TITANIC GOES DOWN
The giant liner Titanic has gone down off Cape Race, and there is no longer any doubt that her loss has been accompanied by appalling loss of life.OFF CAPE RACE. ————.———— Wrecked by Collision with an Iceberg. ————.———— TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE. ————.———— Saloon Passengers Picked up from the Boats. ————.———— THIS MORNING'S CABLES. ————.———— A telegram from New York, received in London at 2.40 this morning, quotes a statement of Mr. Franklin, Vice-President of the White Star Line, that there has been horrible loss of life. What precisely occurred cannot yet be known. It is sufficiently clear, however, that the Carpathia has on board only 675 of the passengers and crew. It may yet be hoped that news of others of the survivors may be received from the Virginian and the Parisian. From the disjointed reports so far to hand it seems certain that these vessels summoned to the aid of the doomed liner by wireless arrived only to find that she had disappeared beneath the waves. The passengers saved, as far as is known, are those of the first-class, and are for the most part women and children. These had no doubt been got into the boats as soon as it became apparent that the great liner could not remain afloat. What exactly was the capacity of the liftboats cannot at the moment be stated, but if the times indicated by the telegrams are correct, it would appear that the liner nearest to the wreck could not possibly reach it in time, and that the boats constituted the only hope left to the passengers and crew. |
The Titanic, which cost £1,250,000, was on her maiden voyage. Among those on board, who with the crew numbered 2,358, were Mr. J. Bruce Ismay, of the White Star Line, Mr. W. T. Stead, Col. J. J. and Mrs. Astor, Countess Rothes, Mr. C. M. Hays, President of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, Mr. and Mrs. M. Rothschild, Mr. Christopher Head, formerly Mayor of Chelsea, and a large number of other well-known people. A list of saloon passengers is printed elsewhere. It was at 3.25 yesterday morning that the signal "S.O.S." was circulated from the Marconi room of the Titanic. The Allan liner Virginian, steaming 170 miles away, first answered the call, and flashed news of the disaster to Montreal, whence it was transmitted to New York and London, as she raced to the rescue. Other ocean liners picked up the call for aid, and within a few minutes vessels representing many nationalities were on the way to the scene of the disaster. Among them were the Olympic —the Titanic's sister ship— the Baltic, and three or four German and French liners. At 3.55 a.m. the Virginian reported the receipt of a message from the Titanic stating that the vessel was going down by the head, and that the women and children were being transferred to the lifeboats. |

HUGE DEATH-ROLL.
————.———— Fears that Only 655 Have been Saved. ————.———— NEW YORK, Monday.
Six hundred and fifty-five of the Titainic's passengers and crew are known to have been saved. It is feared that the others have been lost. —Central News.8.15 p.m.
It was stated officially at the White Star offices this evening that probably a number of lives had been lost in the Titanic disaster, but that no definite estimate could be made until it was known positively whether the Parisian and Virginian had any rescued passengers on board. —Reuter.NEW YORK, April 15, 8.20 p.m.
The following statement has been given out by the White Star officials:Captain Haddock, of the Olympic, sends a wireless message that the Titanic sank at 2.20 a.m. Monday, after all the passengers and crew had been lowered into lifeboats and transferred to the Virginian. The steamer Carpathia, with several hundred passengers from the Titanic, is now on her way to New York. —Reuter. 8.40 p.m.
The White Star officials now admit that many lives have been lost. —Reuter.8.45 p.m.
The following dispatch has been received here from Cape Race : "The steamer Olympic reports that the steamer Carpathia reached the Titanic's position at daybreak, but found boats and wreckage only. She reported that the Titanic foundered about 2.20 a.m. in latitude 41 degrees 16 minutes, longitude 50 degrees 14 minutes."The message adds : " All the Titanic's boats are accounted for. About 675 souls have been saved of the crew and passengers. The latter are nearly all women and children. "The Leyland liner California is remaining and searching the vicinity of the disaster. The Carpathia is returning to New York with the survivors." —Reuter. 8.50 p.m.
The White Star officiais now give out as the text of Captain Haddock's message the following: " At 2.20 a.m. the Titanic foundered. The Carpathia is proceeding to New York with passengers."In giving out an earlier version one of the White Star clerks said the Carpathia was proceeding to New York with "survivors." —Reuter. 9.10 p.m.
