MANY DIE NEEDLESSLY
Henry n. Ifarrl Kept Out of float
With Vacant Scf.
NEW YORK. April 1. 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.
At the American Seamen's Friend So
ciety Institute, where 1J0 members' of
the rescued crew of the Titanic are be
ing fed. clothed and housed. U. A. 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.

New York Clionon Instead of Halifax
Because of Passengers' Hysteria.
Wireless Operator' Legs

NEW YORK. April 19. tsfl than 24
hours after the Cunard line steamer
Carpathla came In as a rescue ship with
745 survivors of the Titanic disaster.
she sailed this afternoon for the Medi

started on last week.
Just before the liner sailed, H. S.
Bride, the second wireless operator of
the Titanic, who had both of his legs
crushed In a lifeboat, waa carried off on
the shoulders of the ship's officers to
St. Vincent's Hospital.
Captnin Rostron. of the Carpathla,
addrersed an official note to the com
pany, giving his account of the saving
of the passengers of the Titanic.
Matt Clear, Though Dark.
The report said that Captain Rostron
first was apprised of the plight of the
Titanic at 12:15 A. M. Monday, and that
he immediately ordered the Carpathla
headed for the scene of the disaster, a
distance of 58 miles. At 2:40 A. M. a
flare was seen, snd It was taken to In
dicate the position of the Titanic. The
report raid that the Carpathla passed
throurh a big field of Icebergs and sev
eral times had to alter her course to
avoid ice. The weather was described
as fine and clear, though dark. Con
tinuing, the report says:
"We stopped at 4 A- M.. thus doing
the distance In three and half hours,
picking up lifeboat at 4:10 A. M. Boat
In charge of offtrer, and he reported
that Titanic had foundered. At 8:30
last Doat pii'Keo. up. ah survivors

boat abandoned, two Berthon boats
alongside (saw one floating upward
among wreckage, and. accord lrn? to se
cond officer, senior officer saved, one
Berthct; boat had not been launched;
it havfng got Jammed) making 16 life
boats and four Berthon boats account
ed for.
lew Clear for Fonr Miles.
"Rr the time we had cleared first
boat it was breaking day, and I could
see alt within an area of four miles.
We alto saw that we were surrounded
by iretergs."
The report said that at 8 A. M. 'the
Ijcyland liner Californian arrived and
that her master was told of the trag
edy and asked to search for possible
survivors. The Carpathla taen took
aboard 13 of the Titanlc's lifeboats. Tho
report continued:
"Before deciding definitely where to
make for I conferred with Mr. Ismay
and he told me to do what I thought
best. I Informed him. taking every
thing Into consideration. I considered
New York best. I also thought It would
be better for Mr. Ismay to go to New
York or England as soon as possible,
and knowing I should be out of wire
less communication very Foon if I pro
ceeded to Azores, It left Halifax, Boston
and New York, so I chose the latter.
Wlrrlesa Service Poor.
"Again, passengers were hysterical
about ice, and I pointed out to Ismay
the possibility of seeing Ice If I went
to Halifax. Then I knew from the
gravity of the disaster that It would
be best to keep in touch with land
stations ss best I could. We hsve ex
perienced very great difficulty in
transmitting news, also names of sur
vivors Our wireless Is very poor, and
again we have had so many interrup
tions from other ships and also mes
sages from shore (principally press,
which we Ignored.) I gave Instructions
to send first all official messages, then
names of passengers, then survivors'
private messages.
"I am pleased to say that all sur
vivors hsve been very plucky. Tues
day our doctor reported all survivors
physically well. Our first-class pas
sengers have behaved sp'endldly, giv
ing us their cabins voluntarily and sup
plying the women with clothing, etc.
"We all turned out of our cabins and
gave them to survivors, saloon, smok
ing room, library, etc.. also being used
for sleeping accommodations. Our crew
also turned out to let the crew of the
Titanic take their quarters.
"I beg specially to mention now will
ing and cheerful the whole of the ship's
company behaved, receiving the high
est praise from everybody. And I can
assure you I am very proud to have
such a company under my command."
