she was far enough of to avoid all chance OF
collision.
The schooner, if without lights, was running
criminal risk But it is the law that all
steamers shall give way to sailnG-vcsseiS'
though it is by no means certain that this law is
always obeycd. The evidence, rs in all cases
Of collision, is full OF conflict nnd contradiction.
II seems impossibe to accept the statement OF
the First Officer and the lOokouts save on the
assumption that a very insufficient lookout was

plicable on any other hypothesis. II, on the

no doubt is often donr) chances were taken on
running across her bows, the whole disaster
would appear comprehensive.
There is some discrepancy in the evidence
about the state of the doors in the watertight
compartments. The question whether col
liSion at the point where the Oregon was struck
could have 80 let in water as to drown the near
est boilers ont. if no compartment doors had
been open between the bOilcI-rOOm and tie
leak ought To be capable of settlement by
reference to the plan of the steamer. Captain
Cottier appears to have behaved very well. No
responsibility for the collision can be placed
upon him. and his coolnrSs and ciear-hcaded-
ness doubtless prevented serious mischief
threatened by the cOWirdcc and TuillanISm OF
the iircmcn. Fortunately for the passengers
several vessels were promptly at hand, and the
finrness of the weather removed all danger
But though SD far a. human life j. concerned
the wreck of the Oregon has ended so happily,
there can be- no doubt that it is calculated To
shock and startlc the travelling public, and
this Notwithstanding the splendid record of the
Cunard Company. The idea that on these
magnificent vessels any risks are taken, when
coupled with the proof that their iron sides and
their collision bukhead1 and compartments

point even by Il loaded schooner, must cause a
demand for the adoption Of mDIe Trustworthy

One of Secretary Whitney's experts has
regancd his sca-'egs after remaining in port
several weeks. Captain Steele under the
inyigortng influence of the Boston climate
has sufficiently recovered from his collapse on
the Dolphin to look at the log of that famous
cruise in search of a storm. What now
aSt0nishes him is the official evidence that
there was exceptionally fine weather through
out the voyage and nothing like gale of wind,
and that the small sea met with in the Gulf
Stream would not have materially started any

TIE SINKING or THE OREGON

We print this morning additional particu-
lars of the sinking of the Cunarder Oregon
by a schooner. The loss of this fine vessel
under such circumstances was happily not
rendered agical by a sacrifice of human life,
though one can but Shuddcr to think on the
probable outcome had such collision occurred
during gale of wind. But the facts thar the
weather was clear and fine and the sea smooth,
that the night, or IA her eaIy morning was
staIlt, and that the steamer was supposed to
have on watch forward three Trustworthy LOOK
outs beslues tie officer in charge stationed on
the bridge, render the occurrence Of the col ision
so remarkable that very strong testimony is
needed to relieve some one on the steamer from
the charge OF culpable negligence. The state
ment of the First Officer, Matthews, who was in
charge of the Oregon at the time, is to the
effect that he and the lOOkOuts caught sight Of
the schooner almost ut the same moment of the
port bow that what attracted his and their
attention was the apparent swinging or waving
of a white light, probably a lantern, on board
of her; that she was then not more than 80
feet from the steamer; that he instantly gave
the order to put the helm hard aport that this
was DONE but that before the Oregon could
answer her helm the crash came.
The loOkouts corroborate the First Officer
They say that they only saw the schooner a
moment before the collision, and that they
shouted to the officer on the bridge. The
quartermaster who was at the wheel, however,
tells a story which conflicts with that of Mr.
Matthews. lie says that he received no order
to shift his helm before the collision that this
order was not given until the mischief had
been done Perhaps it does not make much
difference whether the helm was shifted just
before or just after the collision. If the
schooner was only fifty yards from the Oregon
when first seen, no movement of the wheel
could have averted collision. But what is
not easy to understand is the failure of the
OregOn'S people to see the schooner earlier. 1t
is asserted that she had no regulation lights
out. This may have been the case. But a
three masted schooner with all sail set ought
to be visible a considerable distance, even
without any lights, on a fine starlight night,
and no competent lookout would be excusable
for failing to see her and point her out when

Il was easy to account for tho structural
weakness Of these three able bodied experts
under the storm theory. 1t was no mystory so
long as it was understood that the wind was
blowing sixty miles an hour that high sea
was running and that Captain Meade had put
ner hy. But il becomes II mystery OF the
dcnsrSt sort when it is Il scOyered that the
newspapers raised the only storm there was.
There were the three experts stretched IN their
hunks in the statcrooms for twenty four hours,
when by the log there was Il smooth sea ana
calm weather. " Yes, we were all sick i" said
Captain steele; and yet there was nothing like
gale of wind but exceptionally fine weather
throughout the run. Every member OF tie
Board had been tOucd amdShipS, yet there
wasn't a sea that would start coaSting
steamer. If it be hard to understand why the
experts were seeking the scclusion which the
cabin grants when bark was sailing idly by
with royals set like "a painted ship upon
painted ocean, it is certainly past finding ont
why they were swinging de'palringly in their
bcrths when the lighthouse tender of llatterlS
was gIyy riding the seas with a three-ton
buoy.
Il must be remembered, however, that the
Dolphin from beginning to end has been as
mysterious is any Flying DdtcHman. The
ordinary rules of navigation cannot be applied
to her. What passes rs a cranl-pn on another
ship is a journal in her mechanism; the rattle
of glassware ON a cabin shelf is an uncrrng
sign of structural weakness; her speed can
only be a>certaincd by patent taiirIll log;
and her >eaworthncs> eau only be tested when
she is sent out in search Of cyclone. The
Dolphin is very queer craft and strange,
intxpcable things aIc always happening TO
her. There is the log and there is the threc-'Qn
buoy; and We suppose that everybody VIII
have to admit that the newspapers raised the
storm ana that the experts were scaSlck during
