entrance to the Chesapeake bay. and
was laying a course northeast. with

quarter, when the Nantucket, bound

coast from Cape Charles, where there
is a light. in addition to the Cape
Charles hghtship. some ten miles off
the Smith Island shore, all the way up
to the Winter Quarter Shoal Iightship,

board the Nantucket. Today these
officials, with the members of the local
commission of steamboat inspection at
Norfolk, are conducting further hear
ings.
The Norfolk commissioners have au-
thority to file charges If warrant is
found for such action, but officials of
the Department of Commerce expect to
receive report and direct action if it
is found necessary to file charges. A
COPY of the dispositions taken yester-
day were mailed to the Department last
night according to telegraphic advices,
but had not been received here this
afternoon.
Investigation at Norfolk is being con-
Quoted to determine whether the Off
GERS OF both vessels used proper pre-
cautions as to speed and use of horns
to prevent accidents considering the
fog prevailing at the time of the COL
lision: whether any blame attaches to
the shin officers or crew for failure to
save a larger number Of the passengers,
and whether the two vessels were in