The Titanic's survivors on board the Carpathia are stated at the White Star offices to include all the first-class passengers. She is expected to reach New York on Wednesday morning.No information has been received from the Parisian or Virginian at the White Star offices, where it is still believed that many of the Titanic passengers are aboard these vessels. —Reuter. 9.35 p.m.
Mr. Franklin, vice-president of the White Line, now admits that there has been "horrible loss of life." He says he has no information to disprove the Press dispatch from Cape Race that only 675 passengers and crew had been rescued.The monetary loss could not be estimated to-night, but he intimated that replace money," he added, "but not lives." —Reuter. 9.50 p.m.
The White Star officials now admit that probably only 675 out of the 2,358 persons on board the Titanic have been saved.
—————————
A marconigram received from the Cape Race wireless station a few minutes before 2.30 a.m. reported that the Cunard liner Carpathia reached the position of the Titanic at daybreak, to find only boats and wreckage.ONLY WRECKAGE. ————.———— Titanic Sunk When Carpathia Arrived. ————.———— The Titanic foundered about 2.20 a.m. in 41.16 N., 50.4 W. The wireless message continues: "All the Titanic's boats were accounted for, and about 675 souls were saved, including crew and passengers, the latter being nearly all women an children." "The Leyland liner Californian is remaining at the scene of the disaster, and is making further search. The Carpathia is returning to New York with survivors." (This news was transmitted via Marconi.) MONTREAL, April 15.
It is announced at the Allan Line offices, that the Virginian re-transferred the passengers she took from the Titanic to the Carpcathia shortly after receiving them, and that the change was made because the Carpathia was bound for New York.(From our Own Correspondent.)
NEW Y0RK, Monday Night.
Civilized communities in this hemisphere, no less than in the Old World, were stunned by to-day's news that the White Star liner Titanic, the greatest ocean vessel afloat, while on her maiden voyage had collided with an iceberg, and was sinking at sea 600 miles off Nova Scotia.The first wireless intimation was sent by the Marconi operator on board the Titanic, and sent on from Cape Race. First came the famous call for aid made historic by Binns of Republic memory three years ago. Then came the news, couched in vivid phrase and without circumlocution : "Have struck an iceberg 41.46 north, 50.14 west. Are badly damaged. Rush aid." It was not until past eleven o'clock that official intelligence was received here in the form of the following wireless message from the Carpathia Haddock, eastward bound on the Olympic : "Am 260 miles away. Parisian and Carpathia in attendance on Titanic. Carpathia has taken off boatloads of women and children. Calm sea, Baltic approching." This news relieved anxiety, which had been almost beyond description. The Carpathia's destination was the Mediterraneen, but it was assumed that she would return to land the rescued passengers at Halifax. The next wireless message said: Virginian arrived. Has thrown line, and is about to tow disabled liner 600 miles to Halifax. It is unofficially added that the Virginian was not the only Allan liner which aided in the rescue, for the Parisian was alongside before her sister ship had started preparations for acting as tug, and was helping herself to all the human cargo the Cunarder could not accommodate. Further unofficial messages state that the Parisian and the Carpathia, crowded to the rails with survivors, left the stricken liner soon after noon, and headed for Halifax, whence the passengers will be brought to New York by rail. When the Baltic have in sight the Cunarder and the Allan vessel had started, but the Baltic, which, singularly enough, performed a similar service for the Republic's passengers in January, 1909, taking them off the Florida, was sent in hot pursuit with the purpose of transferring the survivors, so as to enable them to reach Halifax perhaps half a day earlier. As the vessels laden with survivors got into touch with the wireless stations ashore hundreds of messages, including Transatlantic cablegrams from the London "Daily News" and the London "Daily Telegraph," were sent to the Carpathia. The Titanic's wireless apparatus was evidently out of commission, for the brief messages sent ashore came either from the Carpathia or the Parisian. |
BADLY DAMAGED.
Several coast stations reported having received unidentified messages, saying that the Titanic was very badly damaged, but all efforts to induce the captains of both the Titanic and the Olympic to say precisely to what extent were unavailing.Early in the afternoon Montreal had sent the "news" that the Titanic had sunk, but the White Star officiais refused to believe it. " We much prefer," they said, " the real intelligence coming from the Virginian's wireless operator."

