BARR STOUTLY DEFENDED
Cunard's General Agent Says
Captain Did Full Duty.

Charles II. Sumner. general agent OF
the Cunard Line in this country, yester-
day said that he believed the criticisms
meted out To Captain Barr OF the Car
mania by many on the other rescuing
vessels was unfair. II no effort had been
made TO launch boats from the Voturno,
he said. there would have been practically
no loss OF life, so far as one could Judge
from the reports at hand.
THE judgment of Captain Barr was
amply upheld by what happened to the
boats launched from the Volturno." Mr.
Sumner said. The Carmania was the
first vessel on the scene. When she ar
rived she was asked by Captain Inch to
thought to have got away safely from the
Volturno. on her return she found the
other vessels gathered around the burn
ing ship, and, being difficult of handling,
she lay on To windward so that her great
bulk might act as breakwater for the
lifeboats Of the other vessels"
Mr.. Sumner was told of the implied
criticism in the statement of Lloyd. the
second officer OF the Volturno. who rowed
to the Grosser kurfdrst on Thursday
night. after the Carmania refused to send
boat to their aid. Lloyd made the Ger
man vessel with four men. but just as he
climbed aboard his lifeboat sank under
him.
THAT only goes to show that Captain
Barr was right" Mr.. Sumner said. IF
Lloyd's boat had been filled with passen-
gers they would have been drowned
