Figures for the Titanic are not available, but aa the ships are almost Identical In size it is" not likely that their equipment materially differs. The Olympic has sixteen lifeboats and four rafts, calculated to accommodate 1,171 persona This means about d of the total number of passengers and crew together, which la 2,447, can be accommodated. It la said at the bureau that no ship la required to bare sufficient boatroom to accommodate all Its complete passen ger and crow list.

That he and his crew enforced rigidly the unwritten law of the sei women and children first it plainly indicated by the preponderance of women among the partial Hat of survivors that the wireless has given. Although rated aa one of the most able commanders since the advent of the modern steamship, Captain Smith's career recently had been marred with He waa In command of the Titanicfs slater ship Olympic when that vessel was In collision with the British cruiser Hawka Exonerated of blame for this occurrence, he was placed In charge of tha Titanic only to graze disaster when his new charge fouled the steamship New York after leaving Southampton on her maiden voyage, which has ended so disastrously.
