THE TITANIC DISASTER
; SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE. By Cable —Pre«» Association —Copyright Received 12, 5.5 p.m. London, May 11. Jonathan, chief baker on the Titanic, gave evidence that prior to the sinking of the vessel he threw fifty deck chaire overboard. He went to the pantry and tfcank half a tumbler of liqueur. Suddenly there was a crash, and the ship buckled. People scurried to get to the poop. The ship gave a lurch, and everyone was pitched down and fell in a mass. Hundreds were piled upon each other. Jonathan managed to clutch a tail when the Titanic plunged, and found himself in the water safely, with a belt on. He paddled about for two hours, and at daybreak reached a collapsible on which Lightoller and twenty-five men Were standing. There was no room, and Jonathan was pushed away. He swam round to the opposite side, when Maynard, a cook, recognised him and supported him until the lifeboat rescued him.
