TITANIC AND EMPRESS OF IRELAND DISASTERS.

The White Star Company's new steamer Titanic, of 45,000 tons, which shared the distinction with the Olympic of being the largest ship afloat, collided with an iceberg, off Capo Race, Newfoundland, on her maiden trip from Southampton to Now York, on April 14, 1912. The vessel carried 3CO first-class passengers, 320 second, 250 third, and 940 officers and crew. The Garpathia brought in 674 survivors, leaving 163b unaccounted for. The Titanic sank 'two hours and forty minutes after she struck, and ono hour and forty minutes before the Carpathia arrived. The lifeboats were entirely insufficient. The Titanic's crew showed great self-sacrifice. The total loss was estimated at £5,000,000, including, besides the vessel, tho cargo, mails, and Life, and other insurances. On May 29, 1914, the Canadian-Pacific Railway Company's steamer Empress of Ireland, 14,191 tons, was struck amidships by the Norwegian coal steamer Storstad and sank in 14 minutes. The disaster occurred on the St. Lawrence River, near Father Point, at night in a dense fog. Passengers rushed on deck, but the great liner lurched to one sido » few minutes after being'struck, and many of those, on board, . unable to maintain their footing on the sloping deck, were launched into the icy-cold waters of the river. The vessel carried a full equipment of boats and other life-saving appliances, but it was impossible to law* most of them, owing to the atoaper,heeling over. Four Aucklanders-Colon.l W. R., Mrs., and Miss M*J*"** and Mrs. Wynn Price-were drowned. In all, 1023 lives were lost in the disaster, while 433 were saved.
