SIX NAMELESS INFANTS.

A FAMILY'S SOLE SURVIVOR. LAST SEEN OF MR. STEAD. t NEW YORK, 20th April. Six Chinese hid under seats in the lifeboat* prior to their being launched, and were undetected. Seven nameless infants were rescued. One was suffering from scarlet fever and another from meningitis. Several of the survivors- are now suffering from pneumonia. A year-old child named Allison, son of a Montreal banker, is the sole survivor of a family of four. Mr. W. T. Stead was last seen on deck near the smoke-room. Another account states that he jumped overboard after the boats left. Other survivors think that Mr. Stead and Colonel Astor both reached a raft, but then succumbed to the cold and dropped off. Among the lost are :— -Mr. Julian, the well-known metallurgical engineer; Mr. Case, managing director of the Vacuum Oil Company; and the Rev. Mr. Carter, of St. Jude's, Whitechapel, and Mrs. Carter. To the list of names of well-known passengers saved is added Mr. Charles Williams, the racquets champion. . Mr. C. M. ( Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Railway, was last seen bidding farewell to the passengers as they were leaving the sinking vessel. . Mr. Ismay was rescued in his slippers, pyjamas, and overcoat, dazed and cold. Several narratives show he gave active assistance in filling and lowering boats.
