MOBE SUKYITORS LISTS.Two further lists of survivors of the Titanic were

mad public last nightone a short list imclassifiedissued ia Nw York by the Cunard CompEusy an dthe other a list of some 130 ad d names o( third-class passengers or crew sent b y wireless frojoNew Yori to the ofSces of the White Star Line.' T h e list of steerage iiassengen is yet far fromcomplete, but at best th e deaih-roll in the thirdelass ca n hardly be less than 450450 names missing from th e list.

The griia record is all the sadder an d more moving bccaiue ol the circumsUnces i a wluch t heBftjority of them went out.They were emigrants, and on auch a boat asthe Titanic, th e best' class of emigrants . Theyhad left the o ld life behiad with ol! its troublesafld impos^biiities a n d dxaggine-down hopeless-new; they ha d cast this slough off, an d weregoing forth, full of hope once more, to a newexistence where everything would be begun al lover again.And then tc be caught like rats in a t r a p ! A n d60 wa yout. On the horizon, life an d high hopes -facing them, th e agony of a long-drawn-out a n dhorrible death.. "John Smith, carpenter," among th e names ofmjsaing does no t convey much in glancing downthe list. Bu t "John Smith missing " means a wholeworld of tragedy Bomewhcre.Somehow or other, things ha d gone wrong inEngland; somehow he was not the success he felthe Ought to have been.So tor t he sum of S Is.-the price of a third-

class cabin on the TitanicJohn Smith purchasedthe chance of another start in life,Then on e night, when almost in touch with th epromised land, John Smith found himself in themiddle of a huddled group of distraught fpllow-Gieatures. taced with a death which wa s certain,but whicn was not swift.SOME OF THOSE SAVED.

The foUowing list, with many names mutilated bywireless transmission, is that sent from New Yorkby Reuter yesterdaj", and at night added to aadcorrected by the White Star Company, who received apparently a similar ]ist from New York viaSouthampton: -THIRD CLASS PASSEHOERS OR CREW.Mar; Hsrgevy,HftQwiEuQ Marllcarl.Ada a AturEon.

Still they waited yesterd aythe wives, i^oth ers,aisteis, daughters of the men who went down withthe Titanic.

It was the fourth day of burdensome suspense toanguished hearts . To those wh o waited an dvratched for the remaining names of the saved itwas'the most dreadful day of tdl. For the newsmight arrive a t any minnte .Jus t b^ore iOp .m . a further Uat wa s posted -ap,and there was a a almost irani ic rush,on.the part trfth e sa d crowd inside, to gathe r th e latest tidings.One woman -who ha d s eve r al r e l a ^ n s cm boardthe Tita nic Tas completely overcome with e motm nwhen sh e discovered that" the nam es of loved oneswere misMng irom thedi st.Since th e first sinister news of the disaster tothe Titanic shoc&^d t he world on Monday m o m -b | [ , hundreds and thousands of men. women a n dchildren haTc waited, half jn hope, half i n fear ,for a name, for the word or two ma kin g 311t h edifference between life an d death to them.

Day 4f ter da y they have crowded th e ofikres ofthe White Sta r Line , anxi ously scaj^oing th e typedlists on the notice-boards, questioning th e quiet-spoken officials.Yesterday th e inquiries an d visitors were n otSuite so nameious a s previously, but a ll day longlere was a, steady stream of grave-faced m e nand sad-eyed women seeking fo r newsSome or the men and women h a d been up a l lnigh t in London, snatching what sleep they couldin th e offices in Cockspur-sEreet.

WOHJUI'S rWO-BAIfS* WAIT.One woman had not left th e building, except fora few short intervals to snatch some food, for twowhole days. Bu t yesterday morn ing, assured thatno news could b e c:ipected for some hours-and thatidie would be instantly informed by telegraph whenan y di d come, sh e urft th e office an d went sadlyhome.Another, young to know such tragedy, was ayouth sistecn or so, whose father ivas engaged onthe liner. He ha s haunted th e building since Monday. an d could no longer ke ep hi s. feelings a n dfeats to himself." Tell me," h e said, to a clerk, " tell me all youknow. If my father i s dead, don't hide it fromm e. I can bear th e news ; I know he is drowned.You Can't shock m any more than I have beenshocked,"In a comer, sitting silently with a friend, was awoman, dressed in deep mourning, whose eyes ha dsuch deep, black hollows uiider them that at firstsight it almost looked as if they ha d been bmised.

