News reached Tralee this evening of a terrible accident which has
occurred in Mid-Atlantic. The Titanic, the largest ship afloat, left
Liverpool on her maiden voyage on Wednesday last and got a good
send off and right good wishes from a huge crowd of sightseers and
friends.
So far as has been ascertained, up to the present, there are several
liners and sailing ships coming to the rescue of this sinking of
colossal machine. It is also determined from wireless telegraph messages to
hand that the cause of the dreadful catastrophe was a submerged
iceberg, which collided with the bottom of the boat. It is further
suggested that owing to construction of those recently built Leviathans
that an accident even so terrible as this could not prove immediately
fatal, owing to the airtight tanks with which all those ocean monsters
are fitted.
We expect later intelligence which we will publish in our next issue.

The Titanic was so seriously damaged that the passengers--over
1,470 in number--were at once transferred to the Parisian and the
Carpathia. Fortunately the sea was calm, and the operation was
completed early yesterday morning.
The Virginian, so far as can be gathered from the fragmentary
Marconigrams, then took the Titainic in tow, and attempted to get her
to Halifax or to the beach near Cape Race. The liner, however, had
been too severely damaged to keep afloat, and she sank at 2:30
(American Time) yesterday morning.

In Sligo we have not been saved from mourning as four promising young men and
women have given up their toll to the ocean. One of the saddest cases is that
of our fellow townsman, as we may almost call him, Mr. Alfred Middleton of Ballisodane.
Mr. Middleton had a very important position on the Titanic and had very probably
a brilliant career in front of him. His loss will be deeply regretted by the
Sligo people, with whom he was deservedly popular, and the greatest sympathy
will be felt with his bereaved and sorrowing family.

A list of [Titanic] survivors published today contains no reference to the names
of Mr. Patrick Colbert, Kilconlea, Abbeyfeale (Not Limerick as given) Mr. James
Scanlon, Rathkeale, nor of other young men said to have been on board from East
and North Kerry. Pat Colbert, for whose parents and family the greatest public
sympathy is felt, was until his recent departure for the States, a porter at
the railway station here (Abbeyfeale) and a young man noted for his industry,
intelligence and temperate habits.

THE TITANIC DISASTER
Young Clare Man Lost
----------
A telegram received in Ennis during the week
confirmed the worst fears that had been entertained as to the safety of a young man named Martin
McMahon, from the Craigbrien district, about five
miles from Ennis. It was known that he was a
passenger on the ill fated boat, and though his name
did not appear in the list of survivors, it was hoped
he might have been rescued, but it is now definitely
stated he has been lost. He was a fine athletic young
man and very popular in his native district.
It is said that some West Clare people were on
board, but our enquiries failed to trace their names
and addresses.

BANSHA LADY'S ESCAPE
-------
SECOND LAST TO LEAVE THE SHIP.
---------
INTERESTING LETTER
-------
(From Our Correspondent.)
Clonmel, Friday.
Miss Katie McCarthy, daughter of Mr. Patrick McCarthy,
farmer, Ballygurtin, midway between Cahir and Bansha, has
written home to her father, stating that she was the second to
last to leave the Titanic on the night of the memorable tragedy.
It will be remembered that Miss McCarthy left home in
company with Miss Katie Connolly, of Tipperary ; Miss
Katie Peters, Ballydrohid, and Mr. Roger Tobin, Ballycamon,
the latter three being near neighbours of hers.
Miss McCarthy's letter, which is written from New Jersey,
where she is now with her sister, is as follows:--
"About twelve o'clock on Sunday night Roger Tobin called
us to get up, but told us not to be frightened, as there was no
danger. To make sure, however, of our safety, he told us to
get lifebelts. There were three of us in the room--Katie
Peters, Katie Connolly, and myself. When Roger Tobin called
us I wanted them to come up on deck, but they would not
come. They appeared to think that there was no danger. That
was the last I saw of them. I then left the room, and on going
out I met a man from Dungarvan, who took me up to the
second class boat deck, where they were putting out the
boats. I was put into one boat, but was taken out of it again
as it was too full. I was in the last boat to leave the ship, and
was the second last person put into it. This was a short time
before the ship went down. We were only just out of the way
when the ship split in two and sank. We remained in the boat
all night until near eight o'clock next morning, when we were
rescued by the Carpathia. Our boat was so full I thought it
would go down every moment, and one of the boats capsized
when we were leaving the sinking ship. I did not, however,
feel at all frightened, and did not fully realize the danger and
the full nature of the awful tragedy until I was safe on board
the Carpathia. When we were put on board the Carpathia we
were immediately given restoratives and put to bed. I slept for
an hour and then got up, feeling all right. When we landed in
New York on Thursday night at eleven o'clock we were met
by a number of Sisters of Charity nurses, who took us up to
St. Vincent's Hospital, where we were treated with the
greatest kindness."

