THE new Wlilto Star Uncr Titan tic, which was recently In col lision with nn Iceberg on her maiden trip from Southamp ton to New York, la descrlbod by her owners as follows Tho Titanic and her sister ship, tho Olympic, are tho largest ships alloat, being 100 feet longer .than their next rival. These sea monsters arc at the same time floating mansions of lux ury, each capablo of holding a town ful of people. They nn feet long, 02 feet In the beam and 04 feet In depth, with 45,000 ton3 register and 00,000 tons displacement "With officers and crew numbering SCO, the Titanic Is capable of carrying 3,000 to 3,500 passengers cabin and steerage. Sffo was built to be tho last word in size, speed, power and sea lux ury, and It would take a powerful imagination to conceive the magulll cence and detail for comfort and lux ury nnd pastime on the great ship. Its interior more closely resembles a huge hotel, with heavy balustraded wide stairways and elevators running up and down for nlno stories; Us great sa loons and restaurants; its minlaturo theater, squash and tennis courts, swimming pools and Turkish bath rooms; its great smoking room, card rooms and beautiful music rooms, and even on the top of its twelve decks a miniature golf links. Private Promenades. Two private suits with their own private promenades, wherein passen gers can live as luxuriously at sea as In their own homes, Illustrate some of the novelties. Theje suits are only de signed for one or two persons, with accommodations for their servants, and tho price asked for them for a Blnglo trip voyage Is $4,350. Without tho porch Blngle suits like theso are sold for $2,300. The Titanic was launched nt Belfast last May that Is to say, her huge hulk was launched, but that only half com pleted the work of construction, to say nothing of tho mammoth task of dec oration. The Titanic has nine decks of sol idly constructed steel. The hull Is di vided into thirty water tight compart ments, the doors of which can be si multaneously closed by the operation of a lever from the bridge. She Is of the triple screw type. Tho two wing screws are driven by reciprocating en gines, tho central one by turbines. Her speed is twenty-one knots an hour. Some Idea of the Immensity of the work involved In tho construction of such a leviathan as tho Titanic may be gained by a few statistics. Tho weight of the 500,000 rivets in the ship's dou- bio bottom alone is 270 tons. The heaviest plate weighs 4 tons and Is 80 feet long. The rudder weighs 100 tons. The largest beam used weighs 4 tons and measures 02 feet Near a Mishap at Southampton. Captain Smith, her commander, tho admiral of the White Star fleet, was In command of her sister ship, the Olym pic, when she made her maiden voy age to New York and also when she collided with the British cruiser Hawke In the Solent last September. A disaster was narrowly averted the day the Titanic sailed from Southamp ton. It wob similar to that which bo fell her sister ship, tho Olympic. Cap- I. O. O. F. Lodge Meets every Saturday night. Strangers are wel come. Charles Ortman, N. G, Lewis H. Irving, Secretary tain K. J. Smith was commandor of the Olympic nt that time, and ho was In chnrgo of tho Titanic. Tho Titanic, with about 1,300 passen gers aboard, 350 of whom wore in tho first cabin, was leaving her pier when thoro was a sound as of a mountain battery being discharged. There was a rush of passengers to tho port rail to see what tho trouble was. it then developed that as she passed out Into tho stream tho 43.000 ton steamship had sucked tho water bo tweeu herself nnd tho quay to so great an extent that tho seven hugo hawsers with which the American liner Now York was moored to tho pier had been snapped like threads. The Olympic's Mishap. Tho New York began drifting help lessly, stern llrst, toward tho Titanic, which seemed to act llko a magnet Slowly the New York boro down on tho Titanic, which reversed her en gines. In a few minutes her headway wna stnnnMl and sho began to movo slowly astern. Tho tugs Neptuno nnd Vulcan sped to the helpless American liner, caught her with hawsers, bow and stern, and towed her back to her berth. Tho tugs' timely arrival and quick work probably prevented a bad smash between the two liners. Captain Smith was on tho bridge of the Olympic on Sept 20 last as sho rcna outcolncr In Cowes roads. Tho British cruiser Hawke. which was passing tho Unr to starboard, was sud denly drawn In. ns If by an undercur rent caused by the giant's propellers, and crashed into the steamship's quar ter about twenty feet from the stern It required almost three months to re- nalr tho Olympic. Captain Smith has been In tho Wlilto Star's service for more than thirty years. Ills first important command was the Majestic in 1802. Every largo ship of the line has been commanded by him since then, being put in charge of each one as soon ns sho was put in commission.