25 ICEBERGS. ————.———— Narrow Escapes of Other Liners. ————.———— (From Our Own Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Monday Night.
Steamship company officials, usually the keenest business rivals, have been sympathetic in the highest degree. Scores of them have called at the White Star headquarters to inquire about the great ship. Had she been their own they could not have been more solicitous.Captain Jameson, of the American liner St. Paul, sister ship of the New York, which the Titanic had sucked from her moorings at Southampton as she started her maiden voyage, dropped in to give what cheer he could. "It would be easier to sink a cork than the Titanic with her fifteen water-tight bulkheads," he said. "You could break her into three pieces, and every one of them would stay afloat." Interesting news of the ice field into which the Titanic ran was brought by the Carmania yesterday. She herself had a perilous time. So had the French liner Niagara, and sereral smaller liners have been caught and badly damaged. Passengers on the Cunarder say they saw a fleet of twenty-five enormous bergs as the ship steamed by dead slow. Captain Dow constantly blew his siren, for the bergs were so big they could easily have hidden another liner a few hundred yards away. The captain told the reporters he had "never seen so much ice before. Ice was on all sides of us, trembling, undulating, and rasping, and every once in a while we ran into a growler." "What's a growler?" he was asked. "It's a piece of ice," he said, " which rams another, and is called the ice growler. We saw one huge plateau berg with a deep green reflection. "Thought I was 70 feet above water there were times when I could see nothing but great masses of ice. As we left this field we ran into a dense fog." This was last Thursday when the Carmania was off Newfoundland banks.
—————————
A REPORT OF PANIC. ————.———— HALIFAX (N.S.), Monday.
It is stated that there was some tendeney towards panic among the passengers during the first few moments after the collision, but that the majority of them behaved admirably.
—————————
Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Phillips, of Farncombe, Godalming, parents of the wireless operator on board the Titanic, last night received the following message from their son:"DON'T WORRY." ————.———— Wireless Operator's Message Home. ————.———— Making slowly for Halifax. Practically unsinkable; don't worry. Mr. J. G. Phillips, the operator, was appointed to the Titanic, for this voyage after having served on the Teutonic, Lusitania, Mauretania, and Oceanic. Mr. Phillips is 25 years of age, and served as a telegraphist in the Godalming Post Office, afterwards joining the Marconi School at Liverpool.
—————————
The total loss of the Titanic will prove a great disappointment to her owners and builders, who believed her unsinkable."UNSINKABLE." ————.———— News of the Loss a Blow to the Experts. ————.———— "The Titanic is unsinkable. Her bulkhead system is so complete that she cannot possibly go to the bottom. "That was the opinion of an expert yesterday, given in answer to a question as to the possibility of getting the leviathan to port. A representative of the builders informed an interviewer yesterday that the Titanic's hull was of tremendous strength. By means of fifteen transverse bulkheads the hull was divided into separate compartments, any two of which might be flooded without danger to the ship. Each bulkhead was fitted with watertight doors, those giving communication between the varions boiler rooms and engine rooms being arranged on the drop system. "Each door," said the official description, "is held in the open position by a suitable friction clutch, which can be instantly released by means of a powerful electric magnet controlled from the captain's bridge, so that, in the event of accident, or at any time when it may be considered advisable, the captain can, by simply moving an electric switch, instantly close the doors throughout, practically making the vessel unsinkable. "Moreover, as a further precaution, floats are provided beneath the floor level which, in the event of water accidentaly entering any of the compartments, automatically lift and thereby close the doors opening into that compartment if they have not already been dropped by those in charge of the vessel. "A ladder or escape is provided in each boiler-room, engine-room, and similar watertight compartment, in order that the closing of the doors at any time shall no imprison the men working therein; though the risk of this eventuality is lessened by electric bells placed in the vicinity of each door, which ring prior to their closing, and thus give warning to those below." It is thus plain that the Titanic's chances of reaching port depended upon the strength of the bulkheads in the flooded fore compartments. Probably the Virginian towed the crippled ship stern first in order to minimise the strain —the plan which was adopted, it will be remembered, when one-half of the Suevic, anothor White Star boat, was towed round to Southampton after the ship had been wrecked at the Lizard. |
CAPTAIN SMITH.
