STORIES OF THE SURVIVORS
Men Who "Went Down, Down to Death on the Titanic
and Then, Battling and Praying, Saved Themselves
on Driftwood, Are Kescued and Tell the Awful
Story of the Last Moments of the Victims
of World's Greatest Disaster at Sea.
Hsfew York, K T., April 19. Never was there so much
pathos to the sinking of a great ocean liner as attended
the wrecking of the Titanic, according to the stories of the
survivors; never did so many men live through such trying
conditions to recount the details. Several reached here on
the Carpathia last night who actually sank with the great
ship, then came to the surface and were rescued. Their
stories sound like a voice from the tomb.
Graphic Star;- ef Rescue.
Maj. Gracie. United States army, who
last night related a graphic story of the
-wrecking of the gigantic steamship and
of the details of the rescue, supplement
ed it today with additional details.
After sinking with the great ship, he
says:
"Again and again I prayed for de
liverance, although I felt sure that the
end had come. My greatest difficulty
was in holding my breath until J. came
to the surface
Men ana Wemca Dying.
"I reached the surface after a time
that seemed unending. There was noth
ing in sight save the ice, which dotted
the ocean, and a large field of wreck
age. There were dying men and women
all about me. groaning and crying pit
eouslj. "The second officer and J. B. Thayer,
jr . who were swimming near, told me
that Just before my head appeared
above the water, one of the Tttanic's
funnels separated and -fell apart near
me. scattering the bodies in the water.
"I saw wreckage everywhere. All
that came within my reach I clung to.
A great crate-like block of wood floated
within my grasp and I grasped it. It
seemed to be sufficiently large to keep
me afloat. At this moment, however, I
saw an overturned boat a short dis
tance away and swam to it. I caught
the arm of a man who grasped it, threw
my leg over the boat and rested on it.
"On this raft it was really a col
lapsible boat that was called a raft
there already were lying more than 20
men who seemed to belong to the
Titanic's crew. Two men. one in the
bow, the other In the stern, propelled
us through the wreckage with pieces
of wood, which answered for oars.
Dying Mea Forced From Raft.
"Presently the raft became so full
that it seemed she would sink if more
came aboard and the crew, for self
preservation, had to refuse to permit
others to ciimD aooaru. tua w eu.
once the most pathetic and the most
horrible scene of alL The piteous cries
of those around us still ring in my ears.
I will remember them . to y dying
day.
" 'Hold on to what you have, old boy,
we shouted to each man who tried to
get aboard. "One more of you aboard
would sink us all' Arid many whom we
refused, answered, as they went to their
death :
" 'Good luck and God bless you.'
"All the time we Were' buoyed and
sustained by hope for rescue. We saw
lights in all directions, particularly in
front, where green lights shone and
rockets were fired - in he air. "We
learned laetr that the lights and the
rockets came from one of the Titanic's
life boats.
All Prayed for "Deliverance.
"And so we passed the night with
the waves washing over us and the
raft buried deep In the water, under
our feet.
"Did we pray? Men who seemed to
have forgotten Ions: 'ago how to address
their Creator, recalled the prayers of
in preparing. He said he would returr
to England to duplicate the data.
Swedish Officer's Story.
S. H. Bjornsten Steffanson, of Stock
holm, a lieutenant in the Swedish Ar
titllery Guards, who was a first cabin
passenger on the Titanic, said:
"I was in the smoking room talking
with Hugh Woolner, an Englishman,
when the crash came. We rushed to the
deck. A man at the rail told us he had
seen an iceberg 50 feet higher than the
top deck just go by. The lights did
not go out and there was no confusion
at first.
"I said to Wollner:
" "We had better lump.' and we both
'umped. When we came up, we found
ourselves beside a collapsible life boat.
We grabbed it and were towed along
for a few minutes, when the Titanic
men who manned the boat said they
could take two more passengers aboard
and hauled us In. A second later, a fat
man bobbed up in front of the life boat
and he too, was taken aboard. The
three of us brought the gunwales of
the boat close to the water, but in the
perfect calm, she floated.
Saw Titanic Officer Shoot Pistol.
"We were about 200 feet from the
Titanic when we saw her lights go out. J
inirry second later mere was a roar
and we saw her settle slowly and then
plunge, head-down, for the bottom. It
was quiet for a moment. Then persons
aboard the Titanic came to the surface
and there was a most terrible cry.
"Just as the Titanic settled for the
last plunge, I saw one of the officers
shoot his revolver into the air twice."
Heroism of the English sailors who
went down with the Titanic was the
one thing which most impressed Paul
Cheveret, the Canadian sculptor, who
left the steamship in one of the first
life boats. lowered. He said there was
no sign of cowardice among the male
passengers or the crew.
"I was off the Titanic before thera
was any real panic," Mr. Cheveret said.
"I will take my hat off to the English j
seamen who went down with their ship
nd to the men who manned the life
boats. Every man of them was a man.

