Pilot and Second and Third Mates Accused of Failing in Duties ‘Three officers of the steamship Governor, rammed and sunk by the land off Potnt Wilson at 12:04 a m April 1, are held to biame by United States steamboat inspectors for the collision that resulted in total loas of the palatial passenger verse! and the snuffing out of eight liven, five steer. Sg passengers and three members | of the crew, Capt, Harry Marden, pilot of the Governor, Ernest Kellenberger, sec: ond mate of the Governor, and Arne Hage, third mate of the Governor, are accused in the report of “inat- tention to the duties of their sta- | tions,” as a result of which the fatal collision occurred. ACCUSED PILOT IS SEATTLE MARINER Capt. Marden lives at 5124 Mead st, Seattle, Kellenberger is at pres- ent in San Francisco, and Hage is in Tacoma, The findings of the board of inquiry, which consists of Capt Donald 8. Ames and Harry Lord, United States steamboat inspectors, were mailed to the three men Mon day. If the accused men plead guilty to the charges, they face one of three {penalties: They may be reprimand. led, may be suspended, or many have {their licenses taken away. In event, however, that they plead not guilty, they may stand trial be- fore the steamboat inspectors. No date for arraignment has been set, but under the steamboat law | the men will appear at their “earliest convenience” to enter plea. } The report of the investigators |completely exonerates Capt. P. | Bartlett, of the Governor, and Capt. |John Alwen, commanding the West | Hartland. Both officers are praised |for their conduct during the emerg: ency. FAILED TO INSPECT | APPROACHING LIGHTS Capt. Marden, it is charged in the |report, was guilty of inattention to the duties of his station in that he failed to “leave the pilot house, the windows of which were closed, in re- sponse to the report of the lookout land bridge quartermaster that cer: tain lights were in close promixity.” Mate Kellenberger, on watch with the pilot at the time of the collision, and officially in charge of the Governor, is charged with fall ing to keep proper lookout after re- leving the third mate to take the watch from midnight to 4 a, m. Third Mate Hage, in charge of the Governor up to midnight, Just four minutes before the crash came, is blamed for not leaving the pilot lhouse In response to the lookout’s lreport of lights near by. | These lights were the lights of lthe West Hartland, which was |rounding Point Wilson on her way out to sea with a cargo of lumber. ‘The Governor was coming to Se attle with a large list of passengers ‘There a slight mist, but the night was clear enough for the lightkeeper-at Point Wilson to see |the vessels a mile and a half away, after he had been aroused by the crash. The West Hartland's steel smashed into the Governor's about 200 feet from her stern. The Governor sank within an hour. The | West Hartland brought the surviv- lors to Seattle the same morning.