Captain E. J. Smith, B.N.R., who was in command of the Titanic, is one of the best known and most popular figures on the Atlantic service. He bas been particularly unlucky, as he was the captain of the Olympic when that vessel collided with the cruiser Hawke off Cowes last September. He has been a servant of the White Star line for many years, and has been placed in command of the company's biggest vessels.————.———— Master Who Commanded the Olympic. ————.———— Captain Smith, who is sixty years of age, was born in Staffordshire. He served his apprenticeship to the sea with Messrs. Gibson and Co., Liverpool. He joined the White Star Line as fourth officer, and has been one of the company's commanders since 1887. He was a member of the Executive Council of the Mercantile Marine Service Association prior to his removal to Southampton to take over the command of the Oceanic when the White Star moved their service to the Channel. He holds an extra master's certificate. Other leading officers of the Titanic are Surgeon AY. F. N. O'Loughlin, Assistant-Surgeon J. E. Simpson, Pursers H. W. McElroy and R. L. Backer and Chief Steward A. Latimer. The majority of the nine hundred men forming the Titanic's crew are either natives of Southampton or are domiciled at that port.

A CRASH AT NIGHT. ————.———— Passengers Sleeping at Time of Disaster. ————.———— NEW YORK, Monday Night.
The Titanic struck the iceberg at 10.25 last night (American time). She was then running at reduced speed. Most of the passengers had retired to bed, and were awakened and terrified by a thunderous impact which crushed and twisted the towering bows of the liner and broke them in like an eggshell.The behaviour of the crew is stated to have been exemplary, and they were assisted by many of the male passengers who succeeded in calming the women and children. —Central News.
—————————
With the movement of the ice southwards each year the perils of the Atlantic passages are increased. Ships' captains warn each other of the presence of these great floating islands, but they are often hidden by fog—even in broad daylight there may be only a few feet of a monster floe visible above the surface— and there is little warning of their presence.GIANT ICEBERGS. ————.———— Perils of the North Atlantic Passage. ————.———— Monster bergs have been reported in the month of May. The French liner Lorraine saw one in a recent May which was 675ft. high and l,50Ûft. long. The steamer Armenian sighted another in June, 1905, in the very neighbourhood from which the urgent calls came from the Titanic, and that berg vas 300ft. high and 900ft. long. Generally the portion of the berg visible above water is only one-eighth or one-ninth of its total depth. Many ships have been wrecked by these floating monsters. In 1903 20 steamers met with serious accidents through contact with ice near the Banks, and two were totally lost. In 1879 the liner Arizona drove her stern against a berg almost to the foremast, but floated owing largely to the fact that 300 tons of ice were jammed in her forepeak. She had 650 people on board, but got them all to port. The City of Berlin, with a company of 700, had a similar experience. In the spring of 1899 ten large tramp steamers were all put on the list of missing, and each of them was in the neighbourhood of the Newfoundland Banks when last heard of. Another bad ice year was 1909, when the iced peril was exceptionally severe. It is generally believed that two missing liners of the sixties, the City of Washington and the City of Boston, which disappeared with all hands, were lost by collision with icebergs.
—————————
The Titanic was insured at the low rate of 15s. per cent, for £1,000,000 against total loss, while for partial damage there is what is known as an access of £150,000. This means that if the vessel is not a total loss the company bears the cost of the first £150,000 worth of repairs themselves.INSURANCE RATES. ————.———— Owners to Pay First £150,000 Worth of Repairs. ————————— When the news of the disaster arrived the reinsurance rates started at 50 guineas, soon rising to 60 guineas, and then fell to 40. On the receipt of the unsigned message stating that the Titanic was proceeding under her own steam to Halifax, there was a further fall to 35 guineas, and then to 30 guineas. The ship cost £1,250,000 to build, and for insurance purposes her hull is valued at a million. So far as can be ascertained there is no specie included in the Titanic's cargo, but she was carrying a large number of valuable postal packets.

