Mr. Arthur William Barringer, son of Mr. William Barringer, of 15 Thoday Street, Cambridge, was a Steward on the Titanic. It is hoped that he may be among those of the crew who were rescued, but his name has not appeared among the survivors. Mr. Barringer, who was 34 years of age, and has a wife, had been at sea for 15 years, and had served on the Briton, the Norman, the Guscho, the St. Paul, the New York, the St. Louis, and the Olympic. He was on the last named vessel at the time of the collision with the Hawke, after which he, with the captain and several of the crew, transferred to the Titanic. He last came to Cambridge two years ago.

Cambridge man aboard
It is feared that a Cambridge man was among those who lost their lives, and great anxiety is felt by his parents, who live in Cambridge, and relatives and close friends, as to his safety. We refer to Mr. A. W. Barringer, a native of Cambridge, who went out on the Titanic on her maiden voyage in the capacity of steward. on Wednesday his wife, who lives at Southampton, and has two children, telegraphed to her husband's father to the effect that she had not then received any news as to whether her husband was alive or not. Nothing definite had been heard up till last (Thursday) night. Mr. William Barringer, the father, lives at 13 Thoday Street, Cambridge, and is an ex-constable, having served for twenty-five years in the Borough Police. He is now employed at Histon by Messrs.. Chivers and Sons.
Mr. Barringer, jun., left Cambridge some fifteen years ago, when he joined the Union Castle Line at Southampton. He was afterwards connected with the American line, and for some years he has been employed by the White Star line. Among the famous vessels on which he has held the position of steward are the Adriatic and the Olympic.

A Cambridge Victim

The greatest sympathy is felt with the relatives of Mr. A. W Barringer, whom as reported in last week's issue, was amongst those who lost their lives in the terrible Titanic disaster. The deceased, who was on board in the capacity of a steward, was a Cambridge man, his parents residing at 13, Thoday Street. He leaves a widow and two children to mourn their loss. At the evening service at St. Philip's Church on Sunday, Mr. Barringer's favourite hymn, ''Lead Kindly Light,'' was impressively sung.
