"I was sitting out on the up pel dock,"' ho said, "when the captain walked pat about half pa-l one o'clock nnd said: 'It is n nice night, hut it looks to me n- though u fog is coining. You never know how soon n fog will drop on you at tlin part of the river.'" When the cra-h came. Smart says, he saw Captain Kendall on the bridge. He was holding on to the rail, shouting orders to the crew, leaning over and waving his baud. He heard him say: "Keep your head-, there, and don't get excited." When n boat dropped sideways into the water the captain seemed to realize that the liner wn lot, for he sheuted: "Hurry up there, every body. There Ts not a ihinulc to lose. Gel the stcwanls through the corrid ors. If there arc door looked, break them in. Get the people out. nnd don't forget the women nnd' children mut come first." "He spoke through n megaphone," said Smart, "hut there was so much screaming and moaning that his voice was drowned. Itttt he stuck to his jost to the verv last. 'Wheii I got onto the Lady Eve lyn I sn. whim stretched out there and they were giving him brundy. When he was able to swak, he look ed around nnd asked, 'Where's the ship?' A passenger, who looked lik n doctor, told him the boat had gone down. On hearing this. Captain Kendall buried his fare in n piece of tarpaulin and cried as though his heart .would break."

King George sent it messenger to the European hiauager of the Can adian Pacific railway expressing his surnw nt the disaster and the great loss of life, John Hums, president of the local government hoard, was one of the tirst callers at the London offices of the imuiny to ask for the latest news. The lord mayor of London, on learning the extent of the disas ter, decided to open a fund towanl the relief of the widows nnd or phans of those of the passengers and crew who had been lost. Great crowds besieged the Loudon mid Liierjtool offices of the com pany and anxiously scanned the lists of the rescued. There werc'mnuy pitiable, scenes when women ami turn who had wait ed throughout tho night in the hope of hearing that friends or relatives were safe could not find their names on the lists, and turned nwny in de spair, only to return when further bulletins were posted.