WORLD'S RECORD LINERS. ————.————

WIRELESS & LIFE-
There can be few men living to-day more entitled to feel they have benefited their day and generation as well as the unborn heirs of the planet than the remarkable band of men in the British Postal Telegraph Service, who, under Sir William
Preece, first investigated the mysteries of wireless telegraphy, and Signor Marconi, who made its use commercially possible.SAVING AT SEA. ————.———— WONDERFUL RECORD OF NINE YEARS. ————.———— WORLD'S GROWING DEBT OF GRATITUDE. ————.———— If, as was hoped yesterday, between two and three thousand souls are in safety who, ten short years ago, would have had only the barest chance of surviving the horrors of shipwreck in mid-Atlantic. And all this because one summer's morning in Gray's Inn-road in the early eighties a telephone linesman heard on an overhead line the Morse code messages being transmitted on an insulated cable running under the street a hundred feet below. His pole and wires were properly insulated, and yet the messages could still be heard. Sir Wm. Preece has told how the man came to him to solve the mystery; how they nearly threw away the key at the beginning of the search by trying to stop the wireless transmission; and how at last, finding they could not stop it, they turned it to acconut in the public service first in Scotland between an island and the mainland when a cable was broken, and then in Wales. To-day's story of the disaster to the Titanic provides a record in life-saving by wireless. The nine short years since its general adoption after the wreck of the St. Louis in the January of 1903 have, however, been full of instances in which its saving power, if one may put it so, has been demonstrated. It was in December, 1903, that the first use was made of wireless telegraphy in life-saving. On that date the Kroonland, of the Red Star Line, from Antwerp, with 900 passengers on board, encountered a fearful gale 150 miles west of the Fastnet. Her steering-gear was smashed, and the huge ship became a menace to herself and others. On board was a wireless installation, and the C.D.Q. signal for help was sent flashing out over the waters. Crookhaven was first to "pick up" the signals, and in the teeth of the gale tugs were soon on the way to find the liner. In an hour and a half those on board had got their instructions from Antwerp, via Crookhaven, and a few hours after were being towed into Queenstown and safety. Three months later, in March, 1904, the New York, which had stranded at Cape La Hogue, and in May of that year the Friesland, which was in difiiculties through a broken propeller shaft, both found help by the same means. But it is perhaps the case of the liner Republic, in January, 1909, which will be best remembered. One of its effects was to make famous Jack Binns, the wireless oporator on board. Outward bound with 761 souls, the Republic, of the White Star Company, was rammed while 70 miles south of Nantucket by the steamship Florida, of the Lloyd Italian Line. With his instrument-room wrecked, Binns stuck to his post, sending out continuously his appeal for succour. Soon it was heard and answered by the sister ship, the Baltic, which arrived hardly more than in time to avert heavy loss of life. In the October of 1907 the Poulsen apparatus on the ss. Lusitania had been instrumental in saving 804 lives when the vessel crowded whith emigrants, ran aground at Skillinge, in the Baltic. The message was picked up at Herr Poulsen's laboratory at Lyngby, near Copenhagen, and in a few hours relief vessels and a salvage boat from the Danish port were alongside. The use of wireless in the recent wreck of the ss. Delhi, and when the Cunard liner the Slavonia, stranded at Flores, in the Azores, is in every one's mind, as well as the rescue, but a week since, of the passengers and crew of the burning Ontario, bound from Baltimore to Boston. Less sensational, but none the less useful, was tho rescue of the disabled C.P.R. liner Montrose in July, 1909. The vessel had collided with an iceberg in a dense fog, and it was wireless brought H.M.S. Brilliant to her aid. Only a few weeks back the Osterley, thirty hours out of Colombo, homeward bound, met a four-masted steamer on fire and abandoned, drifting in the current between the Red Sea and Colombo, and right in tbe "steam lane." In a few hours it had become a partially-submerged derelict, a danger and menace to all who do business in the great waters. Before nightfall the Osterley, in reply to wireless messages, learnt that the crew had been saved by a French ship, and had also informed Lloyd's agent at Bombay, and thus warned the shipping of the world of the danger. At the Lizard, at Malin Head, and at other such points many a gallant ship has found in her wireless installation than of putting to sea without lifeboats. When that day arrives the perils of the great waters will be immeasurably lessened, and the sum of the world's gratitude to he men who discovered and developed the system will, or should be, correspondingly greater. |

