Havirax, N. 8., Apr 7, 187 ‘The investigation intothe Atlantic disaster, was @resumed pursuant to adjournment at ten o'clock «this morning. ‘The-frst witness ealled was Cornelius L. Brady, Abe third oMcer, who testified as follows:—Was ytbira ofMficer of the Atlantic; my watch was Trom eight to twelve o'clock that night; we (the ¢ Captain and the four officers) were all conversant. .#rith the ship's position at one P. M.; bore off for Halifax; conrse N. 24E.; by compass there was on sthat course 9 easterly variatien by solar obser- -vation; Sambro at noon bore N. 5 E., distant 170 miles; in the afternoon had variable weather; firat ~ 8. E, with rain; then shilted to 8, W., cleared up and then to W. N. W.; fine with occasional passing clouds; brilliant starlight; at midnight, at the re- quest ofthe Captain, made out by the log slate the @ustance run since shifting our course’ at one oclock to be 122 miles; this calculation Js not always strictly correct, but is nearly so, and 4a corrected by our judgment; I did not look at the vharé, but I know the position of the ship, and that it was distant from Sambro forty-eight miles; weased a common log line, and it was hove every two hours; the speed of the steamer often varies considerably, from various causes, as from cur- rents, different qualities of coal used, &c.; I did vet know the number of revolutions the screw made, but by looking over the side I could * sell the speed that she was making within half a smile; the course was shaped to counteract’ the westerly set of the current; I have been to Halifax «twice before, but never to stop or lay here, and am not well acquainted with the coast; THE CAPTAIN'S ORDERS, when he went below, were to call him immediately Ul any change in the weather occurred, that is, if it became hazy or thick; both leads, patent and com- mon, were on the bridge, ready to be thrown at any time; the Captain did not give orders to heave the lead; x gars Ube Captain’s orders to the lourth . DMiicer and immediately turned in after being re- fieved; I did not know anything atterwards until the ship struck; my berth was in the alter end of ‘the ship; my room was locked, and the iourth offi- cer had the key; 1 had no means of getting “out; I ran on deck just as turned out of bed and met Quartermaster Williams; he was afterwards drowned; I asked him what was the matter; he answered, ‘My ‘God, the ship has gone ashore ;” I ran at once to No. 5 lifeboat (the Captain’s boat), on the saloon @eck ; my own boat had been stove during the pre- » “ious heavy weather on the passage; 1 got an axe ‘and succeeded in clearing the boat; while in the act of launching the boat the ship fell over on her © Bide; as near as I could judge it was only six or ; @ight minutes after she struck that she keeled over; when | found that she was going over I “ scram up and succeeded in getting into the « tmizzen ing ; finding that I was of no use I made my way forward, accompanied by ‘Quartermaster Owens and the storekeeper; I heard the Captain at the main rigging and called to him; 1 do not suppose he heard.ine in the coniusion; when I got forward | made out the rock in front of the ship, and thought that if | could get to the rock ‘could gave myself aud others; I unrove the star- board foretopsail vang, a new rope, and also the signal halliards; I took these on the outside of the ship, and sent Quartermaster Williams wita them to ie toreach the rock, but he failed, and we had to haul him back to the ship; I then sent rtermaster Speakman; he succeeded, and I immediately followed him; we hauled the stout rope by means of the vang to the rock, which ‘was about twenty-five yards, I suppose, from the ship; we hauled a number of men from the ship to the rock, but finding it GETTING OROWDED ‘we then made the rope fast to the rock and com- municated with the island by the same means, and this way saved a number of lives; on the island met ene and asked him ifi could communi- cate with Haitfax; he told me that there was no regular means of communication, and that I would have to send a messengeron horseback ; this I did, end went back to the ship; then the boats came; 1 remained on the rock, encourag- ing the people, and thus saved a number of lives. “Here the witness produced a diagram of the internal arrangements of the slip and showed that there was nothing to prevent the Bteerage passengers from getting on deck.) To my knowledge nothing was said or done to impede Oi the passengers in coming on deck; the state- ment that there was is absurd and incorrect; the Bteerage passengers were well acquainted with ail the ways of ingress and egress; from my own itive knowledge the passengers had every gpl: ity that