 T think probably one of us said good evening first-I don't remember who said it first" said Lighthollder Then we talked together generally for twenty or twenty five minutes about when we might expect to get to the Ice fields. He left the bridge, think about % minutes after nine o'clock and during our talk he told me to keep the ship on her course, but that if I was the slightest degree doubtless as conditions developed to let him know at once"
 Did you keep the Titanic on her course?' Senator Smith asked.
 When did you next see Captain Smith ?''
 When l came out of the officers quarters after the impact"
 Captain Did Not Return to Bridge

 T turned over the watch to First Officer Aiurdock at ten o'clock
 Dc you recall now just what the Titanic's position was when you turned over the watch to Murdock?r
 T do not know sir, but I did know at the time. We talked about the ice that we had heard was ahoat and l remember we agreed we should reach the reported longitude of the ice- foes about II o'clock, an hour later. At that time the weather was calm anr clear. I remember we talked about the distance we could see. We could sec stars in the horison. It was very clear"

 Was it cold?"
 | "The temperature, sir. was 31 above not an abnormal temperature for that region
 Did you see Murdock after that?"
 Yes, when l came out of the officers quarters after the impact Murdock was on the bridge, he on one side and Capta1n Smith on the other. l never spoke to MurdoCk after l turned over the watch to him. l saw him later working over the last lifeboat as the ship went down."
 Captain Smiths Last Order.
 Lighthollder said he saw him sever al times on the boat deck but that his last recollection of Captain Smith was walking across the bridge of the Titanic.
 'I was busy at my own work, about fifty feet away and have a recollec- tion of seeing the captain walking across the bridge. I did not then hear him giving any orders. l was too far away"
 When the Titanic sank were her decks intact?'
