From the evidence there appears to have
been no danger anticipated until Ave or
ten minutes before the ship went down.
II appears that there was good discipline
maintained on board In the deck and en-
gine departments, all orders having been
obeyed, and we, therefore, can attach no
blame TO Third Officer Hansen. Capt
Taylor was In charge on the bridge OF
his steamer all the morning OF May q un-
III she foundered. and IL may have been
that he was attempting to keep her off
before the sea or to steer her around on
the other tack when she was caught
In the trough of the sea and thrown On
her beam ends. But without his testi-
money, or that of his first officer and the
chief engineer Of the steamer II is i'm
possible TO decide the true cause Of the
disaster"
