RAN MAN OF THE SEA TELLS HIS TALE Second Officer of Titanic Before Senate Probers. IS GUARDED IN HIS REPLIES Makes Positive Assertion That Ship Was Amply Provided With Life saving Devices Was Washed From Deck and Engulfed In Whirl pool, but Came to Surface and Helped Man Collapsible Boat That Had Capsized Ismay Testifies. New York, April 20. Charles W. Llghtoller, a man of the sea, second officer of the Titanic, and senior of cer of the ship, was a witness before the senate committee Investigating the wreck. He told a narrative of what preceded tho sinking of tho Titanic, what happened while womon wore taken away In boats as bravo men stood by, and what happened when the Titanic took her last dip. It was a story of horelsm told quietly and calmly. Llghtoller said that ho did not know what the maximum speed of the Titanic was. Ho had heard talk ing with other oflleers and othors that her speed was between 22Vd and 2.'t knots; but ho did not know that tho Titanic had been put to her max imum speed. The buildors, ho said, had expected to get 21 knots out of ber. As to tho llfesavlng apparatus tin board, Llghtoller said that tho l'ltanlc wan "perfectly complete" Hurled Into Vater. It was Captain Clark of the British board of trade, Llghtoller said, who made the examination of the Titanic before sho had been approved by the British authorities. Senator Smith of Michigan, who conducted tho ex amination of Llghtoller, asked him how Captain Clark waB regarded by olHrors or ships. Uo said ho was a very strict man. Senator Smith then RBkod Llghtoller IT ho had ever bcon lr. tho sea with a lifebelt on. LIghtoIlor Hiild he had. "When?" asked the senator. "Aftor the Titanic sunk," said the witness. "How long?" "From a half to an hour.". "Did you leave tho ship?" "No, Blr." "Did It lenvo joii?" "Yes, Blr." "Did joii stay until the ship sunk?" "Yes, sir." Ho was asked if the suction of tho sinking Titanic wan a great deter rent in making progress in tho water In getting away from her. "Hardly noticeable," said LIghtoIlor, who sup plemented this atiBwcr later as ho made It a point only to answer at the time tlio exact iiuestlons asked, "Were tho llfcbonts gone when you found yoursolf without footing on the ship?" "All but one, which was In tackle." At this point Llghtoller explalnod that It was tho third boat on tho port side which was lowered and hud caught. It was Impossible, he said, to release It, First Officer Mm dock whs managing the tackle. "At that time, did you see Mr. Is may?" Senator Smith asked, "No, sir." "At any time did you seo him?" "I saw him on tho boat deck," Llgh toller said, "when we stalled to un cover the boats after the impact. It was about 20 minutes after the col lision," Llghtoller explained that at that time theie was no other paBsengor on tho deck, but later there were plenty of them. It appeared that the lifeboat which stuck was about Ifi feet from the dock, nnd Llghtoller said there was ho opportunity to get to It. The boat never was lowered, H went with the ship, "Did you believe that the Titanic Was In danger?" questioned Senator Smith. "No, sir," suld the wltuesB, "Did you believe that theie had been a serious accident?" "No, sir," was the answer, with slight emphasis on each woid. "What was the foice of the Impact when the Titanic struck the berg?" "Theie was a slight ri hiding, then shock." "Any noise?" "Very little." "What lime elapsed after the liu (act aud your uppeutauce on deck?" Two minutes," said the witness, "What did joii think you had JMruck?" "Ice," Jumped at Conclusion. "Well, why?" uaked Senator Smith, "Naturally Jumped at the conclu sion," said Ltghtnllei, "Theie was Ire mound the banks," "Did joii know that the Amerlka had leported to the Titanic the loca tion of IcnberRS In Unit neighbor hood?" "I heaul of the message, but 1 didn't know that It was tho Amor Ika. The message gave the longitude but not the latitude. The Icebergs were leported between 49 and CI," "Did you get from Cuptnln Smith that night any Information about the Icebergs" "Not Hint ulght," said Llghtoller. "I think It wns In the afternoon about 1 o'clock. I was on tho brldRe, having relieved First Of ficer Murdock, who had gone to lunch.'

