BY W. W. & W. R. BRADLEY. ABBEVILLE, 8. C., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1912. ESTABLISHED TITANIC'S STORY NOT FULLY TOLD, Much Yet to be Revealed of Li ner's Fate? Some Disposi tion to Find Fault With Handling of Small l Boats After Accident New York, April 20.?Nearly a week lias passed since ?the Titanic, the greatest of marine construction achievements, sank in mid-ocean. Much of her story is still untold. The number of .survtvors is fixed at 705 by the report of Captain Rostron of the (Jarpathia. The "White Star Lino officials believelthe death list totalled approxi mately 1,035. - | The narratives of the 705 survivors pay a tribnte without precedent to the cour age of the men and women of these mod ern days, a bravery of impulse, unstudied, unassuming and instinctive alike In a steerage passenger, stoker and million- 1 aire. Ample provision for the needy survivors is rapidly being made. The relief funds being gathered in New York and London already total well up in the hundred^of , thousands. Most of the steerage passen gers who reached New York distraught and penniless, have already come to realize the generosity and hospitality of America, i Clad, fed and housed, they will be given ample time to recover from the shock of ' their experience and will start their life in the ..new world with ample funds. The most complete story of the Titanic's fate yet obtained is being gathered by the members of the senate investigating com mittee. faith is SHIP. The burden of the testimony thus far given emphasizes the unquestioned faith of the Titanic's officers In her unsinkable character, the recklessness of steaming full speed through a sea where dangerous Icebergs were known to threaten and the ' remarkable calmness with which doomed j passengers and crew faced their last mo- < ments. / i The Titanic's fate has inspired prompt action by the transatlantic lines to insure liners hereafter taking a course far to the south, away from the iceberg j danger. There is little disposition to criticise Cant. Smith for having followed 1 the ocean lane In which he met disaster. He showed unusual caution, according to the naval fchydrographers, in steering a course well to the south of the regular southern lane. The new route eastbound pipvides that steamships shall dip to Ip'itude 38.20 on the first third of their couisje, making- a total distance from New York to Fastnel! j of 3,000 miles, where the distance is now reckoned as 2,858 miles. Liners will thus be carried 270 miles below the route here tofore followed. The loss of time on the 1 new course will be about nine hours for a 24-knot boat. There was some criticism among the ! survivors here today of the Titanic crew's inability to handle the life boats. "The crew of the Titanic was a new one, of course," declares Mrs. George N. Stone of Cincinnati, "and had|never been through a life boat drill, or any training in the rudiments of launching, manning and equipping the boats. SCORES WERE LOST. Scores of lives were thus ruthlessiy was ted, a sacrifice to inefficiency. Had there been any sea runningjinstead of the glassy calK that prevailed, not single a passenger would have safely reached the surface of the water. The men did not know how to lower the boats; the boats were not pro visioned; many of the sailors could not handle an oar with reasonable skill." Albert Major, steward on the Titanic, admitted that there had been no boat drills and that the life boats were poorly handled. s Another story told by members of the Titanic's crew which did not have a bear Ing on the story of the rapid sinking of the ship, is of a lire which is said to have started in one of the coal bunkers of the vessel soon after she left Southampton and which was not extinguished until Saturday afternoon. The story as told by a fireman: "It has-been necessary to take the coal out of sections 2 and 3 on the starboard side forward and when the water came rushing in after the collision with the ice the bulkheads would not hold beeause they did not have the supporting weight of the coal. Somebody reported to Chief Engi neer Bell that the forward bulkhead had given away and the engineer.replied: "My God! We are lost.' REMAINED AT PUMPS. ' The engineers stayed by the pumps and went down with the ship. The fire men and stokers were sent on deck five minutes before the Titanic sank, when it was seen that they Svould inevitably be lost if they stayed longer at their work of trying to keep the fires in the boilers and the pumps at work. The lights burned to the last, because the dynamos were run by oil engines." Second Officer Lightholder says that the Titanic did not break in two, but made hei dive diagonally into the sea and that when half way under under the waves there were two explosions which he be lieved to be the boilers. Happy were the members of the Titan iiVs surviving crew as they prepared to depart this morhing on the Lapland. Gen erous .merchants and others had fitted them out with clothes, hats, brushes and razors and numerous other things for their use, together with sums of money for their immediate needs. Other sums of money will be sent later by the relief com mit ees. Vincent Astor, son of Col. John Jacob Astor, who lost his life in the Titanic dis aster, sent to Mayor ,Gaynor today a con tribution of $10,000 for the destitute sur vivors of the ill-fated Titanic. EAST END.

Yes, she has 1 jone down, and that too on her mad- j :n trip, biit her loss in comparison x vith the 1595 immortal souls is noth ng.

New York, April 20.?Three warnings that an iceberg was ahead were transmit ted from the crow's nest of the Titanic to the officer on the doomed steamship bridge 15 minutes before she struck, according to Thomas Whitley, a first saloon steward, who now lies at St. Vincent's hospital with frozen and lacerated feet. Whitley slipped overboard from the 6hip while helping to lower a lifeboat, that conte'ned, he said, both the crow's nest lookouts. He heard a conversation between them, in which they discussed the warning given to the Titunic's bridge officer of the presence.of the iceberg. f Whitley did not know either of the look out men's names and believes thoy have returned to England with the majority of the surviving members of the crew. "I heard one of them say that at 11:15 o'clock, 15 minutes before the Titanic struck, he had reported to First Officer Murdock, on the bridge, that he fancied he saw an iceburg," said Whitley. "Twice af ter that, the lookout said, he warned Mr. Murdock that a berg was ahead. I can not remember their exact words, but they were very indignant that no attention was paid to their warnings. One of them said: 'No wonder that Mr. Murdock shot him self!" Notice.