Resolution Providing For
Election of Senators-Prob-ably
Will Pass Senate.
ENGLISH SPEAKING
MINE BILL REPORTED

White Star Line Managing
Director Says He Got in
After the Women.
Phoenix, Ariz., April 19. In the sen
ate today a resolution demanding the
direct election of senators prooably
will be passed. The bill authorizing
the state and municipalities to engage
In industrial pursuits passed the'sen
rate 15 to 4, two Republicans and two
Democrats voting in the negative.
Bills providing for an investigation
of state offices and to furnish more
help to the secretary of state also
passed the house. The senate commit
tee having in charge the Kinny bill
prohibiting employment of non-English
speaking persons in mines and
smelters, submitted majority and mi
nority reports. The majority report
lecommended the attachment of a ref
erendum clause for a vote In the next
general election and the minority rec
ommended an indefinite postponement.
The majority report was- adopted and
the bill -was sent back to the commit
tee to attach the referendum clause.
The senate passed a resolution for
a committee to arrange an exhibit at
the San Diego exposition. The house
passed a bill which provides that for
eign corporations must conduct their
litigation in the states courts. There
-a as a hard fight on this bill, which
passed 18 to 14, with three absent.
The first Republican resolution yet
to pass the legislature has just gone
through. This Js the resolution in
viting senator La Follette to visit Phoe
nix and address the lawmakers. There
was no opposition. Wilson. Clark and
La Follette have already been Invited
and others are in prospect.
Osteopaths Lose Fight.
The hopes of the osteopaths for an
independent examining board have
gone glimmering. The senate commit
tee of the whole has recommended for
indefinite postponement the bill mak
ing this provision and there is no hope
that this ball, or a similar one, will
pass at this session at least. To take
the place of this bill another has been
introduced by Dr. Sims, one of the
members from Cochise county. The
Sims bill recognises the osteopaths, but
in a aiiierent way. it provides for a
medical board to consist of five mem
bers, one of which shall be an osteo
path. But it contains many other pro
visions that are extremely distasteful
to practitioners not of the "regular"
schools and is said to be too friend
ly to the "doctors" trust."

"Long before light, we stood in col

delicate balance should be disturbed
and all of us thrown again Into the
water. The hand of God seemed to have
soothed the sea and It was calm.
"An age seemed to have passed when
we first saw the twinkling lights of the
Carpathia. We recognised her as our
rescuer. The Marconi operator one of
the 35 on the raft confirmed our hopes
by saying that he knew it was the Car
pathia. While we looked, someone
whispered that there was also a ship
behind us. We dared not turn about to
look, so fearful were we that we would
disturb the balance.
False Hope Aroused.
"The second officer finally ordered
one man to look behind. The slipping
of one man would have meant the
death, probably of all of us. The man
who looked passed the word that there
was no ship behind.

Titanic's life boats were seen on our

of a sailor who had died of cold and ex

"I. with my sogged overcoat heavy
with water, pitched head foremost into

Capt. Smith's Death.
George A. Braden (on the passenger
list as George Bray ton) told how Capt.
Smith met his death.
"I saw Capt. Smith while I was in
the water. He was standing on the
deck all alone. Once he was swept
down by a wave, but managed to get
to his feet. Then, as the boat sank, ha
was knocked down by a wave and this

Mrs. Churchill Candee. of Washing

Mrs. Candee said she received ter in

Most of the men saved saved, she de
clared, were picked up from the wa

the lifeboats had been launched.
"Maj. Archibald Butt and Col. John
Jacob Astor died like heroes," she said,
but before she could tell more of the
story of their end she was hurried
away.

One version of the deaths of Jons

told by Philip Mock, who with his sis

the survivors.
"Many men were hanging on to rafts
in the sea," said Mr. Mock. "William T
Stead, the author, and Col. John Ja
cob Astor clung to a raft. Their feel
became frozen and they were com
pelled to release their hold. Both were
drowned."

H. Haven, of Indianapolis, said the
Titanic was going at high speed when
she struck and tnat tne neimsman ap

the helm over, for the boat veered to

at Beulah, Miss., Wednesday night.
All of the victims were negroes.
It is believed many more persons
have perished. Twenty houses in the
direct path of the flood were swept