ALWAYS IN TEABSOnce on eiderly lady groped her way from th enotice board, where she had not foimd th e nameshe wa s yearning to read. Sh e went to the counterand began to a sk if there was any news of her son.But Before sh e could properly frame he r question great gulping tears choked her, and she turnedaway, he r question unaskedbut answered for allthat.And so, for hour after hour, things went on, thesame familiar, grief-slacken figures comi ng inagain an d aeain, scannmg th e typed Lists of passengers saved, an d departing.Ahvays there was no fresh news.Resignation-^a sort of deadened bowing to a

cruel fatewas th e keynote of the scene. Th ewaiting ones ha d become hardened; they ha dpassed through th e erst anguish of fierce despair,an d th e ache in their souls wa s perhaps lesspoignantly wrenching. ?Somethe more hopeful ones'still expressedthe sort of half-hearted conviction that some ofthe Titanic 's passengers " must have been pickedup by other vessels ' ' than th e Carpath ia .Bu t th e tone in which they spoke showed thatthey did not really believe Jt in their innermosthearts .Generally hope deferred seemed to have madethe hear t sickand there were many sick, achinghear ts in Cockspur-street all day yesterday.WAITING FOR ?

IFrovn Ou r Ovun Corr espo ndef l t . )SOTJTHAMFTOS, Ap ril 18-The r wer e fur the rheartrending; scenes here to-night, when, shortlybrfore midnight, th e mayor appealiiig crowd 01 ed to the wait -wives an d olher relatives of the

Titanic 's crew who had been anxiously scana ingthe lists of survivorsfirsj posted at 7 p ,m .~ togo home a nd rest.There wa s little likelihood, continued th emayor, of further news fo r some hours, owing toatmospherical difficulties in the western ocean,Slowly an d sadly th e crowd then dispersed, an dmany woiAen were le d away sobbing bitte rly.I t wa s exac t ly 7 p.m. when t he first large sheetof names of survivors on the Caipathia was affixedto th e hoard outside th e White Star offices here.Ther e were abottt 40O persons pr esent t hen , bu tsoon a huge crowd ha d gathered.The names were wtittwi just as rwreived, withoutany explanation whether Ihey were third-class passengers or crew. Most of the thirty names in thefirst list were foreign an d were no t recognised byanyone in the crowd.Mr. Cnrrie, th e Southampton manager of theWi^C Star, said th e names were also oeing sentstraight to the London offices for distribution." W e ar e get t ing t he names very slowly," besaid, " for the atmospheric conditions are bad, andit will b e hoars before we ^ them ail ."A s each name is received we have to send atelegram to the passenger's home in Italy, Scandinavia, France, or wherever It may be.CaOWD WATCHES IN SILENCE.

Police formed a cordon in front of the boardto keep back th e crowd, which rap idly grew toan enormous size as the news that th e names werebeing announced spread through th e town. Thedead silence of the waiting throng wa s most im pressive.One little private message by wireless wa sposted after th e first lis t: "Ji mmy,Pl eas e callat 9S, Millbrook-road for information aboutPatsy ."In Sontbamptoi^ th e home of many of theTitonJc's crew, th e t ragedy is too deep fo r tears,One widow, M rs . Preston, o f ^ , Mjllbank-strect, told me 'th at her son, Thomas CharlesPreston, aged twenty-two, who was a coal trimme r on the Titanie , was the main support ofherself and her four younger children. She hasno means of livelihood, lo r she can no longerwork at the washtub, and her second son is anerrand boy, earning only a few shillings a week,

iO&T A CHANCE." There is just a chance that Tom may bein a boat ," She said, *' for when the " ten aregiyen boat Stations they generally have one ofeach class in a boat ."M r s . Ma y, of 75, York-Btrcet, told mc she hadboth he r husband and eldest son on the Titanic asfiremen," I have seven other younger childre n, ' shesaid, "besides my son Arthur . _ His wif e an dlitt! son, two months o ld , also live wj h u> sothere are ten of us here . Go d help JS !"The White Star Line announce that they ar eprepared to relieve .temporary needs of .relativesof th e crew at Southampton And settle legai pay-raenfs as soon as possible.All announcements as received ar e posted inMack ink on sheets of white ipaper a yard squarean d in letters thre e inches ieep, so that namescan easily be read .

CORRECTING THE LISTS.The following Gorrectitons were niade yesterdayafternoon to the official list, of survivors postedat th e West E n d branch of the White S tar Lme: FlKST CjJiSS.Mr. H. O. Chambers ; th eCountess of Rothes* maid.S E C O N D C L A S S . M i s s Margery Collyer.Names hitherto undecipherable were given as : S E C O H D C I ^ S S . M r . Mars hall , M iss Nelli eWalcroft, Miss Florence Ware.It is presumed that th e names ChandamSon,Olivia, Renaga, Eaaelt, Sogesser, Sercpca an dThor ar c those of iaids, an d Leseeur an d Stef-fanson valets .The following corrections ar e also made : " ReadKimberley as Kimball Panhar t as Anbert, Riger-son as Uyerson, Mr. anJ Mrs . "Ward as Miss AnnaWard , an d Mrs. Washington as Mrs. Washingt-mDodg e . "Miss Franca teili , whose name appeared amongthe first-class passengers, is stated to be Lady DuffGordon's maid.
