CAPTAIN ANDERSON OF COLLIER STORSTAD
SAYS CAPTAIN KENDALL'S STORY is A LIE

The photographer caught Captain
Thomas Anderson of the collier Stor-
stad, which sank the Empress of Ire
land, just after he had anchored at
pier in Montreal. The captain would
'have nothing to say as to the cause OF
the accident. The company which
owned his vessel had issued state
ment and he would not add to 1t.
However, it was said he resented
statements made by Captain Kendall
Of the Ireland before the coroner at
Rimouski, where the inquest was held.
According to Pilot Nault, who
brought the Storstad here from Que
bee, Captain Anderson made this re-
mark.
Captain Kendalls statement of
what occurred when the Empress of
Ireland was sunk is lot Of les
It was denied for the captain of the
Storstad that he backed away after
the crash 1t was also asserted for
him that his ship was virtually at
standstill when the collision occurred.
The StCrstad's owners also insisted
that, from theN positions Of the vessels
before the fog bank came between
them, the Storstad had the right Of
way.
On the other hand, Alex C. Radley,
chief bosn's mate, who was on the
bridge of the Empress with Captain
Kendall, says that the Storstad was
going at the rate of between seven
and eight miles an hour. Captain Ken.
dali said that when he saw both the
green and red lights of the Storstad
about a ships length away-which
showed that she was coming directly
for him-he ordered full speed
ahead with his helm hard to port.
