The Cape Cod transmitter wes busy sending messages to an in- coming liner. Cottam clicked a query to the ship being called. "Do you hear Cape Cod?" he asked. Back out of the ether came the stac- cato dots and dashes. "Come at once. We've struck an berg. It's a CQD, old man!" What Cottam said is not on record. It was Phillips of the Ti- tanic sending the stuttering 'code that Jromged one of the greatest tragedies enacted on the sea. Sixteen | years ago April 15th the Titanle.sank &t latitude 41:4 north, longitude 50 14 west, off the Newfoundland Banks, with a loss of 1,617 lives. At 10.20 'o'clock in the night, New York time, she was cutting through a motionless wea at a speed of twenty-one knots an hour. Without warning, with scarce- ly a jar to indicate what had happen-| ed, she struck a submerged iceberg' and ripped out her bottom. At 2:20, o'clock in the morning ehe had joined | the ever-growing armada that rests forever at the bottom of the ocean. In those four hours one of the great- est dramas of the sea was written, a gripping story of bravery, sacrifice =e cowardice. In those four hours; ether was vibrant with the buzz-| ng dots and dashes that spelled an epic in radio. It was spelled in syl lables of tragedy, move awful through contrast with the calm, cold sea on which the 1,617 struggled for their fives under a starry sky. } Liner on Malden Voyage Picture the night, cold, clear, star- lit. An undulating ocean and the majestic Titanle, the last word in the engineering science of the sea, proud- iy spurning the waves at a speed of glose to twenty-five miles an hour. It 'was her maiden voyage. Moreover, it was her last night out.

Her usual speed was thirteen knots, An lil-Fated Ship With the Carpathia almost in view and rescue just over the horizon, Phillips sent his last message: "Come quick! Our engine room is flooded up to the boilers." That was at 11.41 o'clock: Cottam flashed back that the Carpathia was sending up rockets and for the Titanic to be on the lookout for them. But the Titanic was silent. Cottam plugged his key. Message after message went speeding through space. But there was no stuttering buzz in his earphones to tell him that the Titanic was still afloat and was waiting. Chance, fate, luck! Some perverse Early in the afternoon of g fateful Sunday, the Leyland liner 'ornlan notified her of the pres- ence of icebergs. Cyril Evans, wire- less operator of the Californian, testi- fied at the Senate hearing, following the disaster, that he called the Ti- tanic, warning her of icebergs. "Say, old man, we are stuck here surround- ed by ice," his message read . The answer he got back from the Titanic was, a8 nearlk as he could remember it, "Keep out; I am talking to Cape Race. You are ramming my message." It was through pure chance that Cottam on the Carpathia got the Ti- tanic's call for help; and it was pure- ly by luck that the Titanic was able to call, according to Harold Bride, Junior operator on the ship The Ti- tanic's wireless broke down early in the afternoon. This must have been shortly after the Californian's warn- ing came in. "If it hadn't been for a lucky thing," Bride said, '"we never could have sent any call for help. The lucky thing was that the wireless broke down early enough for us to fix it before the acciden*. We noticed something wrong on Sunday and Jack Phillips and I worked seven hours to (find it. We found a 'secretary' burn- od out, at last, and repaired it just a few hours before the iceberg was struck." holes and cabin windows blazed with light. 'A last-night party was in full swing. The passengers were dancing to the music of the ship's orchestra. To-morrow they would be going about thelr daily routine of business in New r York; but to-night was made fo | pleasure The Titanic, as if conscious of her dignity and importance, which was enhanced by beautiful women and wugmented by men whose names were written at the very apex of current mffairs, glided through the night. Her sharp prow cut the cobalt water leav- ing two plumes of white foam trailing along her sides. Suddenly there was a slight shock. It was almost imperceptible. Some few passengers strolled out on deck, and inquired the cause. "We have struck an iceberg," they were inform- ed; "but, there is no danger. ship is unsinkable." There was no danger! Her entire bottom had been ripped out. Even as the inquiry was being made she was filling with water. Even then Captain Smith was on his way to the radio room to tell Phillips {and Bride to make ready to send a call for help. As the ship's orchestra started to play again, the plea for help was speeding through space. On the Carpathia, Cottam hurried to the Captaln's quarters. Captain Rostron was off duty at the time. As moon as he heard the message he ord- {ered the Carpathia turned about and jrushed full speed ahead to the Ti- to the 'bridge to take chage.