was possible under the circumstances for reaching the neck; in fact,1 met some of them going up when I was making my way to the deck; &m positive that no orders were given or carried wut to keep the passengers below, Witness here produced another plan showing the Position of the companion way leading to the deck, of which many persons availed themselves in going tothe deck; during the time that I was on the Watch the ship may have been going faster at times than at others, but the speed was pretty uniform; Ido not recollect what the speed was befere we bore up, but it was increased alter that: Ido not know what the speed was when the vessel struck; the Captain did all that any man could possibly do to save life; I could distinctly see and hear him irom the rock exerting himself THE DEAD RECKONING, Cross-examination by Mr. Ritchie—The dead reckoning was always very accurate; no observa- tions were obtained during two or three days, but ‘We always ‘ound the dead reckoning very correct when we subsequently took observations; during the first watch that night, after we bore up for Halifax, the speed was {from eleven to twelve Knots per hour; the quartermasters generally | threw the log under the superintendence of the officers of the watch on duty; during my watch that night the log was thrown elther by Quarter- master Speakinan or Owens and reported te me tm making up the distance run as directed by the Captain; at twelve o’ciock that night Il used the Scrap log and slate; every time the log was thrown It was entered in the serap iogbook; I was satisfied Of its correctness and that the distance was made correctly. @ sailing directions of the Admiralty were here introduced, and the sailing directions of the Nova Scotia coast pointed out to the Court, It is there stated that S@mbro ligit should be visibie at @ distance of twenty-one miles, Ten miles south of Sambro soundings would give a deptu of at jeast lorty-tive fathoms. I went down to the wreck in a tngboat on Thurs- day and last night;1 saw the sambro light trom the tugboat and from the deck of one of the schvoners, but when 1 got about a quarter of a mile from the wreck Heunant Point just shut the light in; I did not notice this fact so much last might as I did on Me ebetag night. The life- boat speken of by Mr. Allanim his evidence given On Saturday could pot have been launched; all the modern appliances were on board the Atlantic » for Jowering the boats; the officers were all at their respective posts; the Captain was one of the most competent and efticient officers that lever « Sailed with; I know that THE PROVISIONS were wispected by government officers; Iwent to the wneck in a boat to take the Captain off, know- ing that he could not hoid out much longer, but he reiused to leave until had taken more -of the passengers of of the wreck; was much exhausted when taken and had to be supported in climbing the rocks when we landed; regarding Mr. Allan's #tatement of the condition of the crew, I may state, from my knowledge and experience of crews, that that ef the Atlantic was far better physicaily ana fully a# weil disciplined ag are the averag Re-examined by Commissioner McDorald—The , Captain, tue chief omcer and myself took the solar observation on Monday at noon; we all agreed in our result; hud a well-defined horizon; be esti- Mating the deviation caused by the carnemt I did not know the true course or force, but “the Captain allowed jor a northwest curnent; I do not know what rave of speed @he Captain allowed for the current; 1 knew that fhe currents on this course vary in force anid Ai- rection; no means were taken to ascertain me orce or direction, #0 far as I know; | did not cc@n+ re the speed a8 given by the log with the an neer’s estimate irom the revolutions of tue gine; I have otten found a great discrepancy et ween the estimated speed by the revolutons Ww a Whe engine and that given by observation or by the 3 be; tus discrepancy arises from the slipping o/ -@ We fav; the revolutions, therefore, cannot be waded upon; the difference frequeutly amounts to wouck as between vhirty and iorty per cent; THE LOOK-OUT MEN wee stationed at Nos. 1 and 2 bouses, and on the Mridge’, OB the side opposite to that on which the oficer in charge stoud.

