PHILADELPHIA, November 1S.-The in
veStigation BY the United States local in
spectors Of steam vessels at this port into
the collision OF the steamer Champion with
the Lady Octavia was begun to-day. The
officers and crews OF both vessels have
been summoned to attend, and the inquiry
was commenced to-day with the testimony
| Of the commander OF the Champion, Cap
tain Il. w. Lockwood. This officer detailed
the scene ut the time Of the collision and the
measures he took subsequently to prevent
loss OF life. He had been of duty'abo at
ten minutes when the collision occurred,
but had not got TO sleep. He heard the cry
Of % Sail ahead" and when he got on deck
he saw 4 ship approaching not more
than hundred yards away. He saw no
lights on the ship and had no time to look
TOR one. He rang bis bell to stop his own
vessel, but had hardly stopped her Roadway
when the collision occurred. Being asked,
:. here did you strike the ship?" Cap
tain Lockwood answered: g We did not
strike the ship. The ship struck us just
abaft the stem. just ahaft the bow. She
struck us Mt about IN angle Of 40. She
| went into our ship about twenty or twenty
| five feet to within twenty feet OF the fore
East" Captain Lockwood then explained
BY means Of modes the positions OF the
vessels, and stated that the holes on either
side Of the Lady 0ctavia were made by her
passing through the bow Of the Champion.
| The engineer and seaman OF the Cham
pion also testified, when the examination
was closed until tomorrow. The survi-
vors OF the steamships crew are present,
and their testimony. which will occupy
several days, will be presented.
The members OF The British court OF in
quiry also. investigating the collision, to-
day visited Cramps ship.yard and made
personal examination Of the ruptureS done
