; Havre, France, Oct 14.- With 4i sur

Of, the 12, 10 were fatherless and
motherless bablea less than a year old.

passengers on ha. Touraine had trans
formed the first cabin into a nursery
for the little ones. It was believed all
would be adopted immediately,, several
by passengers orf the French Jiner.
' La Touraine got mere than Its'share
of the very young? among; the Volturno'a
survivors. V The first lifeboat It sent to
. the burning; . vessel brought back .seven
Infants. Six; tot them were crying, but
one, a boy, naked except for su blanket
in which one of the sailors hadwrapped
him, was sleeping peacefully, - tV ,v ',V

"The Volturno had only nine lifeboats,
so far as, I could see," said Frederick
Hadke, a German soldier, Hwho, ' wa
among; the passengers on La' Touraine,
j "ana they .were old and rotten. ' They
broke like csrgshells whon thy struck
the sides of the rolling steamship. They
were useless.
, "One boat I saw lowered had a hole In
its bottom. It sank immediately and all
of its occupants were drowned,
"It was reported that two boats got
away, but I didn't see them. I did see
. four; smashed. They were all lowered
with difficulty for their ' tackle was
tana-led. .The Volturno'a crew: seemed
to know little about handling thera.".
"La Touraine ran close enough to. tb
Volturno .for 'us to see the fear, dis
torted faces of the women and children
on the burning; boars after idee, said
A. J. Norton... .Denver arcnuecv.wna
was also a passenger on La Touraine.
; rrencH Bailor Heroin. , '.,
"Captain Caussin of our liner ordered
the boats lowered at once and aunougn
the sea was so rough that they could
not get close to the Volturno Thursday
night, the French sailors Insisted on
remaining in them until daylight at
the risk of their lives. They did not
. reach the Uranium ship until dawn but
I believe our boats, were the first which
did reach It.
: "I have been told that soma of the
. Volturno'a cabin passengers insisted on
being rescued ahead of those in the
steerage and ' fought the latter back
when Captain Inch ordered the boats
lowered. If so, they paid for it with
their lives,' for all who got aboard the
Volturno'a boats were" drowned, while
those who waited were saved.".' ,

I R. Magowsky, a sailor f rom the Vol'
. turno, who was among the survivors
; brought in by La Touraine, bitterly re
; sented the stories , of the crew's. cow-
; ardfee. :,- ,--'..,. ' --v,.l'J.'s;-.
"There was tbo panicjP ha asserted.

' body fought the fire, we stayed below
as long as anyone could.

came' racing along the deck, yelling,

one had of . 1L The flames spread eo

"The fact that the women and Chil
dren were tha last to be saved does not
; prove that the crew or the .men pas

: is that many, of the nlen took the risk

the inheritance tax law, property deeded

January 17, 1913, he died and five day

The other deed was made out by William-
Sheeny April J, 1909, granting. a
