New "fork, April 20.?The Titanic disaster, as written Into history today by all of the 746 survivors, ac counts for the ion 1,559 persons at sea off New Fonndland banks early Monday morning and the subsequent death Of six persons who bad been rescued, bringing the total list of lost to 1,595. These official figures magnify greatly the estimates which came by wireless. The stories survivors tell make it certain that this disaster was the 'greateest ocean travel has ever known. The facts coming to the sarface in the flood of narratives ate that 1546 persons met death; thac there is practically no hope that this {Otal will b4 curtailed by swingle additional survivor; that several merf of wealth ai*d world-wide prominence are among- thoee perished; that the only women saved are those who chose to die in their husbands embrace; that nearly all the survivors saw the Titanic gink and heard the band playing "Nearer,. My God ko Thee," amid the shrieks of those whom the sea claimed, as the vessel sank in 2,000 fathoms. The Titanic struck an Iceberg abo^t 90 feet high, which ripped the liner's sides open and made the water tight compartments useless. *; vhll?, the'veeosi was gradually sion which sent her to the bottom , One of the stirring narratives of the scenes following the oelllslon was told today by L.

"He waa 'showing off' his war shlf before a throng of passengers and made a miscalculation.
