BLACKMARR OF CHICAGO. IA passerger en the Carpathta New York. April Monday morning at 1:15 the Carpathia's wireless operator. Harold Thomas Cottam A picked up a distress signal from the steamship Titanic. It was the habit of this boy before retiring for the night to pick up the nearest ship and say "Good Night." Having received the distress signal.

he at once notified the officers of th" ship. When we arrived at the spot the Titanic had sunk. The sea was covered with wreckage of all kinds. mahogany splinters. white enameled oods.

silk covered couches. pillows. and mattresses. We all saw a wontan's hat floating in the darts. One fur coat floated by, suspended on a piece of wood.

From near at hand and from a distance. too. the lifeboats were coming towards us. women occupying rowing seats in many of them. with a man at the tiller.

Not a sound escaped their lips: no hysteria was in dance. Their faces were pinched with cold The task of raising them from the lifeboats to the ship's deck was difficult. The wom- en with their blistered hands found it hard to climb any ladders. The majority of them were lifted In by a swing which consisted cf a board with a rope from each side. connecting with a single large cable.

Astor Calmly Waited Death.

Col. Astor, it is said. after placing his wife in a boat. as did some of the other rich men, returned to the middle of the deck of the Titanic, folded his arms, end went down with the ship. The conduct of these rich men goes to prove they were heroes.

Climbed Ledge to Safety.

The stairway of the Titanic was so crowded -ith steerage passengers that it was utteriy impossible for some to gain the upper deck. One man told me he climbed along the ledge of the boat until he reached the deck. where he loosened a collapsible boat. A moment later the lifeboat was filled on its edges with women, children. and men.

It began to sink with this load; and the women and children at the edge gradually' slipped off, into the ocean-'The saddest moment of all, after the boatloads had been lanCed on the deck of our ship. was to see the poor widows and sons and daughters whose family relations bad-been broken. standing at the rail, looking into the distance with hands outstretched trying in hope to see their loved ones.

I went to Lloyds aid found reinsurance was being granted on the vessel at 50, 40 and even as low as 25 guineas per cent ($250, $200, and $125 for $500 insurance). This was several hours after the Titanic sank. I do not think any body on this vide of the water knew the facts. Whether anybody knew them in 'New York probably cannot be ascertained until an official investigation is made.

That Col. John Jacob Astor, scion of one of New York's oldestt families, died the death of a brave man there is ample testimony, though in some of the survivors' de-tells these stories conilidt. Sifting the stories it is evident Cot Astor. after assisting his wife and other women, did actually get into the boat with them, but subsequently returned to the liner, some declaring at the request of an officer and others that it was of his own volition after he had seen there were other women still on the ship. From other facts In survivors' stories it wouid also appear the boat in which he left hi wife had room for many more passengers, some say sixteen.

Astor, it is clear he and his wife were in their mbin when the ship struck, that they at once tame on deck, and upon the order for the women to get in the boats, Mrs. Astor at first demurred, believing there was not sufficient danger to warrant risking her life in such a frail craft. Col. Astor thereupon insisted. Two stewards of the Titanic told a reporter they had subsequently seen Col.

Astor doing valiant work getting women into other boats. Capt. Charles Frederick Crain, V. S. one of the Carpathia's passengers, said one of the survivors.

a boy, 14 years of age, told him he owed his life to Col. Astor. The boy's story. as repeated by Capt. Crain, was that when he tried to get into a lifeboat the sailors pushed him hack, with: You're not a girl." Col.

Astor, the boy said, happened to be near, saw this, and picking up from the deck girl's hat, jammed it on the boy's head, and watching his chance pushed him Into the boat with the women. 1 the tit of de to and vieppeal xtbuo the rawn Yed In ips to stant guns )stves Philadelphia, April describing her experiences in the sinking of the Titanic, Mrs. George D. whose on and husband, a wealthy financier of this city. were drowned, said that she had seen Capt.

