It also was at variance with those who preceded him on the stand in two other important particulars. Farrington said he saw antennae fall a considerable Be had returned to deck from the “glory hole,” where the pump mechanism 1s || situated.

Gewekin swore it was sent and Neff heard it sent, but the for- mer admitted that when the radio was restored to working order he made no further attempt to transmit it. The men testified they discovered the rasio || antennae down immediately after be- ing driven from their house by the heat after the S O S. Gewekin was accused by Capt. Charles Lyons, steamboat inspector pre- slding at the hearing, of having on his own initiative cancelled the master's call for help. This he denied. The radio antennae on the basis of Far- rington's recollection came down some- where near 7:30, while, according to Gewekin's sworn version, it had been re- stored and in working order not long after that time.
