Mr.. MeuoenI Maintains that Granulated
Gnpkets Caused the Accident.
Tho official investigation into the recent 90
cident AT the Brooklyn Navy Yard was con-
tinued yesterday by the further examination OF
Chief Engineer Monocal, tho hoad OF the De-
partment of Yards and Docks. who gavo tho
order for the removal OF tho stone ballast in
the cnisson which was carried away.
Mr.. Menocal said that he was absent at the
time of the accident. Civil Engineer White
was in charge, and removed about ninety tons
of rock ballast from tho oaisson. Mr.. Menocal
was asked whether he would have left tho
casson in this condition over night or would
have thought II necessary to replacs the rock
ballast with temporary water ballast. He re-
piled. with some hesitation. that he wonld have
put in the water lallast, as he would have con-
sidered IL unsafe to allow the caisoon to rest In
the water without any ballast.
The witness added that he had consulted with
Naval Constructor Bowles ON July 81 IN relA-
tiOn to the work on the caisson. and had ask ed
him II II would be safe TO leave the caisson
without any ballast. Constructor Bowles had
replied that It would be safe. and the witness
offered a letter from Constructor Bowles to
him. he said. that the accident was due to the
Eranulation of tho rubber gaskets under ex-
cessiye heat.
At the afternoon session the evidence OF En-
Rn-ers Prindle and White was read to Mr..
Menocal. and he was ask ed II he agreed with them
He SAID that he did not and that the opinions of
engineers were constantly at variance. Mr..
Menocal said he believed he was right, despite
what other engineers might say.