ECHO OF DISASTER
BOAT PICKED UP
BODIES ON BOARD
New York, Wednesday
The White Star Line has received a marconigram from the Oceanic, dated
May 13th, latitude 39.56, longitude 47.01, reporting that she had picked
up a collapsible boat of the Titanic containing three bodies. One boy was
apparently that of Thomas Beattie and the others were a sailor and a
fireman. They were committed to the deep.
In the boat were also a coat with letters addressed to Richard N.
Williams; a can marked "Dan Williams," and a ring with the inscription,
"Edward and Gerda."
The collapsible boat is the one mentioned by Mr. Lowe in his testimony at
Washington as that from which he took twenty men and three women,
leaving three bodies.--Reuter.

The Titanic's Tralee Doctor.
------
FRIENDS TO HONOUR HIS MEMORY.
Queenstown, Monday.
It is a pleasure to know that the many memorials which
are to be raised in connection with the Titanic disaster,
the popular Irish physician, Dr F N O'Loughlin is not to
be fnetotten. In him the White Star Company lost the
doyen of their medical service--their loved
Commodore, one of the most lovable of men. Although
well advanced in years, Dr O'Loughlin was full of the
ardour of youth. He knew no dull moments and always
looked at the bright side of things.
One of the last scenes on the deck of the Titanic is
said to have been a sad one, namely that of a group of
officers, including Dr O'Loughlin, the two pursers of
[sic] their assistants, and some others, all joined in arms
waited the final plunge of the great ship they were on.
The following notice of the proposed memorial to Dr
O'Loughlin appears in the "New York Herald".--
"As a memorial to the late Dr William Francis Norman
O'Loughlin, surgeon of the Titanic, friends in New York
have put under way a movement to establish a
pathological laboratory at St Vincent's Hospital, Seventh
avenue and Eleventh-street. For this institution, Dr
O'Loughlin had a special affection, and to it he sent his
patients when in port."
Already several subscriptions have been promised,
and the committee hopes that the many friends of Dr
O'Loughlin in America, Ireland, England and France will
join in the project. A tablet is to be placed in the
laboratory commemorative of Dr O'Loughlin's life and
heroic death, and expressing something of the affection
in which his memory is cherished.
A Tralee Surgeon's Memory Honoured.
------
REQUIEM MASS.
In the University College Chapel, St. Stephen's Green,
Dublin, on Monday, the memory of a former student of
the old Catholic University (of which the present
institution is the legal successor), Dr Wm F N
O'Loughlin, was honoured by a solemn Requiem Mass
for the repose of his soul. Dr O'Loughlin was chief
surgeon of the ill-fated ship Titanic, the details of whose
loss on the 14th April two continents are deeply
interested in. He went down with his ship at the post of
duty. He was well known to the older alumni of the
Cecilia Street Medical School, who held him in high
esteem. The Rev Dr Hickey, Dean in residence, was the
celebrant of the Mass. The choir was composed of
clericals and students, and Mr Dillon Kelly presided at
the netan.
The Rev P J Walsh, M.A., delivered a brief panegyric
of the deceased doctor. The wreck of the Titanic, he
said, was the most appalling and disastrous in the history
of the mercantile marine. Dr O'Loughlin was commodore
surgeon in the service of the White Star line, a
distinguished student of the Catholic University of Ireland.
In 1869 Mr O'Loughlin completed his course at the
Cecilia Street School, and one would naturally expect
that he ought to have received from his University a
medical degree. But the Catholic University had neither
public endowment nor a charter from the Monarch
enabling her to confer degrees. He could obtain no
medical degree from his own University. To Trinity
College, a Protestant institution by its general flavour and
complexion, he would not go, and consequently, like
many another distinguished Catholic student in those
days, he obtained no University degree, but only a license
to practice. He became a licentiate of the King's and
Queen's College of Physicians in Ireland. Dr O'Loughlin,
though he protested against the continuance of Protestant
domination, did not in private complain of the bar to
professional advancement which the sacrifice he made
might have entailed. Had Dr O'Loughlin survived, the rev
preacher felt confident that he would receive a degree from the National University--a medical degree--against
obtaining which in his student days his uncompromising Catholicity had been his only bar.
There was a large congregation. Among the clergy
present were:--
Right Rev Monsignor Fitzpatrick, Very Rev Dr
Watters, Very Rev N J Brennau (Blackrock College),
Very Rev J Cogan (Terenure), Very Rev T O'Hanlon
(Rathmines), Rev Canon Dunne (Clonliffe College), Rev
G O'Neill, S.J. ; Rev W F Byrne, O.C.C. ; Rev M
Dwyer, Rev P J Hooke, Rev Prof Shine.
Among the laity were:--
Sir Christopher Nixon, Vice-Chancellor National
University ; Dr D J Coffey, Right Hon Dr Cox, Sir
Joseph M'Grath, Mr A W Conway, Mr Swift M'Neill,
K.C., M.P. ; Mr A M Sullivan, K.C. ; Prof R Donovan,
Prof Cadic, Mr Hugh MacNeill, B.A. ; Dr J F Knott, Dr
M'Walter (Alderman), Mr J W Bacon, Dr P J O'Farrell,
Mr W S Meade, F.R.C.S.I.
[Dr W F N O'Loughlin, the senior surgeon of ss
Titanic, and who went down with her on the morning of
the 15th April, was born in Tralee. He was second son of
the late Mr Wm O'Loughlin, and grandson of the late Mr
Benjamin Mathews, of Nelson-street, Tralee.]

