Beasley, a Cambridge University man, one of the second cabin passengers. "The steamer lay as if waiting for orders to-go on again, when some trifling matter had bean adjust ed, " he, said? ,JBut in a few mlLUtea we saw the covers lifted frODftthe boats and crews alloted Ho ib&LitiXaPL l3jrady -tot iow er tnem ta the water, rreeeutiy we heard' an order : All me3 stand back, and all ladies retire to next deck below, smoking room deck, or B deck. The men, stand ing away, remained in absolute silence, leaning against the end railing, or pacing slowly up and down. vThe boats were lowered from i .deck . When they were to the evel of B. deck, where the wom en were collected, the women got in quietly with the exaeptioa of some, who refused to leave their husbaudt . ' Iu some cases they were torn from their husbands and pushed into the lifeboatB, "All this time there was no traced of disorder; no panic or rush for the boats ; no scenes of women , sobbing hysterically. Erery one nenmed to realize so slowly that there was imminent danger. When it was realised e would.be presently in the sea, with, nothing but our life belts to support us until we wece picked up bypassiug steamers it was ex traordinary how cairn every one was .and how complete the self- control. -if4i- Oue bv one the -boats were filled 'with women ,itgfoaildrea,- and lowered and rowedvaway into the - nieht. Soon word went around among the men, "Men are to be put in the boats on the starboard side." I was on the p irt side sod most of the men walked across the deck to see if thin was so. Preseatlv I heard a a oall: "Any more ladies;" 3aw.one more come. One of the onw said then. "You better jump." I dropped in, falling to the botf m as they cried: "Low er away " Mr. Baasley said the lifeboat was nearly two miles away from the Titanic two hours later, when thev saw the liner sink. The other survivors nearer the ship Hoard "Nearer. My God, to Thee," played by the band as the Tinr sank. Suddenly there wat a miehtv roar and the ship, al- o - ' ready had submerged, buckled and apparently bri ke in two, l y tbeibrce.of the exp.osion caused when water jreached th hot boilers. The bow sank first For fully five minutes the stern was poised almost vertically in the air when flocldanly it plunged out of sighs. v With the last hope gone of.se.e- iog loTedoiDtmltTef many, wo- men in the life -boats seemed in different whether they were-saved. They were; , nearly a thousand miles from .'Van'd and with no knowledge that a ship of; succor was v spedirig to thenur There seemed scant hope of surviving in the little boats. There - were six teen boats in the . procession, which entered upon the terrible hours of suspense. " The OaTpathia, whicn ' received the Titanic's distress Bignals, reached the scene of disaster about 7 o'clock, and picked up the lifeboats' occupants. -The Carpathja's passengers who. . were bound for a Mediterranian cruise, 8 ho wed every consideration for tha survivors, many giving up their cabins to them . The res cued were in all conditions of dress and undress, and women on the Carpathia vied with each other in supplying missing gar ments. H. Haven, of Indianapolis, said that the Titanio was going at high speed when she struok- "A large section of the plates on the starboard1 side ripped off . and water, poured in. There yjjft great rush for the lifeboats when it became known there ' was danger! So precipitate wjS4rtbe rush that many leaped otJSard. The lights continued lurning, although the ship sank lower and lower. When we were distant from the sinking ship and 'saw figures of hundreds of people on desk at railings several explo sions occurred in the ship. The Titanic buckled amidship. We saw people sliding off into the water both before and after. Then the boat settled by the bow, the lights went out and that was tne lass w 5 saw ot ne Titanic." . ... - m - at tacnnoe of Captain 'Smith and other Titanio effioers. the sea would have claimed an even greater tell when the ship sank. "Be British," shouted the cap tain. Every man, it is said, obeyed the command and faced death calmly. The survivors said they remained at their posts and died like men. Philips, the first marponi ope rator aboard the Titanio, stuck to his post until the last aud jumped from the sinking ship, was taken aboard the life raft and died be fore the rescuers reached him ac cording . to the etory told by Thomas Whitlev. who said: "Philips wa9 on an overturned lifeboat with me. He was dead when taken aboard the Carpatbia. There were four burials at sea, one sailor, two firemen and Philip. There was panio for a. time aboard the ship, and the other officers had to use revolvers. The ohief offi :ar shot one man and the i shot himself. It- was a Hack berg we struck." Before the Carpathia reached the pier over $10,000 was avail able for the woman's re'ief fund to oire for the destitute steerage passengers, mostly women and children. -Arrangements have been made tooare for them as long as neces gary.: The survivors were re moved to temporary homes pro vided by the committee. rhb-e soffering from exposure were re moved to hospitals. Members of the stock exchange gave $20,030 for the survivors relief. j Dazed, yet nerved to the high est pitch by the ordeal through which they were passing, women survivors of the litanio were calm when the Carpathia reached the scene, borne liteboats ware being rowed by women . Gilbert M. Tucker, one of the anrvivors. said today that the most distressing scone- was hus bands' kissing their wives good bye and seeing the latter cling to them, begging the privilege of dyiDg with them.

On landing from the Carpa thia, the young bride, widowed by. th6 Titano's sinking, told mem bers of her family what she could recall of the ciroumstanoes of the disaster. Of how Colonel Astor met his deathTshe had no definite concep tion. She recalled, the thought, that in the confusion as she was about to be put . into one of .the boats, , the colonel was standing by her side. ' After that, as Mr. Biddle recounted her narrative, she hal no-very clear recollection of tho happaninga until the boats were well clear of tha sinking steamer. Mrs. Astor, it appears left in one of the last boats which got away frcm the ship. It was her belief that all the wcroen who wished to go had been taken off. Her impression was that the boat she left in had room for at least fifteen more persons. The men tor some reason, which, as she could not and does not how understand, did not seem to be at all anxious to leave the ship. Almost everyone seem ed dazed.
