Threatened to Give Evidence
Harmful to Company.
EXPLANATION OF ACT NOT

BELIEVED BY LORD MERsEY
1t Further Hearing Today He Com
plains of Treatment Accorded
Rescued Passengers.

LONDON, July 1, 1885 p.m.-With the
object of eliciting further information
regarding some questions submitted
to the British board of trade in the
Lusitania inquiry. Baron Mersey held
another, public hearing here today.
Prof Marichal of Queens University
Kingston, Ont, who said he was re-
tired officer of the French army, caused
a diversion by complaining OF the
treatment accorded rescued passengers
of the Lusitania by the Cunard com
pany. He alleged the survivors had the
greatest difficulty in obtaining DRY
clothes, food. accommodations OF
Prof. Marichal also
said the second explosion on the ship
resembled the. sound which would be
caused BY ammunition, like a Maxim
gun" He also charged the company
with indifference to the interest OF the
passengers in carrying a dangerous
cargo and criticised the manner OF
conducting rescue work.
:. Letter Asks for Cash. 8,
Counsel of the cunard' line then read
a letter written by Prof.. Marichal to
the company after the disaster in
which the writer asked that cash be
advanced on his lost baggage or he
would give evidence mot to the credit
of the company or the admiralty"
Doesn't that imply you wanted
money to keep your mouth closed?"
asked Baron Mersey. 1...' -.
The witness explained that he
meant he would bring a separate &c.
ton apart from the inquiry unless he
was paid, but he denied that he re-
manned silent at the inquiry for that
reason.
Il don't believe you." declared Lord
Mersey.
The witness expressed indignation at
such an Interpretation of the letter,
but the presiding officer was unyield-
ing, and the professor left the stand
in high anger.
Condition Of Boats.
One of the objects of reopening the

inquiry was for the purpose Of review
ing the testimony relative to the state
of collapsible boats. The evidence re-
garding these boats was largely tech
nical as to whether they were capable
of being used If the skin had been
removed.
Lord Mersey said the particular evil
dence he desired was whether the grips
and 1ashings were loose, the evidence
regarding which was contradictory. but
an expert stated that If the lashings
had been loose the boats would have
fioated from the deck when the ship
sank.
Chief Carpenter Robinson, on being
examined. said he himself had removed
the lashings of eight lifeboats and saw
that the remainder was being attended
to by stewards. He believed all the
boats f1oated after the ship sank