He claiins to ve in « pusition to be certain in this mattey, having been on the ground all the ne. bat Court\then adjonrned till 2:30 P, M. THE FOURTH OFFICER. rhe court revumed the investigation at half-past | two o'clock. John Brown, the iourth officer of tne antic, testified as fellows: I joined the ship at . Liverpool on the previous voyage; the Captam g@bout one o'clock om Monday, directed me to alter fhe course to N. 24 E. lor Haliiax; at that time | mate was on the bridge; the night was cl 5 with here and there a eeping star, and not thic! before I left the deck I went to the weather side, and, shading eyes with my bands, looked for the light, but did not see it the open sea; it was 7 from tue time I left the deck till the strack; I did not let the boy go to call the tal I knew ehip not run any! like her distance of forty-eight miles; all the ot we were running in to make the shore; mo one in ine second oMeer that the distance had been run; one of the quartermasters asked me if he should go to the mainyard to look for land; I told him it was too soon; I can only account for the decrease of speed that they made it in clear- ing the bunkers below, or that ¢he coal was ofa pyind juality; one of the quartermasters was on he starboar side; the second officer was on the larboard side; I did not hear THE “ROUT”? OF THE SEA on the shore, probably because of the noise of the engines; 1 left the wreck abont nine o'clock on ‘Tuesday, and have not been there since; we must have been a E04 mile from Pennant Point when werunin; but I neither saw the breakers nor beard the “rout;” I was in the steerage at the time; I had not looked at the chart, and did pot know the coast; I have been at sea ten years and an officer three years; to my knowledge nothing was done to prevent the basscngere from coming on deck; the Captain did everything he could to save life, and was much exhausted when he reached the shore; none of the officers spoke of heaving the leads or stopping the ship; the ship was 2,376 ton register, 420 feet lon; feet beam; there were nine hundred and all told, on board; the crew numbered 146; the leads were not hove on account of the clearness of the night andthe certainty of seeing the light; I do not think the vessel after she struck Was aground astern. Cross-examined by Mr. Ritchie—I went below at quarter to three to inspect the steerage; I re- turned when this: duty was performed; the door between the wheelhouse and the chartroom was Open at two o'clock; the Captain was within six leet of the man at the wheel; the crew worked well; the Captain and other officers were very at- tentive and efficient; they were all temperate men. Cross-examined by Mr. McDonald—Ne cards or other games were allowed; it is not true that the Captain was playing cards half an hour before the ship struck; 1 did not think of such a thing as AN ERROR IN CALCULATION; the Atlantic would run twelve or thirteen knots at & fair rate of speed; she did not run at her full speed during the night before we changed the course for Halifax; she only ran seven knots; I do riot know what quantity of coal was on board when we left Liverpool. WILLIAM HOGAN, a steerage passenger, was then @: Shannon. He testified as follows 1 went to bed on the night of the disaster at nine o’clock and remained there until five bells (hall- past two o’clock) ; I went to the upper deck and jor awhile waiked up and down near the engine room; the night was extremely cold, but the weather was better than it had been before; I heard the watch call out three o’clock, and then went below; before I did sol looked out; it was partly for that reason I came on deck; I looked out on the side 1 afterwards found to be nearest the land; the sea was light; 1 neither saw nor heard any- thing to indicate the close proximity of land; almost immediately atter I iaid down for the second time I heard a feariul crash; the windows tnstan- taneously opened ; I looked through a port hole and saw the reck; my companion and myself made our way to the second deck; I do not know how we got up, because the concussion caused by the shock had knocked the companion ladder away; some of the passengers below cried out, “THE DOORS ARE CLOSED,” but I think they had in their hurry missed the place where the doors were; I found it very hard to get out; I positively believe that agreat many more would have been saved had the means of exit been more ample; there is, I think, only-room for one to get out at a time; I went to the side of the vessel nearest to the iand and reached the engine room by the time the steamer began to go over, and caught a rope; the ship turned over gradually for about half a minute and then sunk; all who had not hold of a repe or arail went down instantly; stopped on the ship untila boat came and took me off; the officers and crew all acted as good men would under the circumstances. Cross-examined by Mr. McDonald—I went on deck because it had been rumored that we shouid reach Halifax about half-past two; the rumor fheched originated in the preparations which had en made to cast anchor, &c.; I did not hear any of the officers say when it was