It was said that such conditions left little hope for the rescue of any survivors of the Titanic that might still be adrift in rafts or boats. NO MORE ARE PICKED UP HALIFAX, N.S., April 16. The Sable Island cable ship Minia reported this afternoon through the wireless station here that she had sighted a great mass of wreckage, but no boats or rafts from the Titanic. This for the time being disposes of the hope that the Minia, which, was anchored off Cape Race, when the Titanic first called for help, might have picked up some of the Titanic's passengers.

Carpathia will arrive at New York Thursday, according to a wireless received by Collector Loeb. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Curtis has directed that the customs regulations be waived and the landing of everybody be facilitated. WILL TELL OF HORROR NEW YORK, April 16. Intense interest centres in the gradual approach to New York of the Carpathia, bearing the survivors. It is this ship which promises to bring the first authentic details of the great tragedy, and the scenes which followed.

The Carpathia is a slow vessel, and is due at Sandy Hook about 1 1 o'clock next Thursday night. 1,341 NOT ACCOUNTED FOR NEW YORK, April 16. With the revised figures there remains 1,341 persons, passengers and crew, of the Titanic who are unaccounted for. Hope clung desperately to the belief that the steamers Virginian and Parisian of the Allan line may have picked up survivors in addition to those on board the Carpathia. but this practically was -dispelled when the Sable Island wireless station reported that the Parisian had no survivors on board, and when the officers of the Aibn line in Montreal issued the statement that the captain of the Virginian had sent wireless messages.

He had arrived at the scene of the disaster too late to be of service. FURTHER 200 SAVED Along the entire Atlantic coast wireless apparatus was tuned to catch from any source the slightest whisper of hope that possibly, on board one of the many steamships whkli rushed to the assistance of the Titanic on the seas, were other survivors of the sunken vessel But from none of the ships That Has Lat- Sunken Steamboat Titanid Reported Saved.

Icebergs, such as the one that spelled disaster for the Titanic, are one of three sources of gravest peril to vessels navigating the North Atlantic. The other two are fog and derelicts. The iceberg menace has been greater this spring than in any recent years. In the past fifty years there have been an even dozen disasters to big liners, for which icebergs were responsible. A majority of these occurred off Newfoundland and Grand Banks, in the general vicinity of the Titanic's grave The list of these disasters includes: Ship Lost.

Vessels arriving here and abroad have reported ioe fields etnding far down in the southern track, and skippers for the first time told of being shut in by ice, as far as they could see en every side cf this horiion. The size of the beras which have been encountered recently varies greatly, but according to reliable reports bergs reaching from 60 to 600 feet to the tops of the walls), with pinnacles and spires expending to heights of 2,500 feet or more, have not been unusual.

The American colony in I'aris was thrown into profound grist! today by the definite neirs of the stupendous loss of life caused by the wrcfek- of the Titanic. Hundreds cf permaLnt residents here had relatives on board. Ail went to sleep last night comforted with thi aurant that all had been dived, and it was only when they received their newspapers this morning that they realized the terrible fatality. The Whit Star office was besieged by howling women, several of whom had sons on beard.

Among these was Mis. William Dullea. who left in a The Titanic herself lies buried two miles beneath the ocean's surface, midway between Sable Island and Cape Race. Her position when she struck the iceberg was given as latitude 41.46 north, longitude 50.14 west. According to the Carpathian advices the liner, which struck the iceberg at 1:25 Saturday night, sank at 2:20 o'clock Monday morning, twenty-four hours later, in latitude 41.16 north, longitude 50.14 west, or more than half a degree south of the point where the collision occurred.

It seems improbable from this that the liner after the accident made much headway under her own steam..
