Testimony Of Jacob SAKE, Third
Officer Of The Collier

Quebec, June 2i.-Counsel for the
Canadian Pacific Railway. owners OF
the Empress of Ireland, Saturday
oss-exalnlned Jacob SAKE, third Off
Ger of the Storstad, at the wreck in
curry to try to show that the chief
mate of the collier neglected his duty
in not calling Capt. Andersen TO the
deck as soon as he saw the approach
of the fog that shrouded the two ves-
sells when they collided. SAKE said the
captain had been called from his cab
in only a few minutes before the COLI
sion.
ION other occasions when you have
seen fog coming up" demanded Mr.
Asphalt, the Canadian Pacific attor-
ney, hasn't he always been called
when you saw it coming?
when I have been in charge of
the vessel" replied Sake, Il have al
ways called him when / saw of COM
ing in"
Denies Bonus for Quick Trip
THAT is the right time, is it not?
Yes
The witness denied he received any
bonus if the Storstad made a good
quick trips. On the night of the col
lision, he said, he had nothing to do
with the navigation of the ship, but
was stationed as a lookout.
SAKE like his brother officers who
had testified before him, declared the
Empress was moving at good speed
when they first saw her coming out
of the fog. AS the passenger steamer
approached, SAKE said, the mate gave
orders to port the helm a little.
Did you think it was a dangerous
order?" asked Mr.. Asphalt.
NO"
Wasn't it wrong?" interjected Lord
Mersey, the chairman.
NO" persisted the witness.
In defence of the maneuver, Sake
said the Empress. had last been seen
on the port side. The officers of the
Storstad could not tell from her
whistles what her direction was. The
witness said that he himself ordered
the helm nearly hard aport.
Did you do it without order?' ask
ed Mr.. Asphalt.
YES"
Chief Engineer Syvertsen of the col
Iier. testifying with the aid of the Of
fetal engine room log, maintained the
Storstad had not enough Roadway to
steer by. The ship was almost still, he
said before the order was given to
go astern.
Altered Scrap Log
Mr.. Aspinall intimated that the chief
engineer had altered the scrap log of
his subordinate without sufficient war
rant, but the witness maintained that
the changes he had made were neces-
STATED by the fact that the third en-
gineer was poor speller and had not
completed his record.
The court was still trying to straight
en- out the tangle over the engine room
logs when adjournment was taken I'M
til next Monday morning.
Two bodies, the first recovered from
the lost liner the Empress of Ireland,
arrived here Saturday on the ocean

from Rimouski. They were recovered
late Friday by divers from the schoon-
er Marie Josephine.
The first corpse brought up was
identified as that of a Mrs. Marshall
She was about 40 years old. The Sec
ond body was that of a man named
CrissweH of Lethbridge, Alberta, about
S. years of age. Both bodies were
found lying on the hull of the Empress,
caught fast between ratings.

Vienna, June 21.-Nine terribly
burned and mutilated bodies, the splin-
tered fragments of an aeroplane, and
the charred remnants of a big dirigible
balloon are the mute records of one
of the most tragic, certainly the most
sensational, disasters which have oc-

catastrophe which resulted in the
death of all concerned, followed

dirigible at a great height, during the

The dirigible military balloon Koert-

II miles from Vienna, at o'clock
Saturday morning. She was manned
by Captain Johann Hauswirth in COM
mand, Lieut.. Ernst Hofstetter, Lieut..
Pruer, Lieut.. Haidinger, Corporal Ha-
dina, Corporal Weber and Engineer
Kammerer. At the elapse of half an
hour, military aeroplane of the BIZ
plane type, with Lieut.. Flatz and Lieut..
Hoosta aboard, started in pursuit.
Capt. Hauswirth intended to take
photographs of the movements of the
troops below and then to join in the
maneuvers. At the same time he was
to keep out of range of any of the
mosquito craft which might seek to
attack him.

Crowd Gathered

The news had gone abroad that some
thing in the nature of. sham aerial fight
would take place and at Koenigsberg,
the scene of the engagement a big crowd
had gathered. Very quickly the smaller,
but much speedier, craft overlook the big
airship and then the spectators witnessed
a thrilling sight.
AS might a wasp, bent on attacking
some clumsy enemy, the aeroplane cir
cled several times around the balloon,
now darling close to her. and then away,
always apparently steering off just in
time to avoid an actual collision.
Meanwhile, the balloon continued to
rise until it was about 1900 feet from the
ground. The aeroplant al a still greater

be nearly over the airship. Then it be-