expected the ship would reach port. JOSEPH CARROLL, ABLE SFAMAN, testifed—I went on the lookout on the night of the disaster at two o'clock; I Was stationed in No, 1 house, forward of the bridge; the night was calm, but a littie hazy, and the wind was right abeam; I could see out on both sides of the vessel; | was looking out for a light, as I knew we were making land, and that the coast was dangerous; I remained on the lookout till the ship struck; she was going pretty fast, I should judge aboyt ten knots an hour; about eight or nine minutes beiore the ship struck I saw the breakers Orst, and then the land on the starboard bow; I sung out “Breakers ahead |” to the officers on the bridge; I did not hear the breakers at all; I stood about thirty yards from the bridge; 1 am sure my of “Breakers ahead” was heard by the second ofMicer; do not think that even if the engine had been reversed the ship could have been prevented from striking; I never spoke to the officer be.ore giving warning; I remained on the lookout house until five minutes after the ship struck. Examined by Mr. McDonald—I received only the usual orders when I went on duty; alter 1 left'the lookout 1 went ait and helped to get the boats clear; the lookout house in which I was was about eight fathoms from the stern of the ship. PATRICK KIELY, ABLE SEAMAN, testified—At two o'clock on eerany morning I went on the bridge with the second officer; the latter told me to keep a good lookout for a light on the starbeard side; I did so; I kept a good lookout for my own sake; I have been thirty years at sea; Ihave Be ee on this coast when in the Cunard line; I knew that extra care was re- quired; when I saw the breakers I cailed out “Breakers or ice ahead!’ one of the quar- termasters saw them at the same time and told the second officer ; he immediately went to the telegraph and called out and gave the signal, “Full power astern; I did not hear any noise of break- e@; as near asican judge the ship was about a qifarter ofa mile from the breakers when I first saw them, Cross-examined by Mr. Ritchie—I know of no person calling the Captain; there were no stars, and the night was. + AS DARK AS THE GRAVE. Charles William Raylance, quartermaster, testi- fied—On Tuesday morning 1 was on duty in the after wheelhouse, where I remained till about seven or cight minutes before the ship struck ; I was looking out of one of the windows of the wheelhouse and fancied I saw breakers; I ran forward and asked the lookout man on the bridge, “Are those breakers?” he said he did not know whether they were ice or breakers; the second officer was in- stantly Informed, when he pulied the telegraph signal three times, and had not removed his hand when the ship struck; I cannot tell whether the engines were reversed or not; the ship waé run- ning at about nine knets; the night was very dark, and even aiter the ship keeled over it was hard to make out the land, The Court adjourned at six o’cléck until half-past seven. Evening Session. The Court resumed at balf-past seven P. M. Mr. Speakman, quartermaster, testified—I_ have Made nine voyages on the Atlantic; on Monday night I was on duty inthe wheelhouse from eignt to twelve o'clock: on leaving duty gave Reylson, whe succeeded me, directions about the lines, & which bad been made ready; turned in at tweive o'clock and did not return until the disaster; at that time I went on deck, ran aft and fired eight rockets; then I assisted in getting a rope to the rock; the. average speed of the Atlantic was from eleven to thirteen knots per hour; do not know her rata of speed previous to the wreck; Quartermaster Purdy hove the log at haif- past nine, and I think that he reported that the ship Was making thirteen knots per hour; at half ast eleven Owens hove the line; 1 held the glass; did not notice his report; we used to note the rate of speed on a siate and then report to both of- fticers of the watch. ROBERT THOMAS, QUARTERMASTER, testified—I wus on duty between tweive o'clock and the time the ship struck; my duty during the first two Lours Was to make coffee for the oflicers and clean the brass work; went down, got the cofee, and gave it to the officers at hali-past went to the second ofticer and remarked that the sip ought £0 stand to the southwest, and chat she had run the distance necessary make Gambro light at one o'clock the previous day; got the latitude and longitude of the ship position air! also the lautude and longitude of Halifax; this iniermation I got from a cabm passenger and made the calculations fm tay ows mind. Witness submitted a caoulation made in pencil. Estimated that the ship had rum from eleven to twelve kuots per hoar, and according to that esti