TELLING THE TRUTH WHEN HE SAYS THe | CHINAMAN IN THe NEW LAUNDRY DownN ON THE - CORNER 3S A COUNTRY MAN The, Chance again brought the Califor- nian back in the story. That night las the Titanic was sinking, close to is position, the captain of the Cali- fornian was signaling in Morse by a ! pocket flashlight to a ship in distress. At the Senate hearings, he emphatic- ally denied that this ship was the Ti- | tanic. Surviving members of the Ti- | tanic's crew just as emphatically swore that a ship stood to four miles off all during the tragedy. Whether this was the Californian, no one may ever know. All that is known is that | while the Californian's captain was signaling by flashlight from his bridge, his wireless man was asleep in his cabin. No one thought to awaken him until 3.30 o'clock in the morning, more than an hour after the leurtain of waves had ended the tra- gedy and five hours after Jack Phil- lips had sent his first urgent plea for help stabbing through the air. What Happened In the Cabin? What happened in the Titanic's radio cabin during the four hours be- tween the time the shock was felt and the time the Titanic liffed her stern in the air and plunged beneath the waves is Harold Bride's story. It forms as graphic a narrative as radio has ever written--as raido may ever be called on to write. "I was standing by Phillips, "Telling him to go to bed," he sald, "when the captain put his head in the door." " 'We've struck an iceberg,' the cap- tain sald, 'and I'm having an inspec tion made to tell what it has done for is. You better get ready to send out a call for assistance. But dont send it until I tell you, Then the captain was gone. "Ten minutes later he was back, gone, flashed away at it and we joked as he did so. All of us made light of the disaster, ° "Phillips began to send C Q D. He "Then the captain came back. "'What are you sending? he asked. "'C Q D; Phillips replied, "The humor of the situation appeal- ed to me. I cut In with a little re- mark that made us all laugh, includ ing the captain. "Send 8 0 S,' I sald. 'It's the new call and it may be your last chance to send it. "Phillips with a laugh changed the signal to 8 O 8"--it was his last chance. Shortly after he succeeded in pick- ing up the Frankfurt and gave his position. "We have struck an ice- berg and need assistance," he told the Frankfurt's operator, who ran to the bridge and told his captain of the Titanic's plight. When he came back Phillips was send, "We are sinking by the, head." Yen then there was a distinct Mst forward. The Carpa- thia answered and a few minutes later called back that she had turned about and was speeding to the rescue as fast as her engines could turn and that her boats were being swung overside, Neither Phillips nor Bride was fully dressed. Phillips held the key, flashing out message after message, while Bride ran back and forth be- tween the radio room and the bridge carrying news of the rescue ships to Captain Smith. In between trips he found time to put on more clothes and throw a coat over his chief's shoulders, It was growing cold in the radio cabin and at any minute the powr might give out, The message came from the Carpathia that she was making eighteen knots. Bride ran to the bridge with the news. On the way back he noticed that the life boats were being manned and load- ed. Call to Abandon Ship! Back in the wireless "shack," Phil- lips told him that the set was grow- ing weaker and that at any moment it might dle. Meanwhile he kept sending messages to the Carpathia, urging her to hurry. Cotton sent back cherry answers to signals so weak he could hardly detect them. Then Phillips picked up the Olympic, "Wie are sinking by the head," be told her. The message had just clicked into space when Captain Smith called: "Men, you have done your full duty, You can do no more. Abandon your cabin. I release you, Now {it's every man for himself. You look out for yourselves." Then he hurried back to the bridge to go down with tis ship, as a commander should, ac- cording to the traditions of the sea. He did, and nobly. But Phillips and Bride did not look out for themselves. The senior man clung to his key and sent call after call. Probably he did not know whether or not his set was dead. But there was the key.