Only once did Llghtoller raise hlB voice perceptibly and that was whon he denied that there was any favor itism for the crew that mitigated ugalnst the chances of tho cBcapo of the passengers. Asked If he had been onloied by Captain Smith to send the women llrst, or he had done ki because it was the rule of tho i.ea, he said: "It Is a rulo of human nut inc." Llghtoller then described the oper ation of loading the bonis and what happened to him, There waa a col lapsible boat oil top of the afllcor' !)uaitcrs. It was not an unusual place for tho boat, Tho boat was cut I way. As It went over the side Llghtoller said that n number of luen JiMnped on It. It was the boat which he found overturned later on tvltli no one In It, i Last Boat Had Left. "I was standing,'' sad Llghtoller, "on top of the oflleers' quarters. There was nothing more to bo dono. The last boat had been sent away. The ship took a dive. 1 faced for waid, I also took n dive. As I went under the water I was pulled to tho grating over the exhaust pipes. I do not know how long I was there. I do not know that my head was un der water. Then this explosion or whntoAer It was blew mo clear out of the water. I did not see debris then, I was not thrown far from tho ship. I was baiely away from It. As the ship went down and the wnter rushed Into her, I was drawn In nnd against the grldley grnte oer the funnel draught pipe, I do not know how I wns released, I think tho bolleis must have exploded again." "Where did you lliul yourself next? On the raft, or near It?" "I was In the same position, but the boat had tome around. There wore a lot of k In the water mound It. I got to (he collapsible boat which was over turned, There was no oue on It then. When I got to the overturned bont one of the funnels of the Ti tanic fell wltblu four Inches of tho boat. It fell on all the people who Vtre there." "Was anybody saved of those struck?" "I couldn't sny, sir." "Wiib unybody killed?" "I can not say, sir." About 30 men eventually got to the capslxed boat. Among them wore John H, Thayer of Philadelphia, Col onel Guide, Philips, tho senior oper ator on the Titanic, and Pride, his nsslatnnt, Llghtoller said that ho thought all of tho rest of the HO were firemen of tho Tltaulo. Threo or four men slipped off the boat. One of them was Philips. The witness said that no effort was HHBliiiSNHH M'V! ''fr- WTJHrntMw made to keep off nny of those In tho water from getting to the capsized boat. He took command of the boat ns far as It was necessary. The next he remembers thoy were about half a mile away fiom tho Titanic. "When ymtjtleft (ho ship did you see nny women or children on her?" "None whatever," said Llghtoller. J. Bruce .J$iiiy, In giving his tes timony, declared that there were no women waiting (o get Into the life boat which he entered, and that he saw no passengers near the boat when ho left tho vessel. He never looked back to sec Captnln Smith go ing down Into the sea at his post on tho bridge, nor to see the remaining passengers and crew prepare for tho Una plunge. Mr. Isniay 'said there was no explo lion on the Titanic after the collision with the Icelj'pig. He said he knew they were near the Ice fields, but the speed of the steamer was not re duced, Arthur II.

Now York, April 20. Tho liner Carpathla, which brought In the sur vivors of the Titanic, sniled on her Interrupted vojage t( tho Mediterra nean and the Adriatic amid the cheers of friends of the passengers and a multitude that had come to tho pier to see what the rescuing ship looked like. ACTED PART OF HERO Captain Smith Praised by All Sur vivors. of Titanic Horror. Now York, April 20. The sur vivors of the Titanic spoke of Cap tnin E. .1. Smith as a brave man who stood calmly ordering his crew and directing the lowering of the boats. Most of them were sure that the cap tain vas drowned and dismissed as an absurdity the reports that he had shot himself. Several of the passengers a few that went down with tho shlj) and were picked up by tho small boats -said that Captain Smith threw hlni Mjlf overboard Just before the broken ship fotindcrcdt''lIe had been on the bridge up to that time. Then he walked aft. telling the men near him that It was time for everybody to save himself, and Jumped into the sea. Nobody was able to say whother the captain deliberately sought death and lefused to be taken aboard a raft, although some of tho crew be lieved that was the case. Tho last that anybody saw of the captain was when ho was putting a child aboard a raft. The boats were so far separated when the Titanic roundorod that few had a glimpse of the captain whllo he was In the water. Two or threo who thought they recognised Captain Smith say Hint ho was apparently exhausted and Bank before he could struggle to a boat. s An Esfate To Secure The Sum Of $1,000 Uther Items Of Interest From Tim Court House P, L.
