WHY WERE THERE ONLY TWENTY PEOPLE ON BOARD THE ILL,

FOR 2,207 TITANIC ?

Somethmg ijoust be done by the Board of Trade to insist upon a larger number of lifeboats being provided for giant Hners. Only tweiity lifeboats were supplied by Messrs. Harland and Wolff for tbe Titanic, and even twenty, according to the Right Hon. A. M. Carlisle, the man who, as g ^ e r a l i^anager to the company, was resDfinsible for the b^ildijig, was jNwar lc.ex<:?s t>f the nbmber reouired to tomply With the Board of Trade regulatwms. ^^M mips ^ m bigger f Was always in

favour of increasing the lifeboat accommodation,** said Mr. Carlisle, " yet it remains the same for a ship of ^,0<00 tons as for one of 10,000." The photograph shows the lifeboats on board the Titanic. It was taken while the giant liner was in Queenstown Harbour on Thursday of last week, in sight of land for the last time. "f wo boats, or even three if necessary, may be swung as easily as one on this type of davit, it will be seen that there is only one in the photograph.

N"i:w YORK, April 18.MisH Eonnell, ai \<>ung.stown,,Ohio, said the Titanic was ploughs ing through icefields when the collision occurred, A large proportion of tbe passengers were asleep. T h e bottom bow drove into the iceberg, aiid the lower plates were torn asunder. Large volumes of water rushed in with irresistible force, and the liner began to sink rapidly by the bow. The Titanic seemed to slide across the top of the berg. T h e passengers hurriedly seized theix clothing, and immediately the lifeboats were made ready. As the liner continued to gradually recede inti^ the trough of the sea the passengers marched towards the stem. HYMN AS SHIP WENT DOV/Ti. T h e orchestra belonging to the first cabin assembled on deck as the iiner was going dowa and played ."Nearer my God to T h e e . " In some of the boats women were shrieking for their husbands, others were weeping, but many bravely took a turn with the oars.Exchange, . " By thut time most of the lifeboats were some distance away, and only a faint sound of the stratni of the hymn could be heard. As we pulled away frorn the ship we noticed that she was 'lipg* abcked,' showing thai she was already breaking in two.'She.was not telescoped, the force of the impact being sustained on the keel more than the bows. " W e were in the small boats for more tban foui hours before we were rescued by the Carpathia. Exchange.

Recommendations for Life-S.ving Hung Up Since Last July.

FULL INQUIRY TO BE MADE

" T h e r e must be a. fuH inquiry inlo the toss of the Titanic, T h e disaster creates a new situation which will need to be most carefully considered." S o said Mr. Buxton, President of the Board of Trade, in the House of Commons yesterday afternoon, in the course of a lengthy statement on the regulations governing passenger ships. Board of Trade regulations required on a ship of 10,000 tons and upwards accommodation for AGO. T h e life/Saving appliances a n the Titanic were as follows : Accommodating, 16 boats on davits 9^ Additional boats a n d rafts - 1"^ 4S life-buoys, and 3,560 life-belts. Thus there was accommodation for 1,108 persojja in boats and raits, with 3,8E floating apphances. T h e certified maximum of passengers and crew was 3,500, and the actual number when the vessel left, 2,208. Mr. Buxton explained t h a t t h e rules now in force were originally drawn up in 1890 and revised in 1894. T h e highest provision was for vessels of 10,000 tons and upwards. (N.B.There are nearly fifty Britiiih liners of over '10,000 tons p to the now building Gigantic of 54,000 tons.) Mr, Euxtdn went on to say that in view of the increased size of modern vessels T h e B<tara o f T r a d e o n l y l a s t y e a r e u g jsasted a rovlion of t h e s e ruieo, a n d r e f e r r e d t o t h e Advisory Oommittoo o n m e r c h a n t tBhippins t h e t i u e s t l o n of t h e r e v l ^ o n of t h e r u l e s a n d a n y p a r t i c u l a r provision t o b e tneuit) in t h e c a s e o f o t e a m e r a o f l a r g e afxe. After considering this report, together with the views of the expert adviser^ the Board of Trade were not satisfied that the increased provision recommended b y t h e Committee was adequate, and referred the matter back to the Committee for further examination. " Only last y e a r , " are the Minister's words. Only iO&T A CHANCE. ^ few months wasted while thousands of lives are hazarded every day ! And now. apparently, 1,500 " T h e r e is just a chance that T o m m a y be in a b o a t , " She said, *' for when t h e "ten a r e Jives sacrificed to Governmental RED TAPE. giyen boat Stations they generally have one of BACING ACBOSS ATLANTIC. each class in a b o a t .
