A MANIACAL STRUGGLE FOR. BOATS. (Received April 20. 9.10 a.m.) LONDON, April 19. Other accounts allege wild disorder and a maniacal struggle for the boats by hysterical people. Passengers, * who will not give their names, declare that the captain and the engineer committed suicide. These stories, owing to the confusion of the landing, could not be confirmed. The mass of ice ripped the side of the vessel like a gigantic can-opener from the stem to the engine room. Shortly 'before she sank the Titanic broke in twain abaft the engineroom, carrying down hundreds who were grouped on the decks. The cries were pitiable.
