These, according to the advices, the Carpathia icked up, and is now on her way wit them to New York. For the rest of the scene as the Carpathia came up was one of deso- lation. All that remained of the $10,- 000,000 floating palace, on which nearly 1,400 passengers had been voy- aging luxuriously to this side of the Atlantic, were some bits of wreckage. The (biggest ship in the world had gone down, snuflng out in her down- ward plunge, it appeared, hundreds of human lives. A significant line in the Cape Race despatch was the announcement that of those saved by the Carpathia near- ly all were women and children. Should it prove that no other vessel picked up any passengers of the sink- ing liner, this might mean that few of the men on board had been saved. as the proportion of women and chil- dren among the passengers was large.

April 16.-â€"â€"More than 1,300 persons, it is feared, sank to: their death early yesterday, when} within four hours after she crashed, into an iceberg the mammoth Whitel Star Line steamer Titanic, bounds from Liverpool to New York on her: maiden voyage, went to the bottom} ed the Newfoundland Banks. Of the approximately 2,200 persons on board the giant liner, some of them of world-wide prominence, only 866 are knewn {so have been saved. The White Star Line offices in New York, I while keeping up hope to the last, . were free to admit that there had“ been “horrible loss of life.” l Accepting the early estimates of the fatality list as accurate, the dis- aster is the greatest in the marine hist‘czg of the world. Nearest ap- pro 'ing it in magnitude were the disasters to the steamer Atlantic, in l 1873, when 574 lives were lost, and l the La Bourgogne, in 1898, with a' fatality list of 571. Should it prove I that other liners, notably the Allan liners Parisian and Virginian, known 1 to have been in the vicinity of the ; Titanic early yesterday, had picked 1 up others of her passengers, the ex- l tent of the calamity would fortunate- I 2 1y be greatly reduced.
