There is still an argument about that...surviving radio operator Harold 
Bride identified the last tune heard as "Autumn" which many took to be some 
old English hymn.  Later research indicated that Bride may have been 
describing a  European pop tune of 1912 called "Song d'Autumne" (pardon my 
bad French spelling).  Anybody have a record of THAT forgotten composition?

"Songe D'Automne" - I have it on a US Victor 78 from 1909, by the "Bohemian
Orchestra" - a European matrix - will have to dig it out and check the
details.
