GAVE UP LIVES » TOQUET CROWDS | {Went Down on Th on Titanic With Men and Women Grouped About Them. ‘ALL CREEDS IN PRAYER. ¥ il | lt Three Girl Survivors Tell How . They Chose Death to Mt Solace Others. ‘Two prieste of the Roman Catholic Church went down on the Titanic with men and women grouped about them responding to prayers. Not only Catho- Mea, but Protestants and Jews, realizing that their last hour was at hand, took part in the final religious service on the @ioping deck of the Titanic as she was heading downward for the depths. One of the clergymen was Rev. Thom- es R, Byles of Westminster Pansh, London, who was on his way to this ity to officiate at the marriage of h brother in Brooklyn. The other was a German priest Who spoke the Hungarian Janguage in addition to his own. Father Byles was in the first cabin, The Ger- ‘man priest was in the third cabin, The mame of the German clergyman has not been ascertained. Both priests celebrated mass for the steerage passengers Sunday morning. Father Byles delivered a sermon in English and French, the other in Ger- man and Hungarian. Strangely enough each of the priests spoke of the necessi- ty of man having a feboat in the shape of religious consolation at hand in case of spiritual shipwreck. After the Titanic struck Father Byles ‘made his way to the steerage. He was active in getting steerage passengers up to the boat deck and assisting wom- en and children to the lifeboats. Of the two clergymen he was the leader not only in rendering material aid to the frightened emigrants, but in keep- ing the religious aspect of the terrible eccasion to the fore. THREE GIRLS TELL HOW PRIEST QUIETED CROWD. Three of the survivors who vividly Femember the last hours of the heroic English priest are Miss Ellen Mock- lare, a pretty, dark-haired young girl from Galway, now at her sister's home, No. 412 West Seventeenth street; Misi Bertha Moran, who has gone to Troy, N. ¥., and Miss McCoy, who is in St. ‘Vincent's Hospital. These told their day. “When the crash came we were thrown from our berths, said Miss Mocklare. “Slightly dressed, we pre- ed to find out what had happened. We saw before us, coming down the passageway, with hand uplifted, Father Byles. We knew him because he had visited us several times on board and celebrated mass for us that very morn- ing. Be calm, my good people,’ he said, and they he went about the steerage giving absolution and biessin; “Meanwhile the stewards ordered us jack to bed,” spoke up Miss McCoy, “put we would not go. “A few around us became very ex- cited,” Miss Mocklare continued, “and then it was that'the priest again raised his hand and instantly they were calm once more. Tle passengers were imme- diately impressed by the absolute self- control of the priest. He began the recitation of the.rosary. Thy prayers of all, regardless of creed, were mingled and the responses, ‘Holy Mary,’ were Youd and strong.’ “Continuing the prayyrs," said Miss Bertha Moran, ‘‘he led us to where the boats were being lowered. Helping the women and children in he whispered to them words of comfort and encourage- ment.” SAILOR BEGGED PRIEST IN VAIN % TO GET IN BOAT, sald Miss Mocklare, ; ee ee HERO PRIESTS No Light on the Mystery | Hiding the Of Two Waifs of the Sea | Identity French Children Merely Answer “Out?

WAS IN FEAR OF UPSET. Two Men Call on Mayor Gay- | nor and One Tells Story About “Unknown.” Two survivors of the Titanic called on Mayor Gaynor to-day. One is a sailor who was assigned to help man a lifeboat, the other a steerage passenger who, wearing @ life-belt, leaped over- board from the sinking ship, was picked up by passengers aboard an already over-burdened liferaft, again to be hurled back into the ocean and again to be saved by the occupants of a lif boat. They sought immed: assist- ance, having ‘every possession when the Titante Eugene P. Daly, the rescued steerage passenger, was playing the bag pipes in the third cabin to the amusement of his fellow passengers shortly before the ice- berg was struck, Daly says he was just about to retire when the impact startled him. He grabbed some clothing and started for the deck. Stewards went through the steerage and rea sured the passengers, saying there was no danger. “Most of the women believed these statements,” said Daly, ‘until it was too late. That is why so many of the wom- en in the steerage were drowned. When they finally realized that the ship was sinking they tried to reach the boats, but could not get through the crowd of other frightened passengers. JUMPEO INTO WATER AND SAVED BY ‘LIFEBOAT. “I managed to don @ life preserver and failing to get a seat in @ Mfeboat or on a raft Jumped overboard and struck out Just before the ship sank. The water waa icy and for the first few minutes I thought I could not eurvive the cold shook. I do not know how long I was in the water when I caught the edge of & lferaft or coliapsible lifeboat already crowded. It upset, but the people in it did not drown, Some of them scrambled back while others, including myself, were dragged into « lifeboat containing women and a few men. My sufferings in the lifeboat were intense until we reached the Carpathia, where I was made comfortable. “Here I am now, atripped of every | posu | lows, and my only hope for them io that having survived the perils Of the iceberg and the open sea they may not be adopted by some American family which was born with a gold knife in its month. Incidentaily, ‘he question of thetr adoption in the event that no relatives can be found remains unsettled, “We have no intention of keeping them,” remarked Miss Hays's father, boyond the time when thelr relative: [are:found or the search for them 1s given up, A Montreal family who were passengers on the Titanic are anxious to adopt them, and my daughter says they shall hava the preference. Of course, many persons here in New York have also offered to take them, NOT IN THE SAME BOAT WITH MISS HAYES. “The published story that the chil- dren were in the same boat with my daughter and clung to her instinctively, js a misstatement. My daughter left in the first lifeboat and the two chil- dren followed on later boats. The} smaller boy was tossed from the deck | of the Titanic into @ Hféobat without & stitch of clothing. The older child wore only @ shirt when he was taken aboard the Carpathia, The survivors of the Titanic on board formed a ladies’ committee, and as my daughter was the only one among ‘hem who had not suffered some personal loss through worldly possession, including my be- loved bag pipes, my baggage and nin ty-elght pounds sterling which I saved in fourteen years in anticipation of epending the rest of my days in the United States.” Daly is living with friends at No. 901 Dean street, Brooklyn. Secretary Adamson gave Daly @ note to those in charge of thi yor’s relief fund at the headquarters of the American Red Cross Society at No, 1 Madison avenue Robert Hopkins, the sailor of the Ti- tanic, was also referred to the fund managers. He was assigned by a eu- pertor officer to get into one of the ‘oats whose occupants all were women and to help handle the boat. He says that when he put off from the sinking Titanic he under orders to eteer @ course toward lights whioh were burn- ing on the distant horizon. ALL BELIEVED THE LIGHTS WERE FRANKFURD. “We all delleved that those lights a“ ¢ from the Frankfurd but she was ing away, We found out when we tried to row toward her,” said Hopkins. Hopkine is one of White Star crew who refused to sail back to England by the company’s orders. He aid he had quit the company and expected there- fore no relief from that quarter, Hopkins threw some additional light on the so-called “millionaires’ special, lifeboat 2, which was one of t first to leave the Titanic, This boat, Hopkins said, contained Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon, Lady Duff Gordon, a man who was indicated as @ millionaire and only + THN INE EAR UNE TT TO FIT SHIPS WITH RAFTS AND BOATS General Agent Sumner Says of Board Sent Wireless Directing Changes. | Chairman Charles T.