HARRY LAUDER'S TOUR.
----
INTERVIEWED AT QUEENSTOWN
Queenstown, Sunday
Engaged at a salary which many men of eminence
in the world of statesmanship or other pursuits would
not reach, Harry Lauder left Queenstown for
America to-day to fulfil contracts in many of the
principal centres of America. The astonishing success
of this comedian and the prices he can command for
his services have made many comedians realise that
there are still mines of hidden wealth in their
profession, but Harry Lauder still holds pride of place
in his line, and during his recent engagement in
London his comicalities were as great a draw as ever,
for nearly every night numbers had to be refused
admission for want of space in the Tivoli, where he
was appearing.
On his forthcoming tour in the States, he will, as
usual, be accompanied by his wife, who is a
passenger with him on the Lusitania, but his wife is
not the only companion he has, for he takes with him
a secretary and manager as well. Owing to his
indisposition some time ago he has to guard against
the effects which his popularity causes, and though he
looked quite robust in the Lusitania to-day he
evidently is husbanding all his forces with extra care.
His programme in America will include his latest
successes, and some past hits. He is to be nine
weeks in all touring the principle cities from New
York to Chicago. He hopes to be back in London on
10th of March. He was, he said, feeling very well just
at present, but he could only hope for good health by
being very careful and cautious.
And then, as a departing message, he added: "Say to the
kind folk in the ould country that I send my kind regards,
and I hope everyone of them will have a jolly Christmas and
a happy new year for auld lang syne."
While the Lusitania was at Queenstown many telegrams
and letters were received wishing the best of good luck to
the comedian and safe return home.
SIR ERNEST SHACKLETON
----
INTERVIEWED AT QUEENSTOWN
----
Interviewed at Queenstown, Sir Ernest Shackleton told
your correspondent on board the Lusitania, that he was
going to America on private business, but purposed
delivering a few lectures while there. He intends returning to
England about the end of January. Asked as to what he
thought of Capt Scott's expedition, he said he considered it
most important from a scientific point of view. Of course, he
continued, Amudsen has discovered the main geographical
features south east of the Beardmore Glacier. Asked if he
intended visiting the North or South Pole in the future, Sir
Ernest said he had not given up the idea of further
exploration in the South, when private affairs permit. Asked
if science would not gain immensely from a further
knowledge of Polar regions, he replied, "Certainly,
especially metereology." He considers that within a few
years we can predict accurately Australian weather. Sir
Ernest also said he does not understand where the terra
Nova lately landed a party on the ice ; perhaps the news
cabled alludes to the fact that the ship has been cruising
away from Christchurch. the headquarters since returning in
March from the ice.

