FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1912. STORIES BY TITANIC'S SURVIVORS (Continued from Yesterday). Contrary to the general expectation. there was no jarring impaet when the vessel struck, according to the army officer. He was in his berth when the vessel smashed into the submerged portibn of the berg and was aroused by the jar. “Before 1 retired,” said Colonel Gracie, “I had a long chat with Charles M. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk railroad. One of the last things Mr. Hays said was this: ‘The White Star, the Cunard and the Hamburg- American lines are devoting their at- tention and ingenuity in vieing one with the other to attain the supremacy ip luxurious ships and in making speed records. The time will soon come when this will be checked by some ap- pelling disaster.” Poor fellow, a few hours later he was dead. “The couduct of Colonel John Jacoh Astor was deserving of the highest praise,” Colonel Gracie declared. “Colo- ne! Astor.,” he said, “devoted all his energies to saving his young bride He helped us in our efforts to get her Into the boat. I lifted her into the dboat. and as she took her place Colo- nel Astor requested permission of the second officer to go with her for her own protection. **No, sir.’ replied the officer, not a man shall go on a boat until the wom- en are all off’ (olonel Astor then inquired the number of the boat, which was being lowered away, and then torned to the work of clearing the other boats and in reassuring. the grightened and nervous women.” Says Fishing Boats Were Near. Mrs. D. W. Marvin, who was on a boneymoon trip with her husband, ‘was prostrated when she reached the pler, as her husband was lost. She said: “He grabbed me in his arms and knocked down men to get me in the boat. As I was put in the boat he eried: ‘It's all right, little girl! You go, and I'll stay a little while. I'll puat on a life preserver and jump off and follow you. The boat started off, and he threw a kiss at me. “There were fishing boats about the boat, and I think others must have been saved. Dan and I saw them be- fore we went to our room. The men whom I saw were brave, for they pushed aside others when the cowards' made for the boats before the women.” “For God's Sake, Go!” Jacques Futrelle, the author, was one of the first cabin passengers who part- ed with his wife and steadfastly re- fused to accept a chance to enter a Mfeboat when he knew that the Ti- tanic was sinking under him. The story of how her husband went to his death was told thus by Mrs. Futrelle: @ 1912, by American Press Association, TITANIC SURVIVORS LEAVING THE CAR- PATHIA. SIvhen the Tifamié nit the lceberg there was the most appalling excite- ment,” said Mrs. Futrelle, “and who, after they have passed through such an experience, could blame those poor people for the panic that overwhelmed some of them? “I do not doubt that my husband is dead, but even that knowledge cannot make me suffer more. There could be nothing worse than the mental anguish through which I have passed since we were rescued. “Jacques is dead. but he died like a hero; that I know. Three or four times after the crash I rushed up to him and clasped him in my arms and begged him to get into one of the lifeboats. “‘For God's sake, go!' he fairly screamed at me, as he tried to push me away, and I could see how he suffered. ‘It’s your last chance—go!” Then one of the ship’s officers forced me into a lifeboat, and I gave up all hope that he could be saved.” Calls Captain Smith a Hero. “Captain Smith was the biggest hero I ever saw. He stood on the bridge and shouted through a megaphone, try- ing to make himself heard. The crew obeyed his orders as well as could be expected,” said Robert W. Daniel of Philadelphia. “Five minutes after the crash every- body seemed to have gone insane. Men and women fought, bit and scratched to be in line for the lifeboats. Look at my black eye and cut chin. I got these in the fight. “Then Captain Smith seemed to get some order, and the passengers were sent to the fore and aft of the boat.” Men Gave Garments to Women. Miss Gretchen Longley, daughter of former Judge Longley of Hudson, N. Y., told this story of her experiences: “When we got to the deck we found a number of people gathering and heard the order to lower the boats given. Before we left another iceberg came along and scraped the sides, forcing ice through the portholes. “I think that there were people on board the ship when she sunk who died without knowing that she had struck and who did not realize anything was ‘wrong until the water rushed into their staterooms. “The men behaved splendidly. We were undressed in the bitter cold. The men in the lifeboat gave us their gar- ments to protect us.” “My Husband Was a Brave Man.” Mrs. Henry B. Harris was hysterical when she came on shore. She was met by a party of friends. She fell into the arms of her brother-in-law, crying, “My God! Poor Harry! He wanted to get into the lifeboats, but he stepped back. He was a brave man.” BEMIDJI MAN'S LUCKY FIND Will Interest Readers of the Pioneer.