Before deciding definitely where to make for I conferred with Mr. Ismay, and, though he told me to do what I thought best, I informed him, taking everything into consideration, I considered New York best.

I knew we should require clean blankets. provisions, and clean even if we went to the Azores. As most of the passengers saved were women and children, and they hysterical. not knowing what medical attention they might require, thought it best to go to New York. Also thought it would be better for Jr.

Ismay to go to New York or England as soon as possible. and knowing I should be out of wireless communication soon if I proceeded to the Azores, it left Halifax. Boston. and New York, so I chose the latter. Ignored Press Messages.

Again passengers were about Ice. and I pointed out to Mr. Ismay the of seeing ice if I went to Halifax. Then I knew from the gravity of the disaster that it would be best to keep in touch with land stations as best I could. We have experienced great difficulty in transmitting news, also names of survivors.

Our wireless is poor. and again we have had so many interruptions from ether ships and also Messages frsom shore, principally press, which we ignored. I gave instructions to send first of all official messages then names of passengers. then survivors' private messages.

Our crew also turned out to let the crew of the Titanic take their quarters. I am pleased to state that owing to preparations made for the comfort of survivors, none were the worse for exposure. etc. I beg to specially -mention how willing and cheerful the whole of the ship's company behaved, receiving the highest praise from everybody. And I can assure you I am very proud to have such a company under my command.

People are asking why the Olympic played so puzzling a part in connection with the tragedy. They are asking why a ship with a long range wireless equipment turned the rescue work over to a weak vessel with a Marconi range of only MO miles.

It may be answered that the Olympic was a mail boat under contract to deliver the malls promptly and subject to heavy penalties in the event of default. The Carpathla was a pleasure craft with no such responsibility. But would any government have held a ship to a mail contract or should any steamship company have thought of financial penalties in such a case? Left alone, the captain of the surely would have gone to The Titanic, even If he had heard that his going was considered useless. Some persomhigh in authority must have ordered the captain of the Olympic to proceed on his voyage, leaving the Titanic's possible survivors to other ships. Could it have been because of the Olympics adequate preparations to give all the news quickly to the world? Criticises Course of Istotty.

The silence of the Carpathia seems insolent and inexplicable. Did J. Bruce Is may bully the captain? Mr. Ismay war the biggest man on the Carpathia and must be held responsible for that ships amazing behavior. Speaking of Mr.

Ismay. by what right was he saved? He was higher in the White Star service than the captain of the Titanic. Why did he not stick to the ship and share the fate of the victims of the line's faults and misfortune? If he had been picked out of the water one could excuse him, but it is said here that he took a place in a boata place which certainly belonged to some woman or man for whose life the White Star lin-e had assumed responsibility: The American indignation is easily understood, and I hope all the facts in the affair will be brought to light."

When the conflicting stories of the last few days had been simmered down to facts it was discovered that at least seven more passengers who went down with the great beat either were bound for this city or had relatives here. In the local offices of the White Star line there was no display of wealth. Those who called to receive the news that their loved ones were dead visited the third class department of the company.

Chief Clerk Ivar Ittilmstrom scanned the list of third class passengers saved. Ile failed to find there any of the names enumerated by Paulson.

Perhaps they did not sail," he suggested hopefully. Then he looked over the list of those who shipped third class on the Titanic at Queenstown. The process of elimination was now complete. Your family was on the boat. but none of them are accounted for," said Clerk Holmstrom.

The man on the other side of the counter was assisted to a seat. Ills face and hands were bathed in cold water before he became fully conscious.

At first Chief Clerk Hoistrom failed to find the name of Joseph Foley in the passenger list, and the Chicago brother heaved a sigh of relief. But the clerk scanned the list once more and found the name this time. The White Star accounts for Joseph Foley the same way as it does for 1,605 other passengers. I guess he is gone," said Foley. pulling excitedly at his pipe.

Poor lad, he was a fine, clean cut young fellow, 26, he was. The last letter I wrote I told him to stay at home on the farm with -the old folks. Joe Is the first to go.
