line only Il few months ago with Il
captains license, said this afternoon
that he believes the Titanic disaster
oane through Il misunderstanding of
conditions upon the sea and orders on
the part of the officers on the bridge
and that. no wireless communication
was established between the Gunard
liner and the Titanic as early as re-
ports indicate. In speaking Of the
terrible disaster Capt. Hough said:
Anxious For Reports.
From the fact that I have sailed
more than 800 trips off the Grand
Banks in practically the identical spot
where the Titanic met her fate, l an,
more than anxious to get reports of
the disaster. About five years ago
while was chief officer on the Sam
land Of the Red Star line 1 met with
a collision in almost the same place
accident was nothing serious, how
ever.
AT this time of year off the Grand
Banks icebergs are plentiful and the
boats have considerable trouble dodg-
ing them. An iceberg $50 feet high
will only be about 'onc-third out of
the water and in trying to steer the
ship out of the way the pilot is liable
to striket he iceberg square in the
middle, as he has no way of know
ing how far the ice extends under the
water.
Tho officers on the bridge at this
season have clouds on the water to
battle with, too. and 1t may be that
the. officers took the iceberg in this
case to be n huge cloud. The at
mosphere in the region where the
floating ice is so thick is usually very
heavy and clouds form on the water.
A ship sights these clouds when off
at a considerable distance and car
only determine whether it he n cloud
or an iceberg by making frequen.
tests of the temperature of the water.
In this case possibly the officers did
not take the temperature of the sea
as often as they should and they
struck the iceberg. thinking they wer.
