Rule said scouts were sent to look for women and children, but they looked only on one deck and then returned and said there were no more, Then Durst Officer Murdock told the men to fill the boat. There was then @ rush of men for the boat. Sir Rufus Isaacs: “You knew moro women and children were on board?” Rule replied: “I imagined ao.” Sir Rufus Isaacs: “Then you did not obey the order that women and children were to go first?” Rule; ‘We were ordered into the doat.”* TO FIND WHY BOATS DIDN'T RETURN.

It te understood that women passen- gers will be called to testify to the ac- tion of some of the crew who escaped in the boate. It also came out to-day that the watertight compartments for practically three-fourths of the length ef the ship were opened by order of the engineors upward of an hour after the @hip struck and were never closed again.
