this can be accounted for by the ex

Mr. Jaaaea R. Watt.
He Waa about ISO feet from the ahlp,
awlmmlng amid 'the Ice on hla back,
with hla face turned toward the ahlp.
He saw her bow alnk and then rise up
Into the air. Then came a boiler ex
plosion. The ship buckled amldahlps.
He said there waa not enough auc
tion to draw him back, but a wave
came and pitched him forward and
away from the wreck.

"I waa walking on th deck," he
aald. "and It waa a fine, cold, clear
night. The moon was ahlning and
aeveral' of ua. enjoying the criap, keen
air, were promenading about the deck.
Captain Smith was on the bridge.
Then the Arst cry from the lookout
came to him that there waa an Iceberg
ahead. It may have been 300 feet high
when I us It. It waa probably J00
yard away from ua. dead ahead. Cap
tain Smith ahouted aome ordera. What
they were I could not -underatand and
have not alnce learned, but aome of
the promenadera ruahed to the bow of
the ahlp. When we saw It -ould not
fail to hit .it. we all - rushed to the
atern. 'Then came the 'crash, and the
paasengera were panic-stricken for a
time. But Captain Smith and hia of
Acars reaasired everybody and Insisted
there waa no danger If the passengers
would keep their heada.'
Fvlghtewed Owe tteaared.
"Several had gone to bed at thia
time and at th crash . they rushed
affrighted ta.- the bridge. Captain
Smith and hia nfflcera assured all. We
stood around huddled In groups after
w had ben pacified and reassured,
telling on another that certainly there
could be no danger: that the Titanic
aimply oould not alnk.
"The accident happened at about
10:10. Within half an hour the wire
lesa was calling for help and at about
midnight. I think, there came the first
boiler explosion. Then for the flrat
tim. I think. Captain Smith began to
be worried. A few mlnutea later a
aeeond boiler explosion occurred and
then Captain Smith ordered the crew
to man tha boats.

"Among th flrat cabin paaaengera
llttl or no confusion prevailed. The
flrt and aeeond offlcera. with re
volver. atood by the laddara to the
boata. , Th ordera ware, women first,
Th captain had paced up and down
the deck enforcing and continually reit
erating the command, 'women flrat.'
The procedure into the boata waa or
derly. I underatand that among the
steerage paaaengera a panic broke out
and that th ship officers had to
shoot three men who tried to force their
way into the boats.
No trouble at all of thia kind broke
out among tha first cabin passengers.
Occasionally an officer had to drive a
man away from the boat, but no shoot
ing was done."
At thla point William B. Harris. Jr.
a brother of Henry B. Harrla, the the
atrical man. who went down In tha
Titanic, interrupted and aaked . how
Henry B. Harrla had behaved.
"The flrat officer drove him back
from hla wif at the point of a gun,"
replied Mr. Brayton. .
Pinmfr Jem l I gaved.
Continuing. Mr. Brayton aaid: 'Th
email boats were' all filled, when tha
ship gave a heavy lurch. She rolled to
the rt;ht and then to the left, aa If she
were abggy. I don't know why I
Jumped at thia point, but I did. wtth
mr heavy ulster still on. Then I began
to swim away from the boat, aa I feared
that if the boat went down it would
auck nia under. My coat helped to keep
me up. although It retarded my swim
ming, and I waa about ISO feet away
when she sank. I was' In the water
probably 2" mlnutea when I. wax picked
up by a small boat.
"The boat I was In was In command
of the third officer. Tt had a crew of
sailor and carried about 50 " passen
gers. Thirty-five of them were women."
At thia point Mr. Brayton was asked
how Colonel Aator. Benjamin Guggen
heim and Major Butt had carried them
aelvea. "Colonel Astor waa the only one of
these whom 1 noticed." aald Mr. BrayV
ton. "and he behaved very well. I
think that he Jumped right after I did.
but am not certain. I saw Mrs. Astor
get Into a smajl boat. Before thla the
Colonel had been supporting her In the
crowd. He let her go after a showing
of coolness, as if he were not afraid at
all for hlmaelf. and did not wish Mra.
Astor to have feara for him.
Was Ssjffer Terribly.
"After I was picked up by the email
boat It was two hours before we sight

