HELP WITHIN SIGHT
AS TITANIC SANK
Unknown Ship, Close at Hand, Ignored Her
Signals of Distress, According to Fourth
Officer Boxhall's Evidence.
SO NEAR HER LIGHTS WERE SEEN
Captain Smith on the Bridge When His Vessel Struck the
Iceberg The Mackay-Bennelt Recovers Fifty Bodies,
and Many o? Them Are Buried at Sea -
Mrs. Astor To Be a Witness.
An unknown vessel was within five miles of the Titanio
when she was sending up signals of distress, .*in?-| stood acrosf
the Titanie's bow without answering tlie rail for lielp.
This was the testimony of .1. H. Boxhall, fourth officer of
the Titanic, before tin* Seriate committee in Washington yes?
terday.
Roxhall aKn testified that Captain Smith was on the bridge
when the Titanic struck the iceberg.
I\ A. S. Franklin, vice-president tit'the international Mer?
cantile Marine Company, said that the White Star Line ?ave
out reassuring reports on the Titanic up to 7 o'clock last Mon?
day because it ?believed the ship unsinkable.
This was in spite of i message from the Olympic, received
soon after noon on Monday, which said:
"Parisian reports Carpathia in attendance. Picked up
twenty boats with passengers, and Baltic returning."
Five messages from .?. Bruce [smay. telling Franklin to
hold the Cedric for ismay and the crew of the Titanic. w?era
read by Franklin.
After the crew of the Titanic has been heard many of
the passengers will he witnesses before the Senate committee. It
is understood that Mrs. .f. J. Astor and Mrs. J. B. '1'haver are
among those who have been asked to testify.
A wireless message \'v"\>.\ the cable ship Mackay-Bennett
said that fifty-three bodies from the Titanic had been recovered
Many ot' them were buried ?-it sea.
The Western Union cable ship Minia left Halifax to aid
in the search for bodies.
The Mayor's fund for the Titanic survivors reached
?S88.0f>f> 88 yesterday.
There was a rush by all transatlantic linea for lifesaving
equipment. All lines announced that they would equip their
ships with lifeboats and rafts enough to carry the entire com?
plement of passengers and crew at ont* time.
Naval officers severely criticised the operation of the Mar?
coni wireless system.
DISTRESS CALLS UNHEEDED,
DECLARES TITANIC OFFICER
Investigating Committee Hears Remarkable Story of Aid
That Might Have Been Had.
- . ?*,
Washington. April 22.?Another graphic story of the sinking of
the Titanic, with considerable detail regarding a mysterious steam?
ship which, although estimated to be only five miles distant, ignored
the distress signals of the great liner and indifferently sailed away,
leaving her two thousand passengers and crew to their fate, was told
to the Senate investigating committee to-day by J. B. Boxhall. fourth
officer of the lost ship.
Aside from this story of the disregard of the Titanie's signals, the
notable points of Boxhall's story were his declaration that Captain
Smith was on the bridge when the collision with "a submerged ice?
berg" occurred, and that J. Bruce Ismay was seen by Boxhall on the
bridge ten to fifteen minutes before Boxhall. at the captain's order,
he said, went over the side in command "of the next to the last lifeboat
on the port side."
P. A. S. Franklin, vice-president of the International Mercantile
Marine Company and its highest officer in this country, had been exam?
ined earlier in the day and had made a most favorable impression Mr.
Franklin acknowledged the authenticity of the messages signed
"Yamsi." which have already been published and which urged that
the steamship Cedric be held in order that not only the Titanie's crew
but also Mr. Ismay might leave for the other side immediately after
the arrival of the Carpathia. These telegrams constituted the only
testimony unfavorable to Mr. ismay i;iven to-day. One of them called
for a complete outfit, "including shoes, etc.." and created the impres?
sion that the president of the international Mercantile Marine Company
was very anxious lo get away from this country and back to Kngland.
The eagerness of Mr. Ismay, whn h Mr. Franklin acknowledged
was share?! by himself, to get the crew back to their homes he ex?
plained on the giound that the men would be subject to great templa
tions as long as they remained in this country, and were not subject
to that disdipline which would govern them, even were they given shore
liberiv. if they were attached to some ship to which they would have
to report at stated intervals, and as due to his conviction that they
would tell many highly colored .?.loties of the disaster.
COULD NOT BELIEVE THF NFWS
Mr. Franklin denied all knowledge of the reassuring message sent
to Representative Hughes, of West Virginia. He said the lust wool
of the catastrophe which reached him was from a newspaper, which
about 2:20 a. m. on Monday telephoned him the message which Rad
reached Montreal from the Virginian. He could not believe the new?.,
he sa??!, and did not know definitely of the disaster until 6:16 p. m.,
when he received confirmation from Captain Haddock of the Olympic
after a day of rumors and contradictory reports.
Fourth Officer Boxhall told a circumstantial and graphic slot y of
the collision, of his own actions preceding .md following the impact, of
the orders given by Captain Smith, and, finally, of the coming of the
Carpathia. He seemed to be anxious to tell the exact truth, and it
would be hard to explain just why his story did not carry with it the
conviction which attached to the stories of Second Officer Lighttoller
and Captain Rost ron, although for some far from obvious reasons it
did not.
Boxhall told his story almost entirely in reply to questions. He
said that as fourth officer he was never given command of the watch,
