CAPE RACE, N.

The steamer said that immediate assistance was required. Half an hour afterward another message came reporting that they were sinking by the head and that women were being put off in the lifeboats. The weather was calm and clear, the Titanic's wireless operator reported, and gave the position of the vessel as 41.46 north latitude and 50.14 west longitude. The Marconi staion at Cape Race notified the Allan liner Virginian, the captain of which immediately advised that he was proceeding for the scene of the disaster. The Virginian at midnight was about 170 miles distant from the Titanic and expected to reach that vessel about 10 A. M. Monday. 2 A. M., Monday.---The Olympic at an early hour this, Monday, morning, was in latitude 40.32 north and longitude 61.18 west. She was in direct communication with the Titanic, and is now making all haste toward her. The steamship Baltic also reported herself as about 200 miles east of the Titanic, and was making all possible speed toward her. The last signals from the Titanic were heard by the Virginian at 12.27 A. M. The wireless operator on the Virginian says these signals were blurred and ended abruptly.

HALIFAX, N. F. April 14---A wireless dispatch received to-night by the Allan line officials here from Capt. Gambell of the steamer Virginian, states that the White Star liner Titanic struck an iceberg off the Newfoundland Coast and flashed out wireless calls for immediate assistance. The Virginian put on full speed and headed for the Titanic. No particulare have been received as to the extent of the damage sustained by Titanic. The Virginian sailed from Halifax at midnight on Saturday night, and would probably be 800 miles off this coast when she picked up the calls from the TITANIC for assistance. The Allan liner has only about 300 passengers on board and would have ample accomodations for a large number of persons in case a transfer from the Titanic was necessary. The Virginian is a small steamer, and so able is not likely to take the Titanic in tow.
