The Captain remains for the present at Ham

out OF the shock to his nervous System
Inc physicians encourage the hope that hg
will soon be restored to health.
The captain details the events following the
collision which occurred while he left the bridge
for few moments to visit the chart house and
examine the course He exonerates the first
officer, FraDzeD, from blame. Respecting the
conduct of officers and crew after the collision,
the captain continues: 81 can only speak in
terms OF highest praise. My orders were car
fied out calmly and effectually. The report
that some OF the crew ATTEMPTED to save their
personal property and neglected to attend to
the proper equipment of boats, or to the safety
OF the passengers, IS, according to my informa-
top, utterly unfounded. I saw q passenger
hurl an iron cornered Golfer clear from the
