Very little interest is liein displayed

NEW YOKK, April W.Tho moun
tain of ice that destroyed the liner
Titanic was almosf the color 'of wa
ter. It wns almost impossible to dis
tinguish it a great, distance, and tho
big liner "was ripdiing through the
water at such a fearful rate of speed
that when the lookout in the "ennv'.j
nest" rexrted "iccyibead" there was
not lime to transmit the reverse or
der to the engine room before tho
crash came.
That the ordinary rules of cutiliou
while passing through the ice-fields
were disregarded is known. Whero

Begun to Sink ut Once.
Tho captain wus not standing
watch when the liner stiaivik. Chief
Officer Murdock wns of the bridge
and he immediately pushed the elec

Smith rushed to the bridge und nt
once made '(ets of the lighting ap

the ciigiueroom, whilo Mudock was
signalling full speed astern.
But nlrcadv there was u drop by
the bow, and from the cngiucroom
camo tho report that tho vessel was
taking water forward. The shock
had been felt everywhere but Micro
was no alarm. How could hitting
some ico hurt "the biggest vessel
nflont7" Not a soul on tho liner bud
tho faintest inkling of the horrible
tragedy which hnd been set in motion.
But soon Captain Smith noticed that
the big ship was dropping forward
and the indications wero that the
bulkheads were giving way und the
engineroouis wero being endangered.
Then ho gave tho order to get the
passengers over the side and ut tho
same time word to Wireless Operator
Jack Phillips to send out tho inter
national call the continental appeal
for aid.

camo the sharp ordor and the army
of stewards obeyed at once. Kvery
one was ordered to ussomblo on deck
with their lifebelts on. Many refused.
Ihoy could not realize that there was
danger but tho presence of the crew
at collision stations and tho uncoiling
of lifeboat ropes soon indicated to
everyone that business was meant.
Then camo tho sharp cemmund:
"Women and children first" and thero
wero revolvers in tho bauds of tho
officers, showing that tho officers
woro to enforce thu orders. No dis
tinct ion wus math) between women
of tho steerage and tho women of tho
