is 12 years old.

They did not know their son intended to spend the Easter holidays at
their home at Haverford, Pa. until they were informed of his death. John
Lewis Hoffman, also of Haverford and a student of Yale, was killed with
young Ryerson.

The two were hurrying to Philadelphia to escort a fellow-student to his
train. In turning out of the road to pass a cart the motor car crashed
into a pole in front of the entrance to the estate of Mrs. B. Frank
Clyde. The college men were picked up unconscious and died in the Bryn
Mawr Hospital.

G. Heide Norris of Philadelphia, who went to New York to meet the
surviving members of the Ryerson family, told of a happy incident at the
last moment as the Carpathia swung close to the pier. There had been
no positive information that young "Jack" Ryerson was among those
saved--indeed, it was feared that he had gone down with the Titanic,
like his father, Arthur Ryerson.

Mr. Norris spoke of the feeling of relief that came over him as,
watching from the pier, he saw "Jack" Ryerson come from a cabin and
stand at the railing. The name of the boy was missing from some of the
lists and for two days it was reported that he had perished.

CAPTAIN ROSTRON'S REPORT

a rescue ship with survivors of the Titanic disaster, she sailed again
for the Mediterranean cruise which she originally started upon last
week. Just before the liner sailed, H. S. Bride, the second Marconi
wireless operator of the Titanic, who had both of his legs crushed on
a life-boat, was carried off on the shoulders of the ship's officers to
St. Vincent's Hospital.

Captain A. H. Rostron, of the Carpathia, addressed an official report,
giving his account of the Carpathia's rescue work, to the general
manager of the Cunard Line, Liverpool. The report read: "I beg to report
that at 12.35 A. M. Monday 18th inst. I was informed of urgent message
from Titanic with her position. I immediately ordered ship turned around
and put her in course for that position, we being then 58 miles S.
52--E. 'T' from her; had heads of all departments called and issued
what I considered the necessary orders, to be in preparation for any
emergency.

"At 2.40 A. M. saw flare half a point on port bow. Taking this for
granted to be ship, shortly after we sighted our first iceberg. I had
previously had lookouts doubled, knowing that Titanic had struck ice,