hour more before we were taken on

But many whoae spirits were faintlftg

that the tongues of many were loos
ened to speak of the conditions of ag
ony and fear that fell over the Titanic-
peaceful company after It became
swiftly known that the ship must go
down. Some told haltingly. with
dread still In their eyes, of men who
strove and struggled against women
for the lifeboats and of ofTlcers shoot
ing them down. One women saw an
officer shoot two men, ahe aaid. and
other passengers recalled how officers
had' stood with drawn pistols while
the women and children were being
guided Into the boats.
No one seemed to know of the exact
fate or the Tltanlc's captain. E. J.
Smith. There waa a atory that he had
committed aulcide, but tha Carpathia
passengers did not know that was
true. Many of them had heard shots

passengers.
Crew Mlii Praise.
For the Tltanic's officers and crew
th rescued seemed to have nothing
bu,t praise. These men, acted clamly
and coolly In tha face of certain foun
dering, was the 'report brought here
laat night by the reacued.
The unhappy company so marvelousTy
torn from the grip of the sea was re
ceived solemnly and with remarkable
quiet by the enormous crowd which
gathered near the Cunard pier. There
was no cheering, no upraising of voices
In salute for tha living, for the thought
of the dead waa in the minds of. all
onlookers. Th depression of death
waa oppresalve on the splrita of wait
ing men and women. Those who found
their gladdest hopea realised and
looked through the crowd to make out
th well-known face of husband and
father and slstera and wives could not
conceal their tremendous elation, their
thankfulness, that all -suspense and
disheartening conjecture waa over. But
they greeted their rescued onea quietly,
for the most part with a thought ever
present for the overburdened hearts of
the many who had been bereaved.
Crowd Held la Check at Pier.
So cleanly Vera the police and other
arrangements at the pier that ther was
no aurging of the crowds, no hustling
and backing of the Titanic'a aurvlvors.
The crowds were held back two blocks
from the pier on the north, east and
aouth. Everything was done to - ex
pedite the paaaage of the rescued ones
and make their transference from the
pier to home or hotels aa easy and
comfortable aa possible. ' - .

MBM NOT ANXIOUS TO GO
Widowed Woman Still Clings to
Hope That Husband TJve Phy- :
I slcian rrbtdsv Her to Talk i
.More to Anyone.
NEW YORK. April IS. While utter
ly exhausted from her experiences.
Sirs. John Jacob Astor was declared
tonight by Njcholas Biddle. a trustee of
tho Astor estate, to be in no danger
whatever. Hr physicians, however,
had given ordera that neither Mrs.
Astor nor her maid, who was saved
with her. be permitted to talk about
the disaster.
On landing from the Carpathia the
young bride, widowed by the Titanic'a
atnking. told members of her family
what she could recall of the circum
stances of the disaster. Of how Colonel
Astor met his death she had no definite
conception. ' . '
She recalled, she, thought, that in the
confusion as she was about to bo put
into one of the boats. Colonel Astor was
standing by. her side. After that, as
Mr. Biddle recounted her narrative. , she
had no vory clear recollection of the
happenings until the boats were well
clear of tho sinking steamer.
Mra. Aator. It appears, left In one of
the last boata which got away from the
hip. It was her belief 'that all the
women who wished to go had then
been -tsken off. Her impression was
that the boat she left in had room for
at least 15 more persons. The men. for
some reason, aa she recalled it tonight,
did not seem to be at all anxious to
leave the ship. Almost everyone
Seemed dared.
"I hope he is alive somewhere. Tes,
I cannot- think anything else.-- the
voung woman said of her husband, to
her father, as she left the latter to go
to the Astor home: according to some
who overheard her parting remarks.
The chief steerage steward of the
Titanic, who came in on the Carpathia,
says he say John Jacob Astor standing
by the life . ladder as the passengers
were being embarked. His wife was
beside him, the steward said. The
Colonel left her to go to the pursers
office for a moment and that was the
last seen of him.
