SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 3.-During
the official inquiry into the wreck of

weeks ago, direct charges of coWardlce
and desertion were mS1e against f.
Farrar and P. Hamilton, masters OF the
Hattie Gage and Kayak, which We're
towing the Star of Bengal when the
wreck occurred.
Captain Nicholas Wagner, Mate Jo-
hansen and several members of the
crew testified before federal inspector
that the blame of the loss of the ves-
sci and Ill lives rested upon the tow
boat captains.
Their testimony was to the effect that
the tugs had made no effort to save
the lives on the Bengal but had re-
NAMED away a period of thirty hours,
during which time the ship was driven
ashore.
Captain Wagner affirmed that there
was a period of two hours after the
Bengal had been cut adrift during
which every life might have been
saved.
ALT Olsen, a seaman, testified that
the towline of the Hattie Gage had
been cut on board the tug.
Captain Wagner has been directed to
| swear to his charge before the inspector
at Washington. The accused towboat
captains will then be prosecuted for
