The question has been brought up as to the area of this double skin whether It extended up the sides of the vessel, as in the case of the Lusltanla of the Cunard line. Diagrams indicate that the Titanic's double bottom was not so great as that of the Lusltanla, and opinions have been expressed that with two "skins" (ns ship peoplo call them) at the sides as well as for the bottom, the edge ot the loe-berg that ripped open the Titanic might not have done such terrible damage.

Navy Yard authorities declare that such discussion 1b not relevant. They say that It matters not whether the Titanic had double sides as well as a double bottom. They say that she might have had triple skies and explosion bulkheads and still could not have remained afloat after running nearly full speed over the jagged ledge of "While It may be true that the Lusltanla Is better protected than the Titanic was," said a naval officer, "there Is no daubt but that this ledge would have ripped open the Lusltanla the same way.

In the hospital were several foreigners who, throuerh Interpreters, told Cardinal Farley ot their escape from the Ill-fated White Star Liner and their subsequent rescue.

Cardinal Farley was in the institution more than an hour. He was met in the hospital by members of the relict committee, who were supplying survivors with clothing. He was told by the authorities of the Institution that more than forty of the survivors had left the instluion during the day. More than sixty were in the hospital last night. The Cardinal expressed his regret at not being able to visit the institution earlier In the day and comforting those of the rescued passengers who had left.
