DEAD IH fl CHI 01
DECK OF THE BMC
Special Cable to The Atlanta Qeorglan.
QUEENSTOWN, IRELAND, Sept.
The death ship Baltic of the
White Star Line, bearing: the body of
Mayor William J. Gaym , of New
York City, arrived in port at 4:25
a. m., bringing: fresh details of the
famous American's death.
The stateroom occupied by Rufus
W. Gaynor, son of the late execu
tive, was roped off and guarded by a
cordon of ship’s stewards. It was
explained that young Mr. Gaynor was
overcome by his father’s death and
h-ad been suffering intense mental
anguish for nearly 48 hours.
Officials of the consular office m
Queenstown visited young Mr. Gay
nor and later viewed the body of his
father, which hud been temporarily
prepared and lay in a stateroom.
Officials who had entrance to Ru
fus Gaynor’s stateroom said that the
young man had not slept an hour
since his father’s sudden der.th at 1
o’clock Wednesday afternoon. Nor
had he eaten anything. He has been
constantly under the care of the ship's
physician.
When Mayor Gaynor embarked for
a sea voyage on Thursday, September
4, it was known that his physical con
dition was run down. Mr. Gaynor
showed signs of weakness, but after
the ship had been at sea a few days
he seemed to grow better. He spent
much of his time alone or with his
son.
Seemed To Be Improved.
Officers of the Baltic, it was learned
here, repeatedly asked Mayor Gaynor
if they could not perform some spe
cial service for him, but the sick man
would reply: “If you treat me as well
as you treat others. I’ll be satisfied.
I am only a passenger like the others.
I am content.”
The morning of Mayor Gaynor’s
death the sick man seemed in better
spirits than usual. He walked the
deck for some time in the warm sun
shine, accompanied by the small son
of one of the passengers. A warm
attachment had sprung up between
the tall, grave, gray-bearded man and
the little 3-year-old boy.
Mr. Gaynor had been telling the lit
tle fellow storlefc about some of the
big fish which live in the sea and
laughed heartily at some of the ques
tions which came back to him.
Shortly before 1 o’clock Rufus Gay
nor went below to look after his fa
ther’s luncheon. He returned shortly
to find his father huddled up in a
deck chair. Young Mr. Gaynor
thought at first that his father was
sleeping and shook him gently by the
shoulder. The pallor of the recum
bent man’s face caused his son to be
come alarmed and the ship’s surgeon,
Dr. Hopper, was called. He Immedi
ately pronounced Mayor Gaynor dead
from heart failure.
Although Rufus Gaynor realized
that his father's condition of health
was serious, he was completely
stunned by his parent’s sudden death.
It was all he could do to write the
wireless message which was received
In New York City yesterday morning

bv Robert. Adamson, Mr. c a.vnoi s
Dr. Hopper, who was more or less
acquainted with the history of Mayor
Gaynor, said that his constitution
steadily had been declining since he j
was shot by a maniac in Hoboken, N. j
J., three years ago. Mr. Gaynor’s
frame was emaciated, and Dr. Hop
per said that it was only by the most
tremendous exertion of will power
that the dead official could have held
himself to his tasks.
The death of Mayor Gaynor cast a
pall of gloom over the ship. All the
dances and other festivities on board
were canceled and the passengers
adopted a resolution of condolences,
which they tendered to Rufus Gay
nor.
The male nurse who accompanied
Mr. Gaynor to attend to his physical
comforts, and who seldom left his
patient’s side, said that the Mayor
seemed to be suffering, but never
complained.
Did Not Discuss Politics.
The last words he is known to have
spoken were addressed shortly before
his death to a person who asked how
he wag feeling.
“I am feeling very well; thank you,”
replied Mr. Gaynor.
Mayor Gaynor did not discuss poli
tics on the voyage, saying time and
again that his trip was for complete
rest and that he did not intend to
bother his mind about political af
fairs or municipal problems for a
fortnight.
Many came to the conclusion that,
in addition to taking the voyage for
rest, Mayor Gaynor also took it as a
means of getting a fortnight of semi-
seclusion in which he might think
out his own course In the fall cam
paign In New York, decide upon Is
sues and, In brief, settle all political
questions upon which his mind had
been in doubt.
If the Mayor felt that his end was
near he did not show it. He left no
message for the world.
Mrs. C. N. Williamson, the well-
known writer, who was a passenger
on the Baltic, said that Mayor Gaynor
appeared in the best of health and
spirits.
“He died with a smilo upon his
face and a look of perfect content In
his eyes,” said Mrs, Williamson. “His
death was the most beautiful that ore
would ever see. Hi3 face was turned
upward to the sun, his hands were
clasped beneath a steamer rug His
life on board had been very quiet. He I
kept much to himself In his cabin.
Occasionally he walked the deck with
his son. He became the chum of
the little son of one of the passen
gers and they spent some time to
gether In the warm sunshine. Mr.
Gaynor must have had a large fund
of children’s stories, for he kept the
tot interested every minute of their
time together. Mr. Gaynor appre
ciated music and attended the con
certs regularly.”
The plan of transferring the body
to the liner Cedric on a tender was
abandoned. A grim coincidence in
this connection is that Mr. Gaynor
had planned to return on the Cedric.
There was a Miss Gaynor on the
passenger list and a Mr. Whalen, but
it was officially denied that the
young woman was a relative of
Mayor Gaynor. She Just happened to
be of the family name. The Gaynor
party consisted of Mayor Gaynor, his
son Rufus and the male nurse.
Gaynor’s Body to Come
Home on the Lusitania.
LIVERPOOL, Sept. 12.—All plans
tor the Immediate shipment of the
body of the late William J. Gaynor
to New York were made here to-day
by the United States Consul. The
Baltic was scheduled to arrive this
evening at 7 o’clock with the body of
the dead American on board.
Arrangements were made with the
Cunard Line to transfer the body to
the Lusitania, which will probably ar
rive at New York next Thursday. The
Lusitania will not sail until to-mor
row, which will give ample time for
the embalming of the body. A local
undertaker supplied a casket at the
request of the United States Consul.
The first official honors w’ere paid
to the memory of the late Mr. Gaynor
here. The Lord Mayor of Liverpool
to-day ordered that the town hall,
appropriately decorated this morning,
should be tendered as the resting
place of Mayor Gaynor’s body until
the Lusitania sails to-morrw. When
the casket is taken to the Cunard
pier it will be escorted by a cortege
of mounted police.
A cordon of police will watch be
side the body during the night.
The United States Consul here will
take a leading part In the ceremonials
attending the shipment of the remains
to-morrow.

den taking off.
The recent resignation of John
Purroy Mitchell, now candidate for
Mayor, from the presidency of the
Board of Aldermen, and the sudden
elevation of. Mr. Kline, vice chairman
of the board, to the Mayor’s chair,