had passed the ight. Witheds then repeated the worde he addressed fo the secoud ofmicer. The latter, he said, fovles that he was not captain and I was mot mate, al he could not do as he pleased; he was standing in company wivh the boatswain, Lang, Who was drowned, on the port side of the ship; I then asked Mr. Brown, fourth oMcer, if I siouldgo to the main yard and look for the land; he answered “Jt is no use; I then said, n pick up the land more readily thay any other man, as I have veen ON THE COABT BRFORE;” we were running seven knots; the o was fie creased afterwards, and at four o'clock the speed ‘was eleven knots per hour; I then went below and yemnained pill six o'clock; when 1 again came on ‘ I knew the character of the coast, having visite: Hailfax in 1865; T told the fourth oficer he oud not Jeel the land antil he struck upon it; I then took my & at the wheel; at three o'clock the Weather hewan to set in a litte hazy; avour that “SAVE MB;" I told her to wait uli | came back; when I returned with the axes I took her and her boy up to the saloon. deck; when I heard Mr. Brady cry out, “Where are the axes?” I called out they had all been distributed; I was cutting away the star- board boat» when she listed over; Mr. Purdy, another quartermaster, was with me at the time; he said to tne, ‘Thomas, will you come and swim ra knew | ashore with me?” I said, “Not yet, I am going to save Mooney’s mother ;”’ he then wished me good- by; be was the first man who leit the ship for the ;.after | saw Mary Mooney and her boy swept away I thought I wouid try to save myself; I took of my coat and jumped overboard and safely reached the shore, Gross-examined by Mr. Ritchie—After one o’clock Icalculated that the ship had run 144 miles; the wind about two o'clock was south and pretty even astern, but variable; when the second officer called the Captain he said it was getting thick, and Sam- bro light was not yet in sighs when the ship struck the second officer and the Captain were both in the chart room ; I did not notice any person standing onthe bridge; 1 cannot say if I was fourteen miles from the p:ace where ‘the ship struck how Sambro light would bear or the course we ran, but I looked straight ahead; when Mr. Brady called out, “Where are the axes? I did not see him; this was the ‘third or fourth voyage I made in the Atlantic, at haif-past one A. M. 1 judged we were fourteen miles from Sambro light; at one o'clock on the revious day I estimated that we were one hun- red or one hundred and seventy miles from Sambro. Cross-examined by Mr. McDonald:—I spoke to ‘the second officer as I did because I felt very un- easy; I knew the coast was difficult to make out, for when 1 was in Halifax before, in the City of London, I remembered that the aay sometimes went very slow—sometimes at half speed— and that the lead was hove every ten minutes; I did not notice that any sleet fell on Tuesday night; do nét think that the ship was in a condition to run thirteen knots without canvas; I have now reason to believe that my previously expressed be- lief that the ship had run her distance was correct. To Mr. Ritchie—I have heard that there is a cul rent on this coast in the Winter time running from three and a half to four knots; I cannot tell how it sets, and I made allowance for it in my calculation. JOHN FOXLEY, CHIEF ENGINEER of the Atlantic, testifled—At noon, on the 31st of March, the Captain sent Mr. Brady to me for an account of the speed of the engine during the twenty-four hours; the Captain was in his chart room; I made up the statement and took it to him. (The statement was here submitted by the Cap- tain, who had it in his pocketbook, and was identified by the witness,) The statement gave the speed, the coal expended during the day, sixty tons, and the coal remaining, mas; the Captain said we were about 480 miles from Sandy Hook and 170 miles from Halitax; there was @ southwest swell and falling “glass; he called the chief oiticer, told him what quan- tity of coal was on board, and asked if it would not be advisaple‘to put the ship about for Halifax; we all agreed thatas the barometer was falling it would be advisable to put about for Halifax; she was making little headway; the Cay tain was afraid we might get within about eighty miles of Sandy Hook,when the coals would about be expended; after the ship was put about at one o’clock ‘we commenced to ciear two more fires 80 that we would be able to keep sharper steam on; from one P. M. till midnight she was going a littie faster than she had been when we put about; at pS Iturned in, leaving my subordinates on uty. Cross-examined by Mr. Ritchie—The fourth and fifth engineers were on duty at tne time