From
rhs Result of the Investigation Of
the Pacific Disaster.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. IL.

San CISCO, Ja1. IL.
The proceedings of the secret lnves-
tigation of the Pacific di>asterb v Cap
Waterman and James Hillman,
United States inspectors, have been
made public. They report thai the sc-
was the fault of the officers of
the Orpheus on account OF steering
wrong. The inspec ors are unable Ia
account for the failure of the Pacific to
stop and back when the collision be
came imminent, and find it MAS I'M
possible to take steps for the proServa-
ton of life after the collirion on account
of the panic among the passengers.
Cap ain Waterman justities his course
as inspector OF Hulis bv saying thaC
the Pacific was perfectly seaworthy.
The effect of the collision upon her is
accounted for by tho fact that she gave
the blow with the bluff of her bow,
where the space between the frames il
in steamers from l2to20 inches, where
~ in vossals ii is not more than from
three to six inches. The tinbers also
are smaller and the whole construc.
ton lighter. They are therefore much
weaker. The opinion il expressed
that the same effects might have been
ex experienced if The Pacific had been a
new vessel instead of an old one,
