DOOMED MEN DIE WITHOUT A TREMOR ABOARD BIG LINER (Continued from Page One.)

was smooth. The moon was brilliant in the sky. Into one of the last of the life boats that were launched . two chinamen, employed in the galley, had hidden themselves. They were stretched in the bottom of the boat face downwards and made no sound. So excit ed were the women that they did not notice the presence of the Chinese until the boat had pulled oft from the Titanic. Two Chinamen Shot. The chinamen were then found. The officer in charge drew his revolver and in the presence of the already horror stricken women shot both to death. The bodies were tumbled over board. The weather was very cold and the sea was filled with floating ice. All were warned before getting into the boats to dress as warmly as possible. iBy the time the boats were filled the "water had entered tbe engine rooms and the ship was drifting helplessly with no way on her. About 2 o'clock Captain Smith, who .had been standing upon the bridge with a megaphone to his mouth, again wet to the wireless capin. "Men," he said to Phillips and iBride in a broken voice, "you have done your duty; you can do no more. Ubandon your cabin for it is now every man for himself." Bride's Wonderful Escape. ' Bride left the cabin, but Phillips iclung to his key. He perished. The (saving of Bride, the second wireless jmani was only one of a series of .thrilling escapes. Wearing a life belt, iBride went upon deck. He saw a dozien men passengers tugging at a collapsible boat trying to work it to the sedge of the deck. The wireless man jwent to their assistance and they had Igotten it nearly to the point from .'which they could swing it overboard jwhen a wave rolled over the deck. jBride, who had hold of an oar lock, rwas swept over board with the boat. The next thing he knew he was 'struggling, in the water beneath the Iboat. The icy water struck a chill through him and he realized that unjless he got from beneath the boat he Kvould drown.. Diving deeply he came lup on the outside of the gunwale and .grasped . it. . On every hand was wreckage of all kinds and struggling men who had been washed overboard "by the submerging comber. Bride clung to the craft until he saw another boat nearby. Exerting all his strength he swam to this boat and was pulled into it more dead than alive. Sinking of Titanic. By this time all the boats and life rafts . had been taken from the ship. The boats were ranged about the ship from 160 feet to 1,000 yards distant. Their occupants could see the lights burning upon the vessel which 5Vell Known Rochester Citizen Saved From Serious Trouble.

Suddenly as they looked, great billows of live sparks rose up through the gigantic funnels. These were followed by billowing clouds of smoke and steam. The rush of water had reached the boiler rooms and the boilers had exploded. After this the great vessel 4sank more rapidly and within less than twenty minutes had plunged to her grave, two miles beneath the surface. In the meantime, however, those upon the sinking ship, who knew that they had but a few hours at most to live, lived -up to the most splendid examples of Anglo-Saxon courage. As the ship sank lower those on board climbed higher, prolonging life to the last minute. Vain Hunt For Boats. Frenzied search was made of every part of the decks by those who hoped th&t the sailors had overlooited a life raft or small boat which might be used. Their search was vain. The ship went down head first. Her bows plunged first, her stern rising high in the air. The great propeller and rudder were exposed to view of those in the boats. Col. Astor, Major Butt, C. M. Hays, V. M. Clark and other friends stood together. Astor and Butt were strong swimmers. When the water reached the ship's rail Butt and Astor jumped and began swimming rapidly away. 1 There was little suction despite the bulk of the foundering craft. There was a dreadful cry as the ship disappeared from view. Instantly the water was filled with hundreds of struggling men. The spot just above the grave of the liner was covered with wreckage of every description. Some of the men clung to pieces of debris; others tried to climb upon the ice eakes. But the cold air and the cold water soon numbed the fingers of the men in the water. Even the most powerful of the refugees soon gave out, exhausted by their efforts and numb from exposure they dropped one by one. , . Drowned Like Rats. There are survivors, however, among them Dr. Henry J. Frauenthal of this city, who said that they heard cries from the water for two hours after the Titanic sunk. Amidst the acres and acres of debris, hundreds of dead bodies floated. M?iny of the men among the first cabin passengers were still dressed in the evening clothes which they had worn when the ship struck the berg. The Carpathia came up at dawn. She did not find the little fleet of life boats clustered together for those who had put off first had rowed some distance away from the last boats which went over the Titanic's side. The first group discovered by the Car-I pathia which was steaming slowly eo not to overlook any survivors in the water contained seven life boats. Next , a group of five boats was sighted. The other boats were found singly. LADY GORDON'S STORY. NEW YORK, April 19. Almost frenzied by the memory of the disas ter through which they had passed, t many of the survivors were unable, even today, to discuss connectedly all the details of the Titanic's horror. The best story was given by Lady Duff-Gordon, "who dictated it for the National News Association. Her story shows that the Titanic was near an iceberg before she went to bed on the night of the disaster. Here is her story, as well as that of other survivors : BY LADY DUFF-GORDON. 1 was asleep. The night was perfectly clear. We had watched for some time the fields of ice. There was one just before I went below to retire. I noticed among the fields of ice a number of large bergs. There was one which one of the officers j pointed out to me. He said that it must be 100 feet high and seemed to be miles long. It was away off in the distance. I went to my bedroom