THE GALE
----
STEAMER'S TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
----
TWO LIVES LOST
----
IRISHMAN A VICTIM
----
London, Friday Night.
The steamer Duchess of Cornwall arrived at Falmouth
to-day and reported having experienced a terrible time
in a gale off the Lizard on Thursday night. She was
making for Falmouth to repair some damage when a
tremendous sea struck the steamer. So heavy was the
impact that the steamer's funnel was torn away and
washed overboard. All the boats were smashed, the
fires put out, the cabins gutted, and the skylight smashed
in. Large volumes of water found their way into the
vessel's hold.
The wave washed the chief mate, Mr. W. Walquest,
of Cardiff, overboard, also a seaman named Martin, of
Wicklow, who was steering at the time, both men being
drowned. It was only the heroic work of the engineers
and stokers that saved the ship, for they worked up to
their knees in the water and kept the fires going.
Captain Yeo had a very lucky escape from being
hurled overboard. He was standing on the bridge with
the chief mate, and only left to examine a chart in the
chart room when a big sea struck the steamer. The
Duchess of Cornwall has six feet of water in No. 4
hold.
STEAMER DAMAGED
London, Friday Night.
Signals of distress were sent up eight or nine miles off
Hastings. A lifeboat made several attempts to get afloat,
but was unable to launch owing to the heavy gale and
heavy seas. To-day it was ascertained the vessel was
the Bedechurn of Newcastle. She had lost a propeller,
and after beating to the eastward was taken in tow by
a tug.
WASHED UP BY THE SEA
HEADLESS AND ARMLESS BODY
London, Friday Night.
A headless and armless body was washed up at
Hastings to-day. Sea-boots were on the legs.
-------
The absence of any news of the steam yacht Wild
Rose, which was lying opposite Queenstown for several
days before leaving on Saturday last for a French port,
continues to cause grave fears, and not without reason, as
she was not the likeliest vessel to weather the storm
which burst soon after she left. A French captain and
Southampton crew had charge of her. Official inquiries
regarding her were made here to-day. The tug Hibernia,
of London, which took the four-masted barque Marion
Lightbody in tow from here for Limerick on Sunday last,
is still unaccounted for, but she met bad weather often
before, and always weathered the storm successfully. She
is likely to have done so again, and is probably taking
refuge somewhere. The two buoys which broke adrift in
the outer harbour cannot be replaced for the present.
GALE IN IRISH SEA
----
SCHOONER'S THRILLING EXPERIENCE
----
WORST SEA EVER WITNESSED
London, Friday Night.
A Southampton telegram relates the thrilling experienes
of the Dorothy Watson, a three-masted schooner of 200
tons, during the recent gale. The crew of the vessel were
brought into Southampton to-day by the Clyde Shipping
Company's steamer Garmoyle, which came to their
assistance on Christmas Eve. The Dorothy Watson,
which belongs to North Shields, was then proceeding to
Glasgow with a cargo of china by way of the Irish Sea.
The terrific gale rendered the vessel unmanageable, as it
was impossible to set sufficient canvas to enable the
vessel to be properly controlled. The captain of the
Garmoyle made repeated but unseuccessful efforts to
take the schooner in tow. Ultimately the vessel had to be
abandoned.
Coming up Channel the Garmoyle had renewed
experience of the gale, the captain declaring he had never
previously witnessed such seas in the Channel.
FEARED LOSS OF A SHIP.
London, Friday Night.
Lloyd's Penzance Agent telegraphs--Sundry wood
wreckage was seen floating by a lifeboat and a steamer
from Scilly, off Wolf Rock, and near this coast, to-day,
consisting of bulwarks, stanchions, etc.; also the dead
body of a woman. There was nothing about the wreckage
to identify what ship it comes from.

SEAMEN INJURED
London, Monday.
The Italian steamer Trento, bound from Newport,
Mon., to Genoa, which was towed into Southampton
this evening in a crippled condition, had met with terrible
weather in the Bay of Biscay. Her steering gear broke
down, and for hours she was at the mercy of the waves;
lifeboats were smashed, bulwarks and deckhouse bridge
were carried away, nautical instruments washed out of
the chartroom, and the forepeak filled with water. Capt.
Schiaffino, who was on the bridge two days and two
nights, and four other members of the crew, were swept
off their feet by one mountainous wave and all more or
less seriously injured.
RESCUED FROM DANISH STEAMER
Penzance, Monday.
Captain Orbech, of the Danish steamer Volmar, and
the members of the crew who were rescued after being
in an open boat seventy-two hours, are making good
progress towards recovery in Penzance Hospital.

QUEENSTOWN, Feb. 19--The Italian Ship F. S. Ciampa, with all her
crew, was lost in a gale off Dunwoody Bay. The wreckage came ashore
to-day. It is understood the crew numbered twenty, and some of the
bodies have been recovered. The F. S. Ciampa was a three-masted
freighter owned by F. S. Ciampa, and hailed from Castellammare, Sicily.
She was built in Glasgow in 1886, and registered 1,478 tons net. She
sailed from Mexillones, Oct. 9, for Falmouth, England.
