would show up luminous. 1t was a
starlight night when the Titanic sank.
Where were o on Sunday, April
IA? At 1880 a. m. ships timer
I'VE were at 41.25 n. 51.14 w"
Tell us anything unusual that oe-
Cured Sunday and Monday
Eat 1890 a. m, on the 18th. I was
awakened by the Marconi operator, who
told me that the Titanic was sending
out c. @. d. messages, and that she
had hit an iceberg. The Titanic's posi-
ton was given as Ala n, 51.24 W., in
the c.. G. D."
Did you make any reply?"
None whatever. We didn't want to
interfere with the messages going out"
After getting the message he turned
the Mount Temple to the point indi-
Gated. After laying a course on his
chart. he told the chief engineer to do
his best, even if it were necessary to
give the firemen a Tot of rum" to
make them work.
How far were you from the III
tanic?"
well, got another message from
the Titanic. giving her location as Alas
", 50.14 W., ten miles away from the
first location. To hat location I
steered. That would mean the Titanic
was forty-nine miles away"
What speed did you Make"
Eleven and a half knots an hour"
The captain told how he had doubled
the lookout and doubled the officers on
watch.
Senator Smith explained to him the
evidence of many persons who said
they had seer a light on a ship five
miles away Captain Moore said it was
undoubtedly a tramp steamer. which he
had seen, and which had laid a course
that would locate her five miles from
the Titanic at the time the big ship
went down.
Captain Moore old how he had to
go slowly after 1925. still steaming
toward the Titanic's location. The
tramp steamer was then in sight.
About the practicability Of search
light to seek out icebergs, he said that
searchlights were always used by Brit
ish warships to pick their way through
the Suez canal or tortuous channels,
and that in his opinion they would be
a valuable aid in ice fields.
Passengers in your vessel say that
they saw rockets from the Titanic sun
day night, did you hear that?"
Il have read it in the papers. but as
a matter of fact there were no pas
sengers on board"
The captain said that he saw no
rockets. His testimony dissipated
largely the theory that the Mount Tenn
pie was the vessel whose lights were
seen by the passengers of the Titanic.
Captain Haddock, Of the Olympic,
did not realize that the Titanic was in
a bad way. Captain Moore read
a message he picked up from the Olym-
pic to the Titanic, Are you coming
south to meet us?" and the reply was.
I'VE are putting women and children
into the boats"
The Olympic answered that it was
lighting up all boilers. The wireless
operator Of the Mount Temple had
sent a memorandum to the Titanic
containing all the messages that
passed to and fro over the sea.
One of these memoranda said the
Frankfurt, of the North German Lloyd
line, appeared to be the nearest to the
Titanic from the strength of the Mar
conf signals. Captain Moore said he
heard the Titanic talking to the Frank
furt. The Frankfurt operator said he
would tell the captain at once when he
got the first C.. G. D.
'Oh, yes, quick replied the Titanic.
