Calls for Inquiry.

London, May 30.-The London morn
ing papers in commenting editorially
on the disaster call for a thorough in
vestigation as to whether the bulk
heads were closed. and. If so, how was
it that the most modern system of
watertight compartments failed to
keep the ship from si-king?
The claim for the Empress of Ire
land will be the heaviest suffered by
the Lloyds underwriters since the
sinking of the Titanic. II Is expected
that the disaster will give a serious
check to the scheme for establishing
a Canadian Lloyds. with a view of re-
ducing the rates charged in London
for insuring vessels navigating the
ST. Lawrence.
Statistics show that the underwrit-
ers have consistently lost money on
such voyages, owing to the dangers of
the river and the prevalence of fogs
and ice.
The Times, in an editorial, con-
siders that nothing could have saved
the Empress of Ireland. considering
the nature of the collision, but asks:
What was the Storstad doing to run
into the Empress of Ireland with sIsch
suddenness and violence?"

Survivors Tell of Fog.

1t was foggy, according to survivors,
when the Empress of Ireland. steel
hulled, steel-bulkheaded ship of more
than eight thousand tons, left Mon
treal at 4:30 Thursday afternoon in
command of H. G. Kendall of the
Royal Naval Reserve, one of the most
skilled of transatlantic navigators.
Forest fires also obscured the at
mosphere and the big ship. in charge
of a pilot, proceeded slowly on her
way to sea. At midnight the pilot
aide left near Father Point, shouting
merry Bon Voyage" as he went
down their ladder to his waiting boat
The darkness at this time was in
tense and the ship under the slowest
speed possible with steerageway held
her course. Her decks were deserted.
The passengers had all sought their
berths with no thought of impending
death
Out of the darkness. on the port
side. soon after 2:30 in the morning
there doomed the little Norwegian col
lier. not half the size of the Empress,
but fated to be her destroyer.
Not until the collier was almost
abeam of the big liner was the danger
known on either ship. The fog had
blotted out the lights as well as the
port and starboard lights of both ships
Quick orders trumpeted on both yes
sells were heard. But they came all
too late.

The steel-pointed PROV of the Stor-

Intense darkness covered the waters
when the Empress of Ireland made
that final plunge, hut the fog lifted a
few minutes later and then came the
first faint streaks of dawn.
1t lighted waters strewed with
wreckage and struggling passengers,
who strove to keep af1oat.
The crippled Storstad, which had
wrought this tragedy of the waters,
had lifeboats out picking up as mary
survivors as possible.
The gray dawn revealed the govern

Carried to Bottom.

The Empress of Ireland recoiled al
most on her starboard beam ends from
the blow of the collier and passengers
were flung from their berths against
the walls of their staterooms
Many were stunned and before they
had time to recover were carried to
the bottom with the ship.
The vast torrents pouring into the
great cash on the port side, aft, filed
the corridors and flooded every state
room abaft the midship section in
side of four minutes.
There was never a chance for the
helpless ones in the after cabins and
staterooms of the liner. With her port
side laid open for half it's length from
the midship section to the stern, a
seive had more chance to float than
the Empress of Ireland, and the
trapped passengers in that after sec
ton were doomed from the moment
the Storstad struck.