rescued.
New York, N. Y., April 19. The story
of how the Titanic met Its fate ' was
told -today to the United States senate
investigating committee Into the Ti
tanic disaster by J. Bruce Ismay, man
aging director of the White Star line.
Wnen asked the circumstances un
der which be left the boat, Mr. Ismay
replied almost in a whisper:
"One of the boats was being filled.
Officers called out to know If there
were any more women to go. There
were none. No passengers were on the
deck. As the boat was being lowered,
1 got Into it."
The details of the story was drawn
out by senator William Alden Smith,
chairman of the special subcommittee
charged with the examination of wit
nesses, and senator Newlands.
"The accident took place on Sunday
night," said Mr. Ismay. "The exact
time I do not know, because I was
asleep. The ship sank, I am told, at
2:30.
Net Going at Full Speed.
"She was built to go SO revolutions
and had never been speeded up to that.
We never had all her boilers working.
It was our intention to speed the boat
up to her full quota on Tuesday, but
tue catastrophe came to prevent it"
Mr. Ismay said it was arranged be
tween him and captain Smith of the
Titanio not to arrive at Now York
light ship before 5 a. m. Wednesday.
"There would have been no advan
tage In arriving earlier," he added,
"Was there any attempt to lower the
boats of the Carpathia to take on pas
sengers after you west aboard her?"
asked senator Smith.
"There were no passengers to take
on," said Mr. Ismay.
"In your life boat what course did-
you take?" the senator asked.
"We saw a light and headed for it"
said Mr. Ismay.
"How long were you in this life
boat?" "About four houra."
Carried 20 Lifeboats.
"How many lifeboats were on the
Titanic?"
Twenty, altogether, I think," re
plied Mr. Ismay. "16 colapsible and
four wooden boats."
"Were all the lifeboats that left the
Titanic accounted for?"
"I think so; I've been told so. but
I do not know of my own knowledge."
In response to questions, the wit
ness estimated the speed t the ship
when she struck at 11 knots.
Senator Smith asked the witness If
he had anything to do with selecting
the crew for his lifeboat
"J, dW not" was the snappy reply.
Can you tell us," senator Smith
asked, "anything about the inspection
certificate that was issued for the Ti
tanic before she sailed."
"I know that the government inspec
tion was thorough or the boat never
cuuia nave saiiea.
Had Preeer umbpr nf TXnntm
"Do you know whether the Titanic
had its proper number of lifeboats?"
"Yes. she had; I think there were 20
boats altogether."
Turning to the construction of the
ship, Mr. Ismay declared the ship was
especially constructed so that with any
two of the larger compartments full of
water she still w uld fl-at
"If the ship had struck head on, she
probably would be afloat today," he
added.
"Did any of the collapsible boats
sink?"
"No, sir."
"Did you attempt to Interfere with
the working of the wireless on the
Carpathia?"
-Tha, captain probably will tell you
I was not out of my room from the
time I got Into It until last night" waa
the reply.
"During your voyage did you know
you were in the vicinity of Ice?" sena
tor Smith asked.
"I knew some had been reported," re
plied the witness.
He said the ship was not In proximity
to icebergs Saturday or Sunday, al- '
though he knew the ship would be near
ice on Sunday night The witness said
he knew nothing of the Amerlka and
the Titanic talking by wireless about
icebergs. ;
Carpathian Captain Testifies
Gallantry of the Captain and Crew Praised by Passengers Some of the Men Who Sank
With the Ship Live To Tell the Story of the Ocean's Greatest Tragedy.
Ismay Declared To Have Taken the First Boat.
New York, N. Y., April 19. Seven hundred and forty-five persons, mostly wo
men, sicliin heart and body, Wrote into the annals of maritime history today the loss of the
biggest steamship ever built by man. They Were the survivors of the ice-riven White Star
liner Titanic which sank bow foremost, with 1595 souls'abdard, her captain at the bridge,
her colors flying and her band playing "Nearer, My God, to Thee," in 2000 fathoms of
water, off the banks of New Foundland under starlit skies at 2:20 a. m. Monday.
With one voice they told of the splendid heroism of those who remained behind to
find' a watery grave that they might live.
Captain Smith died, they said, as a gallant sailor should, after having first placed all
the women who would go, aboard the lifeboats. There were many who stayed behind to
die in their husband's arms. ,
From their narratives stand out in bold relief the following facts!
The Titanic Was making 21 knots an hour when she struck lne iceberg.
No one at first thought she would sink-
She remained afloat more than two hours.
The iceberg ripped open her hull below the water line.
Instant panic was averted by captain Smith's terse appeal to his crew: "Be British,
my men.
A small number of steerage passengers tried to rush for the life boats and Were held
back by the crew and other passengers.
The Titanic turned her nose for the bottom when the last life boat was less than a
hundred yards away' reared her stern high in the air and trembled for a moment before
seeking the bottom.
There were two explosions when the inrushing waters reached her boilers.
When she sank to silence a moment later, the cries and supplications of 1500 dying
men rose in chorus indescribable over the spot where she went down. For hours the surviv
ors rowed in lifeboats over a calm sea in bitter- cold until the Carpathia picked them up'
In the aftermath today of the disaster, the principal developments were the testi
mony of J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star line, before the senate inves
tigating committee, and the removal of surviving members of the Titanic s crew aboard the
Lapland.
The total saved from the Titanic was officially placed today al 705 by W. W.
Jeffries, general passenger agent of the White Star line, although the latest revised list of
survivors accounts for 745 persons. If the White Star report is accepted as final, the total
number of dead is increased to 1635.
