No Word of Censure.

AS TO the conduct of the master and
the officers at the time of and after the
disaster. all of the passengers and also
the unlicensed members of the crew
who had testified before this board are
undivided in their statements that in
their opinion all was done that in human
power could be done toward saving life
and ministering TO their wants after
reaching shore. We have heard no word
OF censure from any source, which fact,
In view of other investigations OF marine
disasters. appears marvellous.
After collecting all data available and
OF merit bearing upon this case and
giving the same due consideration. We
are Of the opinion that Capt. Cam.
master of the States of California, Au-
gust L.. 1913, exercised all caution ana
Judgment that could reasonably be ex-
peeted in passing in and out of Gabbier
BAY We therefore. find no grounds for
bringing charges against Capt. Cam.

Cause of Many Deaths

Beyond doubt, the report continues.
the majority of persons who lost their
lives were injured in the maelstrom of
wreckage coming to the surface A
peculiar thing about the vessel was that
after she had apparently struck bottom
near the beach she slid back into the
waters along the rocky incline until a
depth Of thirty-eight fathoms was
reached.
The inspectors expressed the opinion
Quoted aboard the ship was good, and
they declared further:
1t Is not surprising that so few of
the crew were able to reach their re-
spective boat stations, as some of them
were in bed, some at breakfast and
the rest attending to their daily duties
Henry Finch. an experienced and
Well known diver. was dispatched from
Seattle TO the scene of the wreck, and
at the place designated by Capt. Cam
as nearly as possible, as the place
where the vessel struck, located jagged
pinnacles of rocks. with a depth of
water of sixteen feet, or fifteen feet
ten inches, as Capt. Cam measured
it. which location is in close proximity
TO the twelve and -one-half fathom
mark as shown on the chart. We are
of the opinion that Capt. Cam, from
previous passages through this chan
mel and from markings on the chart,
had reason to believe that he could
pass with safety at any stage of the
tide.