WONDERS OF
To say that the country was thunder-struck yesterday at the news of the disaster to the Titanic is to use a mild expresssion. It was indeed hard to believe that the floating palace of luxury which left Harland and Wolff's yard at Belfast less than a year ago, and sailed from Southampton on her maiden voyage only a few days since, was now a battered wreck.THE TITANIC ————.———— A FLOATING PALACE OF LUXURY. ————.———— THE PASSENGERS. ————.———— MANY FAMOUS PEOPLE ON THE STRICKEN VESSEL. ————.———— (From our Own Correspondent.) The Titanic, with her 50,000 tons register, is not only the largest ship yet built, but represente the last word in ocean-going science and luxury. Her apartments include a sumptuous cafe Parisien, an elaborately-fitted restaurant, a gymnasium, Turkish baths, a swimming bath, and a racquet court. Four electrical elevators assist communication between her eight decks. The special feature of her accommodation, providing for 750 first, 550 second, and 1,100 third class passengers, is the unusual number of cabins arranged as suites, with private dining-rooms, sitting-rooms, wardrobe-rooms, and bathrooms. Sixty-nine of these suites are ranged on the two uppermost decks, and for the accommodation of their occupants there are private promenade decks decorated in the half-timbered Elizabethan style. Surmounted by a handsome dome, the main staircase, palatial in its proportions, is fronted by a magnificent tapestry specially woven at Aubuson. The dining-room, enriched by Jacobean carvings after the examples of those at Hatfield and Haddon Hall, is fitted in oak. Accommodation is provided here for 532 persons, and recessed bays for family parties temper the general air of grandeur with a suggestion of homelike privacy. Though unsurpassed as a floating hotel, the Titanic is much more remarkable as an achievement of science. Her total length is 882 feet 9 inches, her breadth 92 1/2 feet, her depth from keel to bridge deck 73 feet, and from the keel to top of the navigation bridge 104 feet. Some idea of her great size may be gathered from the fact that the stern frame casting, weighing 190 tons, is 67 feet high, while her rudder, over 78 feet in length, weighs 104 1/2 tons. Drive by three propellers, the Liner is fitted with quadruple expansion raciprocating engines of 30,000 i.h.p. operating the wing propellers, and a low-pressure turbine, developing 16,000 horses-power driving the central shaft. Steam is supplied from 29 boilers with 159 furnaces, enclosed in six watertight boiler rooms. Immense stores are required for the provisioning of this mighty ship, as may be gathered from the following approximate list for the summer season: Fresh meat .. 75,000 lb. | Minerals ....... 12,000 bottles Fresh eegs ....... 35,000 | Ale and stout .. 15,000 bottles Poultry ....... 25,000 lb. | Potatoes ........ 40 tons | Wines ........... 1.OOO bottles Fresh milk . 1,500 gals. | Chinaware ....... 25,000 pieces Fresh cream . 1,200 qts. | Glass ............ 7,000 pieces Sugar............... 5 tons | Electro-plate ... 26,000 pieces Tea .......... 1,000 lb. | Cutlery ...........5,000 pieces Flour ...... 260 barrels | Plates and dishes 21,000 pieces Cereals ..... 10,000 lb. | |
THE PASSENGERS.
After leaving Southampton on Wednesday the Titanic called at Cherbourg and Queenstown, picking up passengers at each port. Her full complement of Atlantic passengers was as follows:————.———— Over 2,300 Souls on Board the Stricken Vessel. ————.———— First class ........................ 350 Second class ................... 305 Steerage ........................... 800 Crew ................................. 903 ————————————— Total............................... 2,358 At Sonthampton and Queenstown 3,418 sacks of mails were shipped, and the vessel also carries a valuable general cargo. When the vessel struck the iceberg yesterday many famous passengers were among those compelled to take to the boats. Among them were Mr. J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line; Mr. W. T. Stead, the famous journalist, who was on his way to attend a religious convention; Colonel J. J. and Mrs. Astor, who were returning from a trip to the Far East; Mr. C. M. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada; the Countess of Rothes, who was on her way to join Lord Rothes, who has bought a fruit farm in Canada; Major Archibald W. Butt, the special envoy from President Taft to the Pope; Mr. G. D. Widener, son of Mr. P. B.
