struCted by telephone the wireless Oper-
ator at Sea Gate to notify them to that
effect.
Mr. Samms said ne did not write any
Of the messages which have been quoted.
He declared that. as these messages were
not sent to the ship until just before she
docked. the promise of remuneration for
their stories could in no way have af-
fected the sending Of news OF the dis
aster from the Carpathia.
In vain did the chairman try TO put
words into the mouth of the witness, and
in other ways to commit him to the
proposition that his action was repre-
hensible Neither could he induce Mr..
Sammis 10 admit that the MarConi com
pany was blameworthy because it did
not pay its operators a higher wage.
Mr.. Sammis insisted that he had done
nothing he was ashamed Of and when
pressed to say that he was proud. he
said he was gratifed that he had secured
such generous remuneration for those
boys, who in one instance had endured
great hardship and in the other had
worked indefatigably after the Titanics
survivors had been taken aboard the
Carpathia.

could work with another operator or the
same company with much greater ra-
nidity than with another even more shii-
fuI operator unfamiliar with the system
Mr. Sammis admitted that there might
he disadvantages about permitting oPer
ators TO sell accounts of their expert
onces but he believed any law governing
the matter should be framed with ek-
trone care. as otherwise It might oper-
ate disadvantagcously.
Bride. when recalled. said he had re-
ceived 81 OOO for his story, and Cottam
testified that he had received 500.
Fourth Officer Boxhall added little
that was now 10 the record. Because Of
considerable confusion az TO differences
in time. the chairman thought for time
that fifty-ive minutes had elapsed be-
tween the Titanic's collision and the
sending of the first distress call, but
after consultation with his expert ad-
yisers IT was found that all the evidence
practically agreed that only eighteen
minutes had elapsed.
Senator Smith REQUIRED TO the subject
of the "watertight compartments on
the Titanic when Mr.. Boxhall was on
the stand. but as he was obviously labor
ing under a misapprehension as to what
they were. he gained little information.
He was anxious TO know If persons
might not have perished through taking
refuge in these compartments, and also
whether these compartments would not
have kept the ship afoat 'if their cell
ings had been watertight."
