Neroutsos He told the Court that he had applied several years ago to the United States authorities for a light on the spot. A lookout was carried on the Sophia for use in thick weather, and he would undoubt- edly be at his post.
 Company Lost 87 Men,
 Mir. Herbert Wheeler, manager of testified regarding the S7 of the com pany's employees lost on the Sophia. Twelve or fifteen, he said, were deck hands, two had British masters cer- tificates and two were American mas ters. Practically all the stewards of the company were lost, and also engineers and pursers.
 Former Chief Officer Harrison, of the Sophia, MT. Napier Denison, the head of the Provincial Meteorological Observatory here; Capt. Logan, who made a survey of the Sophia for the underwriters, and two divers who had been down to the wreck will give testimony today. MT. Denison will tell of the weather conditions

stated, and he couldn't say that any attempt, had been made to find them Mail had been recovered from the chart room just back of the pilot house, where the log was, and a door connecting the two rooms. The witness said that these wooden up perworks were washed away, accord ing to divers.
 The salvage company sent their vessel North only after a day of un- certainty awaiting a message from the Sophia The Tees would not have gone without orders from the c. P. R. Instructions were not giv- en as to what the salvage ship was to do, the officials simply being told to do all they could. Salvage opera tions had been discontinued because nothing could be done owing to the rough weather The wreck is now in the hands of the underwriters. A statement of the expenses of the Sophia wreck to the c. P. R., out side of the cost of the vessel, was handed to the Court The expenses totaled $7S,O7422. Here are a few of : the details of the statement: and care of bodies per Dominion Express, $3,10729; under takers, $54,9735S; boat hire and pay ment of searchers, $14,S92.63; tele- grams, $1,33664.
 Tells of Lifesaving Equipment Capt. Neroutsos, Marine Superin- tendent of the B. C. Coastal service, who had been to sea since he was fifteen years of age and had only left it in 1911 to take the shore position next gave testimony before the com mission He entered into details of the Sophia's passenger capacity and lifesaving equipment and showed that the latter was much more than required for the number of passen- gers carried on the last trip of the vessel.
 Familiar With Canal
 Capt. Neroutsos gave the court the advantage of his years on Brit ish Columbia coastal vessels running in the North, he having been off cer on the Princess Beatrice, Royal and May and also master. He did not think that the boats standing by the Sophia soon after the vessel struck, would have been able to car ry all the passengers away. The nearest land from the reef was two and a half or three miles away and there were no habitations for many miles. He was familiar with Lynn Canal and states that the tides were very cratic and there was lit tie information on them. The many islands in the narrow stretch of wa ter broke up the movement of water | in a very confusing manner.
 The "norther" which blew the So phia over the reef was unusual be- 1 fore November, stated Capt. Ner outsos When it blew, however, it would continue to gain in velocity,
The Alaska daily empire., 1919-02-21

| and although it might die down it would often spring up again sudden ly.
 Advanced Several Reasons The evidence taken in Vancouver
 showed that the Sophia was headed
 towards shore when the Cedar saw her. Asked how the vessel could
 have got into this position, Capt Neroutsos stated that the helm might have been put hard over at the last minute when the reef was sighted Then again the captain
 might have been turning around to
 go back up the Canal when he found
 that he could not fix his position. The Sophia might have gone on the rocks facing down channel but in manouev-
 ring at high tide she might have swung into the position in which she was seen.
 Deviation Not Unusual Regarding possible deviation of ! compass, Capt Neroutsos testified
 that the Sophia's compass was last
 adjusted in 1914, and the veracity of the deviation card was accepted by him. The officers on the ships tested the compasses each month and
 sent in reports, and the Sophia re- port had shown nothing unusual There is a place two and half
 miles this side of Skagway, Capt Neroutsos said, where the compass is affected, but owing to the num- Der of changes in course between there and Vanderbilt Reef this could
 not account for the wrecking of the
 Sophia. The masters set their own courses.
 ! The superintendent said that on no occasion had he complained to cap
 tain for bringing the ship in late for
 navigation reasons. Capt. Troup, he
 said, agreed with him in this mat ter
 Asked if he considered a barome- ter a certain weather guide, Capt Neroutsos replied that if the baro-
 meter were rising in Lynn Canal in , October he would look for moder , dIo Wluu anu CledT lTUSLy WcdJueT Would Turn Back
 The matter of navigating Lynn
 Canal and the ease with which a
 mariner could get in a "fix" was dis
 cussed between Capt Martin, Com
 missioner, and witness. Capt Ner.
 outsos stated that if he could not
 pick up the horns, lights, etc, or get the necessary echo he would
 hunt until he did, or go back the
 way he had come.
 Capt Macpherson, Commissioner,
 wanted to know if witness could tell | why the boats were floating about in the water after the Sophia sank. | Capt. Neroutsos replied that if the safety device was loosened the boats | would float away when waterborne | "If there had been light on the
 reef I am sure the Sophia would
 not have been lost" declared Capt

when the hearing is held here Feb ruary s2627.
 Capt. Troup, who has been eight teen years in the service, spoke very highly of Capt. Locke, whom he con. sidered above the average of the men commanding coastal boats. The master of the Sophia had been with the c. P R. for 19 years and in that time had had three accidents. He read the navigation rules issued to the masters in the British Colum- bia Coastal Service. These called upon the officers to take no risks, to slow down, blow the whistle, take necessary soundings, keep double watch and have a lookout in thick weather or snow. Circulars were also read by Capt Troup which em- phasized the necessity of caution.
 Parting Injunction
 For Gods sake, keep out of trou- ble this Winter" was Capt. Troup's parting injunction to Capt Locke be- fore he left on his last trip. In ex- plaining this remark to the court yesterday, the manager of the coast service said that it was made owing to the scarcity of boats and the fact that should the craft be put out of commission the c. P. R. would be out of business on the northern run.

"THERE IS A KEASUN" The reason for the unusual good service from our Ingersol watches and alarm clocks is our careful sys- tenn of inspection when we get them. We run the watch one day each in three positions: Dial up, dial down, and hanging up; and if 1t doesn't average good is it returned and a new one demanded. This is the reason why we seldom get a complaint from a purchaser of one of these watches.