of the ac- cident; they were on duty from twelve o'clock ; the fifth engineer was lost; EIGHT HUNDRED AND FORTY-SEVEN TONS OF COAL were put on board at Liverpool; there were 120 tons on board from the previous voyage, making the total 967 tons; we used about 80 tons before starting on the voyage; our average con- sumption was sixty-nine tons a day; we had been eleven days oyt when we bore up for Halifax; the consumption was greater than usual because the COAL WAS MIXED, ENGLISH AND WELSH; this was my nineteenth voyage in the Atlantic; I Joined her as third engineer and was raised; this ‘was my second voyage as chief; we consumed about the same quantity of coal this time as on the last voyage; on that voyage we had & much larger quantity than this time— probably 1,200 or 1,300 tons; Wwe were out thirteen days and had 129 tons when we reached New York; it was all put in for the use of the ship; the highest rate of speed the Atlantic could make in favorable weather was twelve and half and thirteen knots an hour without sail; her average rate of speed from the time we bore up for Halifax was ten and a half or eleven knots; pre- Vious to the last two voyages we had all Weis coal on the passages to New York; I heard the chief engineer say the.average consumption was filty-nine or sixty tons per day; | know it was less than when we used mixed coal. Re-examined by Mr. Ritchie—What I said about the high price of coal being the reasvn ior taking no more on this voreae is only my opinion; if we had twelve days’ full supply we could by reducing the speed, say from twelve to nine knots on the tenth day, we could make it last a little longer; we always RAN AT HBR BEST SPEED, generally fifty-iour pounds of steam; when we re- duced our consumption of coal we had from. fifty to fifty-four pounds; Liverpool we had thirteen days’ full supply of coal, but we consumed eighty tons on the river; the regular bunkers held 767 tons. ‘rns ended Mr. Foxley’s evidence. The Court adjourned at eleven o'clock until to-morrow at nine A.M., when the chief and fourth officers will be re- called by the collector, Captain P. A, Scott, formerly of the Royal Navy, now Chairman of the Canada Board for the Exami- nation of Shipmasters and Mates, arrived here on Saturday night, and sat with the Collector of Cus- toms during the investigation. An Interview With Captain Williams. A reporter had an interview to-day with Captain Williams on several points brought out during the Investigation RerorTer—Captain Williams, it has been re- ported in Halifax that when you left Liverpool you intended to call here for coal, and that prepara- tions were made here to supply the Atiantic. Is that so? WILLIAMS—No. It is utterly untrue, 1 had no intention of coming here until the engineer re, ported the coal running short. RePoRTER—How do you account for the extraor- dinary consumption of coal? The English man- agers say the Atlantic had a much larger quantity on board than she usually consumed, WILLIAMS—Probably that is true as to the quan- tity; but about halfol it was English, which is of inferior quality, Whereas we generally use Welsh coal. Had all the coal been Welsh the quantity would have been more than sufficient to carry us to New York, REPORTER—What about the provisions ? WILiIaMs—We had an ample supply of all stores except salt for the Catholic passengers, On the Friday pre jous to the wreck they had com- plained of the scarcity of fish. Rerorter—You have sald your observations on Monday placed you 170 miles from Sambro at one P.M., and the snbsequent logging gave the position as forty-eight miles south of Sambro at midnight. Morris Head, where the ship struck, is said to be seven miles further west. Do you consider that the error was Jn your observations or in your logging ? WiLLiaMs—In neither; both were, I am sure, correct; but the strong current running nerth and west carried us beyond distance and caused tbe disaster. REPORTER—Then, do you say the ship ran fifty- five miles between midnight and when she struck, a few minutes after three o'clock ? WILLLAMs—No; from our position at midnight Sambro Light and Merris Head were about equally distant, forty-eight miles. Iméan to say that the ship, impelled by the current, ran that distance between midnight and when she struck. ReEPORTER—Then the current was the precise canse of the disaster ? WiLLIAMS— Yes, LATER FROM THE WRECK. Hawtrax, N.8., April 7, 1873. The divers at work to-day report the vessel most awkwardly placed. Two of them went into No. 4 batch, but found no light ou the upper deck. The passengers and cargo are so mixed that the bodies cannot be got at. Two girls were found lying in their beds in the lower after steerage.
