"Carpathls reached the Titanic po?
sition at daybreak. Pound boats ami
wreckage* only. Titanic .-auk about
1.10 a. m. in 41.18, north; 50.14,
west, aii her boats accounted for
contained about t?75 .souls saved,
crew and passengers included. Nearly
all saved women and Children. Ley
land Liner C'alifornlan remained and
s.archlng for exact position of disas?
ter. Loss likely to tatal 1,800 souls."
It is believed hwre that this is an
error, unless the Titanic had more
passengers on board than reported.
The list as given out showed 1,310
passengers and a crew of 860, or 2,170
in all. Deducting BOO, the known
saved, would indicate a loss of 1,304
persons.
While the fate of the majority of
2.100 persons on board the mammoth
White Star line Titanic, which sank
early yesterday on the Newfoundland
I?; nks, after a collision with an ice?
berg, still remains in doubt and it is
feared mors than 1.200 persons were
lost, a note of good cheer came from
the ocean waves by wireless between
1 and 2 o'clock this morning.
It was in the shape of a wireless
message from the White Star liner
Olympic, one of the vessels hovering
near the scene of the disaster, flash?
ing the m ws that 104 of the Titanic's
passengers, mostly women and chil?
dren, were being brought to port by
the Cunarder Carpathla. Other mes?
sages later brought confirmatory tid?
ings.
First reports were that the t'arpa
thla had saved ?i7persons. The
m w figures reduced the list of those
for whose fate fear was ftit by nearly
100, and if. ei seems possible) practi?
cally all those saved were pass, ngers,
it would appear that all but approxi?
mately ISO of the vessel's passengers
ire accounted for, A partial list of
the survivors received from the Car*
patthia included the names of many
women of prominence who were on
the steamer.
Ait if tin first desperate calls of
ihs Titanic for help bad been sent
Using through space and brought
Btaantefl from hundreds of RltlSI
around speeding to the seene, what
seems to have bsen an impenetrable
wall of silence was raised between
hers ;iml the anxious world. The
giant liner, so far as last night's ad?
vices appear,* went to her fate without
so much as a whisper of what must
have been the scenes of the Jterrible
tragedy enacted on her decks.
In the lack of even a line from a
survivor, imagination pauses before
even trying to conjecture what passed
as the L'.aoo human lives, with which
?hf was freighted, realized there could
l>e hope of saving, as it appears, far
less than a half.
Other than the news last evening
that 106 persons, mostly women and
children, had been rescued from the
liner's boats by the Cunarder Carpa?
thla, BO> iral hours passed without a
Word as to the fate of the remainder
of those on hoard at the time of the
fateful crash. Along the entire Atlan?
tic coasl Wir el >SS instruments were
turned to catch from any source the
Slightest whisper of hope that possibly
might come from one of the many
steamships which rushed to the assist
ance ol the stricken Titan of the seas.
Bui from none of the ships reported
to he near tie- seene ol what, viewed
in the light of possibilities, may he
recorded as the world's greatest ma?
rine horror, came the slightest syll?
able of encouragement to the anxious?
ly wait i ng world.
Fatly laal nlghl there was hope
that any moment m. . bring word
of cheer. Bui anxiety deepened ami
many friends ami relatives of those
who sailed on the Titanic began to
despair as the hours passed and the
nlghl grew old without word from
either of the Ali.in Liners, Parisian or
Virginian, believed to i.e. with the ex
eeptlon of tin Carpathla. the vessels
nearest the Titanic's ocean burial
plate when she made her plunge.
As the Titanic sank before '?'< o'clock
in the morning ami it was not hoped
the Virginian could roach the scene
before la A. M.i at th. e irllest, w bile
.the Parisian was said to I.me dis?
tale e further away, it was fear? tl i v? n
I." the White star officials .try inn their
hesl to t. Iculnte differently, yel ac
curately, that they would not hive
it a. bed the aeene in time to i.f
J Se|-V ice.
The steamer Virginian was finally
i
heard from at 2.18 o'clock this morn?
ing, she lid not report the presence
of any survivors on board, the mes?
sage from lor slating that would
bring lo s?. John's n*. r.. such survi?
vors as may be rescued The tu t
that the Virginian \sas to ^o out oj
her courae t<? put Into St. John's on
her voyage to Liverpool was taken as
a favorable Indication, arousing hope
that after all ahe might have picke?!
up some ut the victims of the wredk
ami was bringing them Into port.
More than 1,600 persona, it Is fear?
ed, sank to death early yesterday,
when within four hours after she
crashed Into an iceberg, the mam?
moth While star Lino steamer Titan?
ic, bound from Liverpool to New
York, on h? r maiden voyage, went to
tin bottom off tin- New Foundland
i
Banks. Of the approximately 2,20U
persona <>n board tii ? giant Bteamer,
some of world-wide prominence, only
?>7f> are known to have been saved. I
Tin- White star Lim- officer* in New
York, while keeping up hop*- to the
hast, wore free to admit the e hail
been "horrible loss of life."
Accepting the early estimates of th.>
fatality list as accurate, the disaster
is the greatest in the marine history
of the world. Nearest approaching it
in magnitude were the disasters to
the steamer Atlantic, in is?::, when
">7 1 lives were lost, and to La Bour
goyne In 1898, with a fatality list <>f
571.
Should it prove that other liners,
notably the Allan Liners Parisian and
Virginia, Known to have been in the
Vicinity ?'f the Titanic early, yester?
day, had picked up other of her pas?
sengers, the extent of the calamity
would be greatly reduced. This hope
still remains.
News uf the sinking of the liner,
and the terrible loss of life in con
sequence came early last evening with
all the greater shock because hope
had been buoyed up all day by re?
ports that the steamship, although
badly damaged, was not in a linking
condition and that all her passenger!
had been safely taken off. The mes?
sages were mostly unofficial and pone
came direct from the lln r. so thai
a lurking fear remained of possible
bad new s to come.
Shortly after 7 o'clock last night
there came flashing over the wires,
I from Cape Flace, w ithin ?!<?" miles of
where the lined had struck tin Ice?
berg, word that at o'elock Mon?
day; morning, three hours and lifty
live minutes after receiving her death
blow, the titanic had stud*;. The newi
came from the steamer Carpathia, re?
layed b\ the White Star Liner Olym?
pic, and revealed that by the time
the Carpatl>ls . outward bound front
New York and racing for the Titanic
on ii. wireless call, reached the scent
the doomed vessel had sunk.
Left on the surface, however, were
lifeboats frdm the Titanic and in
them, as appeared from the meagre
reports received up to a late lu>ur,
were some ?',7." survivors of the dis?
aster. Acording to the advices the
Carpathia picked them up and now is
on her way with them for New York.
