The wife and iai!?htcr of Kmll Taussig, of this city, were taken to the home of Mrs. Taus sig's father. William Mandalls. Both were suffering from exposure and rief. They said that Mr. Taussig and Hen ry B. Harris, the theatrical manager, who with hia wife rushed with them to the !eck when the collision was felt, were threatened with revolvers when they attempted to get Into a lifeboat, lthough there was plenty of room for them. Mrs. Taussig said that the boat Into which she. her daughter. Ruth, and Mrs. Harris were placed, pulled away from the Titanlr with several seat tpares empty, and that she considered her husband and the theatrical man were sacrificed needlessly. Wae farewells. The last Mrs. Taussig saw of her husband and Harris was a few mo ments before the liner plunged out of sight. The men. she said, stood stdo by stde. now embracing each other and now waving their hands in farewell to tlieir families. Mrs. Taussig said she heard several pistol shots and that there were three distinct explosions, one following close upon the other, before the Titanic dis appeared. What the firing meant she einl not learn. Mrs. Fortune, of Winnipeg, told how she and her three daughters, iMicille. Maba and Alice, were rescued after be ing separated from her husband and son Charles. They were put In a boat with a Chinaman, an Italian stoker and a man dressed In woman's clothing. Of the men occupants, she said, only one. the stoker, could row. and Mrs. For tune's daughters took turns at the oars, laager- Net Realised. When the collision occurred Mrs. Fortune and her daughters hurriedly dressed. They were Joined by Mr. Fortune and Charles Fortune, but at the stairway to the bow Mrs. Fortnne said her husband and son were slopped ty officers. The women were Instructed t get Into the boats. They did not reallxe that the ship was in danger and did not even aay giodbye to the men aa they parted. One of the girls, however, called back to Charles: "Look after father." which was the only message which passed between them. Bwal la OvermwdedL Mrs. fortune saM the boat waa "ter ribly overcrowded." four members of the crew were transferred to another boat as soon as the craft struck the t water and there waa consternation among the passengers, mostly women, , as this left only one member of the crew to navigate the lifeboat. The stoker. Mrs. Fortune said, knew how to handle an oar tolerably well, but the Chinaman waa of little use. The man dreeeed In woman'e clothes did lila beat but did not aeem familiar with an oar. This man wore a woman's bonnet and veil In addition to a skirt and blouse. Mrs. Fortune Is of the opinion that no discrimination was made between the passengers, of the first, second or third class in making the allotments for seal In the boata. That rule ap plied only to women, however. Waaua Sees Klred. When the ship struck she said, sev eral men In the steerage tried to rush the officers In charge of the lifeboats. She raw one man shot In the arm and this intimidated the others In the ateerage.

Hogg, able aeaman. told tonight of the fate of Captain Smith. Hogg says that as the Titanic sank a big wave washed over the side and he landed on a raft car rying 25 persona. The next moment I saw Captain Smith In the water alongside the raft. There's the aklpper.' I yelled. "Give htm a hand. and then I did. But he shook himself free and shouted to us: Uood-by. boys, I am going to follow the ship.' That was the last we saw of the skipper." Hogg said that later they were transferred to a lifeboat. In which there waa a woman stark naked. She was numb with the cold and some of the men took off their clothes and wrapped her up In them, but she died soon after. Sidney Humphrey, the quartermaster, said he dragged two women out of the water, one of them a raving maniac, who died before the Carpathla picked up the lifeboats. Electric Line) Rnmorrd.
