"Oh, no; they obeyed my orders
and all the passengers said Il was
mad idea to go back; that we should
add another forty to the list OF
drowned. Then we took the oars and
lay quiet"
When Pitman yielded to the impor-
tunities OF the passengers he did not
turn back to see, but merely pulled
in his oars and drlfted.
Describe the screams"
Don't, sir, please. I'd rather not
talk about IT,"
I'm sorry to press it, but what
was It like? Were the screams inter.
mittent or spasmodic?"
1T was one long continued moan"
Means Continued an Hour.
The witness said the means and
cries continued an hour and that he
made no effort to go to the rescue.
you drifted near the drowning
people and made no effort to give
them aid?" asked Senator Smith in
surprise.
please, sir, don't" pleaded Pit
man. q can't bear to recall it. 1
wish we might not discuss the
scene"
81 have no desire to lacerate your
feelings said Senator Smith, but
we must know whether you drifted
there without offering aid. Answer
that and l shall press you no more. -
81 did, sir" answered the witness.
Story of the Lookout.
Frederick Fleet, who was the look.
out in the crows nest of the Titanic,
said that on Sunday night some time
after 10 o'clock he reported black
mars of ice ahead to the officers on
the bridge. How long this was be-
fore the collision the lookout could
not say.
Fleet said he took his watch at 10
o'clock. Sailor Leigh was with him
in the crows nest.
Fleet said the man he relieved told
him to keep a sharp lookout for small
ice.
Did you see any ice?"
Gave Warning of the Ice.
yes. At seven bells (11:3O p. m.)
I reported a black mass ahead"
How long before the collision did
you report the ice ahead?"
1--WE NO idea"
What did you do when you saw
the iceberg?"
81 sounded three bells and then
telephoned to the bridge that there
was an iceberg ahead" replied Fleet.
Shortly after the incident he and
Leigh were relieved.
WAS it five minutes or an hour
before the collision that you saw the

would mean their own destruction,
he said, 30 that after starting in the
direction of the cries, he rescinded
his orders and waited for dawn.
Twice he begged to be spared a re.
cital of the facts, but Senator Smith
pressed him.
The opportunities and activities Of
a squad of photographers today so
aroused Senator Smith that he indig-
nantly ordered them all excluded
from the chamber.
This inquiry is official and SOL
emn," he said in explanation, land
there will be no hippodroming or
commercializing of 1t. / will not per-
init it,"
An amateur photographer managed
to slip past the guard later, but was
elected summarily when he sought to
get snap of the scene.
J. Bruce Ismay, managing director
of the International Mercantile Ma
rine, and Vice President p. A. S.
Franklin of the White Star Line, ur-
gently requested the committee to
permit tmem to return to New York.
In the executive session the COM
mittee declined to allow either to
leave Washington until he is no lon
ger needed Ismay was to have been
recalled to the witness stand today,
but may be recalled tomorrow,
though this has not been determined.
Those Cries from the Sea.
Chairman Smith of the committee
pressed Pitman regarding scenes
after the sinking of the ship.
81 heard no cries of distress before
the ship went down." he said.
How far away were the cries from
your lifeboat?"
Several hundred feet probably,
some of them. 1 told my men to get
the oars and pull toward the wreck,
that we might be able to save a few
more. The people in my boat de-
INJURED. They said it would be a
mad idea"
did anyone in your boat urge or
appeal to you to go back toward the
wreck?"
mo, not one"
did any woman urge you to so
back?"
mo"
"Who demurred, the men with the
oars?"

STEAMER NOT STOPPED WHEN
WARNING OF ICE WAS GIVEN

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Like the
missing horseshoe nail that cost a
monarch his kingdom, the failure to
provide binoculars or spyglasses for
the lookouts on the Titanic was one
contributing cause of that ships loss
and, wiwth it, the loss of more than
1900 lives.
The witnesses before the Senate
investigating committee today agreed
on this. They we're Frederick Fleet,
a lookout on the liner, and Major Ar
thur Godfrey Peuchen, Canadian man.
ufacturer and yachtsman, who was
among the rescued passengers.
Fleet acknowledged that if he had
been aided in his observations by a
good glass probably he could have
seen the berg into which the ship
crashed in time to have warned the
bridge to avoid it. Major Peuchen
also testified to the much greater
sweep of vision afforded by binocu-
lars, and as a yachtsman said he be-
lieved the presence of the iceberg
might have been detected in time TO
escape the collision, had the lookout
men been so equipped.
1t was made to appear that the
blame for being without glasses did
not rest with the lookout men. Fleet
said he asked for the glasses at
Southampton and was told there were
none for them. One glass, in a pinch,
would have served in the crows nest.
Criticism BY Yaehtsman.
Major Peuchen criticised in strong
terms the lack of experienced sailors
on board the Titanic. He said that
when the call to quarters was sound
ed not enough of the crew responded
to undertake the work required in
lowering and filling the boats.
Furthermore, he said, no drills had
been held from the time the ship left
Southampton, although it was GUS
tomary to hold such drills every Sun
day.
Herbert j. Pitman, third officer of
the Titanic, told of his failure to turn
back the lifeboat, in which he and
his passengers were idly drifting, to
attempt the rescue of others when
the Titanic went down.
Shuddering at the recollection, he
said the cries for help made zone long
continuous moan" The passengers in
sisted that to go back to aid them

peratlon.
Il don't know. sir" said the wi,
ness obdurately.
IL wish you would tell the commit
tee whether you apprehended danger
when you sounded these signals?"
"All we have to do in the nest is
ring the bell, and If we think there is
danger we telephone" said Fleet
Then you did think there was dan.
ger when you rang the bell?"
81 thought the berg was pretty
close, but It didn't seem 80 large
when first saw it."
How large them"
About the size of two big tables
But 1t got larger as we went along
and when we struck it 1t was about
fifty or sixty feet high above the
water"

Where did the iceberg strike the
ship"
"On the starboard bow, about
twenty feet from the STEM" Fleet
answered.
Fleet said that when the collision
came there was little impact and
