing |
themselves to the front and none of |
them, so far as they told me, thinking |
of anything but his own safety and |
his precious bundles One woman
rescued could talk of nothing but the
‘beautiful goose liver and cheese’ they
bad torn from her
“The first boat stopped was filled
with men before the sailors could in-
terfere. They had a battle to drag |
out the men and let the women take |
their places
Stokers Start Panic.
“This great pani: seems to have be-
gun when the stokers rushed up from
below and tried to beat a path through
the steerage men and women and
through the sailors and officers to get
into the boats. They had their iron |
bars and shovels and they struck
down all who stood in their way.
“First to come up from the depths
of the ship was an engine oiler. From |
what he is reported to have said I
think perhaps the steam fittings were |
broken and many were scalded to
death when the Titanic listed. |
“Right at his heels came the stok-
ers. The officers had pistols, but they
could not use them at first, for fear of
killing the women and children. The
sallors fought with their fists, and
many of them took the stoke bars
and shovels from the stokers and used
them to beat back the others, Then
it seems, from what the survivors told
me, the officers thought of firing in
the air.
“Many of the coalpassers and stok- |
ers who had been driven back from |
the boats went to the rail and when-
ever a boat was filled and lowered sev-
eral of them jumped overboard and
swam toward it, trying to climb |
aboard. Several of the patients I had
said that men who swam to the sides
of their boats were pulled in or
climbed in.”
