I do not think any were reported during my watch on deck, or I should have heard it. I was on deck on Sunday morning from 8 o'clock until noon, and I was on again from 4 until 6, and then I was on again from 8 until the time of the accident. I can not get the day, but it was probably a couple of days before, when we had a radiogram from the captain of La Touraine, giving his position at 7 o'clock Greenwich time, and I worked out our position at 7 o'clock Greenwich time and wrote out the time for Capt. Smith, that those positions were of no use to us because they were absolutely north of our track. You will understand these French boats do not keep the recognized tracks we do.
French boats are always to be found to the northward.
Therefore I plotted all these positions out. He had gone right across the Banks. I would not like to say any distance. He had gone across the Banks, and we did not get on the Banks, at all. It was put down just as carefully as I should have put it down if it had been on our course.
