J loss Of more than 1000 lives.
The Golfers third officer found
responsible Is Alfred Tustenes. He
was on the bridge when the crash
occurred. :
We sregret,p says the finding, ito
have to- aimpute.blame to any one In
connection with this lamentabie dis
asters and we should not do so II we
felt that any reasonable alternative .
was left to US. We can, however,
come to no other conclusion than
that Mr.. Tustenes was wrong and
negligent In ordering his course In
the fog she undoubtedly did. and
that he was wrong and negligent In
keeping the navigation of the vessel
in Ills own hands and in failing to
call the captain when lie saw the
fog coming on.
Title main differenceN between
the two stories tof the officers OF
the Empress and the Storstad. re-
speetiyelyl islto be found in tile de-
sscription OF the way In which tho
two vessels were approachine each

ireland changed her course after
Having obtained an offing from
Farther point.
Shortly after tile ships came into
the position OF Green to Green as
claimed by Capt. Kendall or red to
red aas claimed by Mr.. Tustenes. the
fog shut the mout from each other
and It Is While they were both en-
yeloped in this fog that the course
ofsone or the. other was changed and
the collision brought about. From
the evidence adduced on behalf OF
both vessels II Is plain that before
the fog and when they last saw each
other there was no risk of collision
Eifieach kept her course. Therefore.
the Question as 10 who is to blame
resolves itself into n simple issue.
namely which Of tile shfps cltauged

It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied Simply moisten your comb or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair dis appears but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after few applications, it also pro- duces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which Is so attractive; besides, prevents dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair
