Saves Dogs While Passengers Perish

Worcester Evening Gazette

New York, April 19- A narrative of the disaster to the Titanic as prepared by one of the stewards of the rescuing ship Carpathia contains the following:

"One of the earlier boats to arrive was seen to contain a woman tenderly clasping a pet pomeranian. When assisted to the rope ladder and while the rope was being fastened around her she emphatically refused to give up for a second the dog which was evidently so much to her."

The steward further says that a survivor told him that one woman declined to leave the Titanic because they would not take off a pet dog belonging to her.
