emf, the hall and galleries were well
filled today when the British inquiry
into the Titanic disaster was resumed.
Captain Lord. OF the Californian
which was near the Titanic when she
sunk, was the first witness.
The attorney general Indicated that
there would be a material difference be-
tween the stories OF the captain ana
his officers in regard to the steamer
seen from the deck of the Californian
during the~night of the wreck.
Captain Lord said that he was sure
the steamer was not the Titanic, but
vessel of about the size Of the Cal
ifornian.
Captain Lord said ne had not been
told that the deck lights of the vessel
had disappeared. The second officer
Of the Californian. he said. reported
IN the morning that the vessel whose
masthead light mad been seen had
stopped during the night but had start
ed about i oclock and went off to the
southwestward, her stern light being
seen at o'clock.
Witness continued: 1T was reported
in the morning that the steamer which
had been seen during the night had
fired several rockets, but saw only
one. 1 thought il might have been a
company signal or an acknowledgment
OF the Californian's Morse signals by
which we had been trying TO communi-

"If they had, been distress signals 1

Allen Edwards. representing the

whether he and his officers had not
been offended by a wireless message
received from the Titanic telling the
Californian to "shut up"
Captain Lord replied that they did
not discuss it.
