PREMONITION OF DEATH
TITANIC SURVIVOR’S DEATH. A survivor of the Titanic disaster, Christopher Mills, aged 70, of Orchard Place, dropped dead in a street at Southampton. He was returning home alter paying a visit to his married son. Mr. Mi’ds appears to have had a premonition of approaching death, as shortly before leaving his soil he remarked, “Get my grave ready. 1 shall be needing it soon.” Death was due to natural causes. A butcher on the ill-fated Titanic, Mr. Mills was working in the refrigerator when the liner struck the iceberg. He was trapped, and' had to crawl on hands and knees through a maze of pipes before he succeeded in reaching one of the life-boats.
