A piece of wood swept across the rope attached to the ships whistle, causing it to sound and giving the engine room staff the impression that the captain was signalling to an- other vessel.
 Captain Brewer repeated his ore vious statement that he put into FaI- mouth with the Wilhelmina solely be- cause of the damage the vessel had sustained. He said he felt moreover that he would have trouble in the rough channel with his life saving apparatus diminished.
