THE NIGHT IN THE BOATS.
■ LADY PASSENGERS' ACCOUNT. "BE QUIET OR GO OVERBOARD.'*(Eec. April 22, 0.15 a.m.) New York, April 22. Mrs. J. Brown, wife of a Denver mineowner, states that tho wliolo thing was so formal that it is difficult to realise tho tragedy. "Men and • women talked and laughed in little- groups. I was looking at tho boats when two men seized and threw mo in, saying, 'You jiro going too!' After tucking the women in, many men went to tiie restaurant to smoke. Knowing how cold tho water was, I took off my life-belt, becauso in tho event of drowning sho did not wish to linger." Then sho took an oar, and kopt warm rowing. Sho saved many lives, but soon a great wave camo, and sho knew tho Titanic was gono. "One man began to complain that wo had no food, or water, or compass. I called, "Bo quiet, or go overboard." Dawn revealed a wonderful sight. First a grey, then a flood of light, and a ball of red firo illuminating the forty miles of icebergs."
