Of COLLISION

Investigation of the Halifax disa5

cording to the latest information by
mail. The inquiry is now revolving
around the steamer limo. at one time
believed to have been sent purposely
into the munitions ship, the Mon
Blanc.
A despatch printed in the Pacific
coast papers under date of December
IA, says:
"HALIFAX, n. S., Dec 14-There
were no Germans or Austrians aboard

to the explosion. So far as he knew

bridge of the ship until after the col.
lision. He had noticed no change in
the LIMOS course prior to the collis,
ion. Twenty minutes elapsed, he said,
before the explosion occurred.

"Bjorssen said he did not know the
Mont Blanc was carrying munitions,
and he recalled that while he was be:
low after the collision to see If the
limo was leaking, he overheard Third
Officer Jonnas say the French ship
could not be carrying munitions or
she would be flying a red flag. Bjors.
sen stated that if the limo had not
gone astern the French ship would
have rammed her near the STERN on
the port side. He said the Mont Blanc
changed her course after three blasts
on the whistle, swinging over to the
Halifax side of the channel.
Nearest Witness
Edward McCrossan, seaman, who
was the nearest witness Of the explos
ion on a steamer in the .harbor, said
the limo struck the Mont Blanc near
her No. 1 hatch. Less than a minute
later, McCrossan said, he saw some
thing rise from the deck of the
Frenchman. Then he saw the LIMOS
propellers going as she backed out
from the Mont Blanc. AS the two YES
sells drifted apart McCrossan noticed
a tiny flame on the munitions ship,
just at the waters edge. From where
he was the flame did not seem to be
more than a couple of inches in ex-
tent, but it grew larger and larger, as
the Mont Blanc drifted in toward the
pier, where she blew up. The seaman
was able to give graphic picture OF
the disaster"
