First Story of Wreck
Told By Passenger
-From Thursday Night's Extra EditiOnS-
New York. April IS. (Flash.)
The Carpathia tied to dock and the
first passenger stepped ashore at
9:35 p. m. A big detachment of doc
tors arrived. Only members of the
crew were on deck. Absolutely no
sound came from the steamer.
As the liner warped into berth,
the wildest reports ran back and forth
among the great crowd.
One was that Major Butt had shot
down eight men who, frenzied by the
approach of death, tried to push wo
men off and children aside, them
selves getting In the lifeboats. This
is not confirmed.
New York, April 18. It was plain
from appearances that survivors had
lost all their clothing and had been
fitted out by the Carpathias' passen
gers. The clothes did not fit. Many
women wore sweaters.
New York. (Bulletin.) Two wo
men, apparently violently insane, were
carried from the steamer while scores
of women were in a state of coma and
plainly mentally unsettled. Dr.
Henry W. Frauenthal and wife, pre
viously reported lost, were saved.
As soon as the passengers began to
come off the liner, officials at the pier
planned to line them up in alphabeti
cal order to facilitate identification by
relatives and friends.
New York, April 18. C. H. Stengel,!
one of the first passengers off the
vessel said the collision of the Titanic
with an iceberg was the result of
"criminal, carelessness." The ship
was going "2 knots an hour when she
struck."
He said the impact was so terrific
that great blocks of ice were thrown
on the deck and a number killed
when these blocks slid across the
decks.
The stern rose in the air and peo
pie ran shrieking from below.
Women and children imediately
rushed for the life boats and as fast
as possible and the boats lowered
Into the sea.
Sailors took the women and hurl
ed them bodily into the boats, tear
ing them away from their husbands
to whom they were clinging.
Stengel did not confirm the report
that men were shot down because
they tried to push women and chil
dren away from the. boats.
After 8tcngel, several wom--n fol
lowed and went into a freight ele
vator and were lowered to the street
level. People on the dock surged

made fast and the police were forced
to fight them back.. '
Most of the passengers were plain
ly hysterical.
Stengel was so far aft he could not
toll, one woman told him she heard
seamen threaten to shoot men who
tried to enter boats. Stengel said
1300 men leaped into the sea when
they saw no chance on the boats.
Passengers say both 'Major Butt
and Astor are lost.
Stengel said: "How they died I
don't know. I caught a life boat
gunwhale after I had jumped into
the ocean and was dragged on board.
Women told me they heard two
shots fired."
E. A. Taylor, a Philadelphia sur
vivor said J. Bruce Ismay jumped
into the third life boat launched. He
gave hi sseat to a woman with a baby
and then jumped Into the next boat
launched saying he was going to
man and have charge of that boat
An unverified rumor is afloat that
Mrs. John Jacob Astor gave prema
ture birth to a child just as the Car
pathia reached dock.
Later Mrs. Astor Is alive.
"Col. John Jacob Astor kissed his
bride goodbye as he placed her in a
life boat and then drew himself up
to 'attention.' As. he stood on the
first cabin deck. He was in that po
sition as the life boat drew away,'
was the statement of C. H. Stengel.
Mrs. Andrews, of Hudson, New
York, said:
"Mrs. Astor is not dead. She is
alive. Many of our women are in
sane.
Mrs. Andrews wore only a night
dress. She said the agony for six
hours at sea in a small boat, not
knowine if thev would be saved, was
beyond the power of description.
Miss Caroline Bonnell, of Youngs
town, Ohio, said:
"The steamer was booming alon
at her usual speed when she was
wrecked.
"Shortly before midnight Sunday
the Titanic -was plowing through ice
fields. A large proportion of th
passengers were asleep. As near as
I can tell it was about 11:30 o'clock
when the bottom of her bow drove
Ir.to the large iceberg.
"Many lower plates of the hull
were torn asunder. The water im
mediately rushed in and the boat
sank by the bow.
"Many passengers were not aware
of the collision, as the boat seemed
to slip across the top of the berg.
"Alarms were immediately given.
The passengers seized whatever
clothes were nearest. The boats were
made ready. I heard there was some
shooting among the first class pas
sengers, but there was no verifica
tion. "As the steamer continued to lower
into the water, the passengers march
ed toward the stern. It was found
that not enough life boats were on
hand to save all.
"The band played 'Nearer My God
to Thee,' as the boat went down.
"By that time most of the lite boats
were so far away that the survivors
could catch only faint strains.
"As we left the ship I noticed the
vessel was 'hogbacked' showing she
had already broken in two, amldship.
She was not telescoped.
"The force of the collision was on
the keel and not on her bow.
"W'fe were in the smal boats about
four hours and a half before res
cued by the Carpathia.
"We saw Ice fields and Ice floes all
about us. They were grinding and
crashing together. We were in dan
ger of being dashed to pieces.
"The weather was extremely cold
and we suffered intensely.
"Tlie men showed splendid hero
ism and there was no panic among
the steerage or second class passen
gers, but men among the first cabin
passengers flew into a wild rage."

They shouted and begged the bath

that his wife was at peace with him
and that any differences would be
adjusted to his entire satisfaction if
he would only return with them.
He refused to come out and Tanity
and his companions entered the water,
finally succeeding in capturing the
man and dragging him to the shore.
Then began the inarch to the Bladu
home with the kicking man on the
shoulders of the four captors.
Scarcely had the party started
down the street before women, at
tracted by the noise, caught sight of
the burden and scampered screaming
into their respective houses. This
scene was re-enacted as each blosk