and retired. I was awakened by a long grinding sort of shock. It was not a tremendous crash, but more as though some one had drawn a giant finger along the side of tbe boat. I awakened my husband and told him I thought we had struck something. There was no excitement that I could hear but Sir Cosmo went up on deck. He returned and told me that we had hit some ice, apparently a big berg, but that there seemed to be no danger. We went on deck. No one apparently thought there was any danger. We watched a number of women and children and some men going into the life boats. At last one of the officers came to me and said: "Lady Gordon, you had better go in one of the boats." I said to my husband, "Well, we might as well take the boat, although I think it will be only a little , pleasure excursion until morning." The boat was the twelfth or thirteenth to be launched. It was the captain's special boat. There was still no excitement. Five stokers got in and two Americans, a L. Salomon, whose address is No. 245 Broadway, New York City, and L. Stengel of Newark. Besides these, there were two of the crew, Sir Cosmo, myself and a Miss Frank, an English girl. Doomed Men Joke. There were a number of other passengers, mostly men, standing nearby, and they joked with us because we were going out on the ocean. "The ship can't sink," said one of them. "You will get your death of cold out there in the ice." We were slung off and the stokers began to row us away. We cruised around among the ice for two hours. Sir Cosmo had looked at his watch when we went off. It was then exactly 12:15 a. m., and I should think 15 minutes after the boat struck. I did not seem to be very cold. There was no excitement aboard the Titanic. Sees Ship Quiver. Suddenly I clutched the sides of the life boat. I had seen the Titanic give a curious shiver. The night was perfectly clear. There was no fog and I think we were afraid to look away. Everything could be clearly seen. There were no lights on the ship except a few lanterns which had been lighted by those on board. Immediately after the boat gave this shiver we heard several pistol shots and a great screaming arose from the decks. Then the boat's stern lifted in the air and there was a tremendous explosion. After this tne Titanic dropped back again. The awful screaming continued. Two minutes after this there was another great explosion. The whole forward part of the great .liner dropped 'down under the waves. The stern rose a hundred feet almost- perpendicularly. The boat stood up like an enormous black finger against the sky. Little figures hung to . the point of the finger and dropped into the water. The screaming was agonizing. I never heard such a continued chorus of utter despair and agony. Then there was another great explosion and the great stern of the Titanic slowly sank as though a great hand was pushing It gently down under the waves. As it went, the screaming of the poor souls left on board seemed to grow louder. It took the Titanic perhaps two minutes to sink after that last explosion. It went down 'slowly without a ripple. Sees Monster Sink. We had heard of the danger of suction when one of these great liners sinks. There wasno such thing

Bad Blood Caused Abscess How Vinol Saved Mrs. Hall It took a dangerous and painful experience to prove to Mrs. Hattie Hall that she had let her health run down. In a letter from Schnectady, N. Y., she says: "I was forcibly reminded that my system needed renovating and that my blood was out of order, by the fact that an abscess formed in my side a short time ago and , required treatment for several weeks. "Under the regular use of Vinol to enrich and purify my blood and build up my strength, this was soon healed up and my general health very much improved." Right now is the very best time of year to put your blood in good order by the use of our delicious cod liver and iron remedy without oil, Vinol. It enriches the blood by adding iron and thus frees it Jrom its impurities. Vinol is wonderfully strengthening and vitalizing for all who are run-down and weak, and we guarantee it to give perfect satisfaction. Leo H. Fihe, Druggist, Richmond, Ind.

about the sinking of the Titanic. The amazing part of it all to me as I sat there in the boat' looking at this monster being destroyed was that it could all be accomplished so gently. Then began the real. agonies of the night. Up to that time no one in our boat, and I imagine no one i any of the other boats had really thought that tbe Titanic was going to sink. For a moment an awful silence seemed to hang over everything and then from the water all about where the Titanic had been arose a bedlam of shrieks and cries. There were women and men clinging to the bits of wreckage in the Icy water. It was at least an hour before the last shrieks died out. I remember next to the very last cry was that of a man who had been calling loudly, "My God, my God," in a monotonous and hopeless way. For the entire hour there had been an awful chorus of shrieks, gradually dying into a hopeless groan until this last cry that I speak of. Then all was silent. When the awful silence came we waited gloomily in the boats throughout the rest of the night. At last morning came. On one side of us was the ice floes and the big bergs and on the other side we were horrified to see a school of tremendous whales. Then as the mist lifted we caught sight of the Carpathia looming up in the distance and heading straight for us. j "' - We were too numbed by the cold and horror of that awful night to cheer or even to utter a sound. We just gazed blankly at one another speechless. Indeed, there seemed to be no one among us who cared much what happened. Chop Off Clothing. Those in the other boats seemed to have suffered more than we had. In one of the boats was a woman whose ' clothing was frozen to her body. The men on the Carpathia had to chop it off before she could be taken into a warm room. Several of the stokers and sailors who had manned the boats had been frozen to death. I did not see Captain Smith after I was put into the small boat but it was told me that when the Titanic went down, Captain Smith was seen swimming in the icy water. He picked up a baby that was floating on a mass of wreckage and swam with it to one of the small boats. He lifted the baby into the boat but the child was

dead. Captain Smith refused to get into the boat saying that he would cling to a piece of wreckage. Nothing more was seen of him. There was an absolute calm and silence on the Carpathia. There were hundreds of women who had lost their husbands and among them fifteen brides. No one cared to talk. The gloom was awful. Flat Woes. "Was there a telephone call for me this morning V" 1 asked the West Indian bellboy. "No. sir." he answered positively. "IX-y ain't been no such call fun you fuh two days, sab." ' ; "Are you sure?"

Weoden Ammunition Some years ago civil war was raging Between two Afghan tribes, tbe All Khel and the Mala KheL Tbe latter tribe built great hopes of e access on a cannon of such a size that ICO men were required to draw it. A 8ikh trained in a British battery was engaged to work tbe gun on the understanding that he received 20 rupees every time he hit the Tillage fort of the foe. This did irot proT remunerative, for, according to an eyewitness, the ammunition consisted of ollve wood balls Iwund with Iron bands, which have a highly eccentric flight and are calculated to do about equal damage to friend and fee." After a three days bombardment, in which the fort was hit only three times, tbe hostilities came to an end. London Standard.
