eral of her officers. Captain Lamedoc
persistently has refused to make a
detailed statement.
The munition ship had lain outside
the harbor Wednesday night and the
next day was ordered to proceed to
an anchorage in Bedford Basin. AS
she was passing through the narrows,
the relief ship limo was moving out.
Captain Lamedoc said that in the
narrow channel there was a mistake,
somehow, in the exchange of signals
between the two ships. In maritime
circles the opinion seemed to be to-
day that the Frenchman was at fault.
The Mont Blanc was struck on
the starboard side and veered toward
shore. Captain Lamedoe said that
an instant after the crash a gush
Of smoke was seen issuing from the
vessel He Immediately gave orders
for all hands to take to the boats.
Taking up the story at this point,
an officer said:
There we're tanks of benzol and
picric acid aboard and we knew that
the jar of the collision, causing a
spark, had ignited these chemicals,
among which the flames could burn
only a few moments before they
spread to the T. N. t. Our small
boats were nearly swamped in our
efforts to escape. We feared that
the explosion would come before we
could make the short boat trip to the
shore and we pulled like desperate
men"

owing to a steep embankment. The
Buick car continued to speed on,

HALIFAX, Dec. 10.--It is officially
stated that the arrest of the surviv.
ors of the steamer limo was not due
to the discovery of evidence of an
enemy plot. Inquiry by government

There was, however, fault on the
part of the navlgators and there were
unofficial reports that the Mont
Blanc was taking the wrong side Of
the channel. Justice Drysdale, an
expert in admiralty law, has been
designated to conduct the inquiry.
