Latest Word From.Nearby Vessel Indicates
That All of the Crew of Over Eight Hun
dred and Half the.Passengers Sank to
a Watery Grave When the Levi
athan Foundered After Strik
ing Iceberg---Many of Res
cued Are Picked Up
in Boats.
While the fate of the majority of the 2,100 persons on board the mammoth White Star
liner Titanic, which sank early yesterday in the Newfoundland banks after a collision
with an icberg, still remains in doubt, and it is feared that more than 1,200 persons were
lost, a note of good cheer came by wireless between i and 2 o'clock this morning. It was
in the shape of a wireless message from the White Star liner Olympic, one of the vessels
hovering near the scene of the disaster, flashing the news that 866 of the Titanic's pas
sengers, mostly women and children, were being brought to port by the Cunarder Car
pathia. Other messages later brought confirmatory tidings.
First reports were that the Carpathia had saved but 675 persons. The new figures re
duced the list of those for whose fate fear-was felt, by nearly 200 and if as seems prob
able practically all those saved were passengers, it would appear that all but approxi
!nately 450 of the vessel's passengers are accounted for.
A partial list of the survivors received from the Carpathia include the names of many
women of prominence.
After the call of the Titanic for help had brought steamers for hundreds of miles around
speeding to the scene, what seems to have been an impenetrable wall of silence was
raised between her and the shore. The giant liner, so far as last night's advices appear,
went to her fate without so much as a word of what must have been the scenes of the ter
rible tragedy enacted on her decks.
In the lack of even a line from a survivor, imanigation pauses before even trying to
conjecture what passed as the inevitable became known and it was seen that of the more
than 2,000 human lives with which she was freighted, there could be hope of saving, as it
appears, far less than half,.

from her stating that she would bring

she. "malny rescue."
The fact that the VirgIlin wis to

taken as a favorable Indication, arous
ing hope that after all slh rnfight have

T'he Titanic herself lies Iuried two
millles heneath the ocean's surfacie mid
way between Sable slatnd slid C1ape
Race. Her position when she struck
the Iceberg was given as latitude 41.46
longitude, 50.14 west,
According to the Carpatillla's advices,
the liner, which struck the icebreg at
10:25 o'clock Sunday night, sank at
2:20 o'clock Monday morning, nearly
four hours later, In latitude 41.16 north,
longitude 50.14 west, or not more than
halt a degree south of the point where
the collision occurred.
It seems probable from hits that the
liner after the accilept made very little
headway under her own steam,
It seems estbllthedthiiat there were
about 2,100 persons on the' liner. This
was thel estimate of the line officials
in New York, who gave thei number of
passengers as 1,$)0, the remainder of
the 800 making up the crew.
