DENIES He IS WORM
PUBLIC HAS PAINTED
Can't. Lord of Californian Tells
of Circumstances Surround
ing Titanic Disaster.

NEWPORT NEWS. Va, August 3O.-In
a personal letter to close friend in this
city. Capt Stanley Lord. late master OF
the steamship Californian. and who was
so severely censured the world over for
not going to the assistance of the Titanic,
declares himself most uniustly treated.
He says:
There is not word Of truth in the
report I wouldn't go to the assistance of
that ship and l am not the worm the
public is trying to make me-
He says 1.-The issue of the report of the
court presided over by Lord Mersey to
inquire into the loss Of the Titanic ends
a compulsory silence on my part on
points raised in the course of the pro-
ceedings which affect me as the late mas
ter Of the steamer Californian. and it is
duty I owe to myself and my reputa-
tion as a British shipmas ster to do what
! have hitherto been prevented from do
ing. Tor obvious reasons, in giving pub
hclty to circumstances which the inquiry
iailed to elicit and at the same time to
show that the deductions which have been
drawn rejecting upon my personal char
acter as seaman are entirely un-
founded"
Tells of Circumstances.
He sets forth that at 1920 the night OF
April IA. being in ice, he ordered his ship
stopped till daylight. The wireless oper-
ator, after a full days work, retired at
11:3O after warning all ships in the vi
cinity. including the Titanic. of the ice.
The captain left the bridge at 1910 in
charge of the second officer
On that night he lay in sight of a ship,
he says. but it was not the Titanic, be-
cause she steamed off at / :15, whereas
the Titanic did not move after midnight.
This ship showed no distress signals and
ignored his Morse signals.
Ignorant of Accident.
He knew nothing of the accident till
morning, and then rushed TO the scene. He
says the ship sighted by the Carpathia
in the morning was not the Californian.
He says "the evidence is conclusive that
none of the responsible officers Of the
Californian was aware Of the serious
calamity which had taken place. That
any seaman would willfully neglect sig
nails of distress is preposterous and un-
thinka BILE"
