At 8:35, or approximately that time, April 15, we published the following: Officers of White Star Line stated at 8 o'clock this morning that passengers on the Titanic were being taken off in boats and that there was no danger of loss of life. The Baltic and the Virginian they stated were standing by to assist in the rescue work. On Titanic there were 300 first class, 320 second class, 800 third class passengers, and a crew of 900 men. It is not yet known whether the vessel will be saved. White Star people are in something of a quandary if she should be saved, as it is said there is no dry dock on this side of the Atlantic to take care of her.
That was obtained by Mr. Gingold, one of our reporters, from the White Star office.
A dispatch from Halifax reports that all passengers had left the Titanic in boats shortly after 3:30 this morning.
That was received from the Boston News Bureau, our Boston correspondent.
An official of White Star Line said: "There is no danger that Titanic will sink. The boat is unsinkable, and nothing but inconvenience will be suffered by the passengers."
That was obtained from Mr. Franklin by two of our reporters, Mr. Smallwood and Mr. Byrne, who both saw him at the time.
Vice President Franklin, of International Mercantile Marine, says, regarding reported accident to Titanic: |
