CALIFORNIAN NEAR TITANIC
Wireless Communication Cut OF as
Liner Had stopped Engines

Boston. April 23.-The Leyland steamer
Californian was less than 20 miles from
the Inflated White Star liner Titanic
when the latter foundered on the morn
ing Of April Is. Captain Lord OF the Cali
fornian said tonight that had ne but
known Of the Titanic's plight. all the lat
ter's passengers could have been saved.
He denied that his ship was the steamer
reported to have passed within five miles
OF the sinking liner and to have disre-
garded signals for help. Il figure that we
were from II to 10 miles distant from the
Titanic that night" he said
About 1870 that Sunday night we
steamed into an immense icefied." said
Captain Lord. and Immediately as a
matter OF safety, our engines were shut
down to walt for daylight. With the en-
gines stopped. the wireless was, of course,
not working, so we heard nothing of the
Titanic's plight. until the next morning.
Captain Lord explained statements
credited to members OF his crew to the
effect that the Californian was within

to her calls for assistance. by saying

DID TITANIC STRIKE RocK7
shipping Paper Raises Interestiur
Question and Urges Investigation.

New York. April 23-The suggestion
that the Titanic struck a ledge OF rock
and not an iceberg is made in the current
issue OF the Nautical Gazette a weekly
shipping paper. The possibility OF such
an accident Is urged because the ship
struck in the same longitude as the half
submerged Virgin rocks. to the north,
and possibly in the same spot, where the
Naronic foundered In 1898
The Titanic. 1t Is suggested. being the
deepest ship Of the seas. might have hi.
a rock that other ships have passed over
safely The Gazette says that at least a
survey of the place should be made by
the United States government. Under
the head Of What Did She Striker" the
Gazette says:
"A strange possibility arises from
the coincidence in proximity or posi-.
tion OF the Titanic and the Naronic
disasters. The position where the
Titanic met her loom was latitude
4l:4s. longitude SOFA
This is south of the Grand BANKS
but in just about the same longitude
as the dangerous semi submerge
Virgin rocks. to the north of the
Banks. While the Banks of New.
foundland are supposed to be caused
by the sands from the Gulf Of St
Lawrence and the action OF the Gulf
Stream. the existence of the Virgin
rocks. and even the proximity OF the
surface of the Georges shoals. nearer
the coast, shows that even in this dis
tant part of the Atlantic there may be
submerged Lodges OF rock never hith-
erto discovered"
