 The officers were all on the hur- ricane deck. and the passengers on the promenade. The second steward did excellent work, going among the passengers and encouraging them. | Johnstone said that soon after midnight Sunday. he saw one of the lifeboats on the starboard side swung out

 Licorish Tells Story
 He said the ship seemed to be listing Sunday afternoon but he did not know the cause. He was at the wheel at this time. he said.
 Sunday evening in the sailors quarters he heard . crash and wal pitched across the ship. cargo crashing through | wall fell ovsl him, he said, but he extricated him self and went on deck ito see what happened"
 By s:3o o'clock. he said. the car go had shifted more and the list had increased.
 Monday morning, he said, 'it was rumored that water was flowing through the coaling half door" Orders were given the carpenter to repair the leak, he added.
 Orders to Bail
 Orders to bail were given early Monday afternoon and q short tim. later jettisoning of cargo was or- dered, Licorish said.

Johnstone said he noticed slight list to starboard when he boarded the Vestris and that all the pas sengers' baggage. as they boarded the ship. was put on the port side. He said that about a- n. Monday he suggested that . delegation of the passengers 70 and see the cap tain and ask what was being done to insure their safety.
 But nobody agreed with me. so the matter was dropped he said. T thought the passengers ought to be informed"
 Declined to lower Boats
 For Gods sake lower some of the starboard boats" Johnstone said he told one of the officers while they were struggling to get the port lifeboats down.
 "Oh. mo-" he said the ships off, cer replied. we can get those down any time. We are lowering these first because they are the most diff ficult."
 Well. If you don't watch out. they'll all go down with the ship" Johnstone said he told the officers.
 Johnstone said he got the impress sion that when the lifeboats were loaded, "all previous arrangements were scrapped."
 They simply huddled the women and children into the first boats. with nobody to manage the boats," he said.
 In the lifeboat he finally boarded. he said, there was great confusion
 Great Confusion
 Tt was filled with negroes and they were all shouting different orders," Johnson said. They were unanimous in only one thing. that was to get away from the ship"
 From the lifeboat, Johnstone said, he saw the Vestris go down.
 Two boats, as far as I could see No. 2 and No. 4. were still attached to the falls.' he said, and they went down with the ship"
 Johnstone said his lifeboat picked up. among other swimmers, the chief officer of the Vestris.
 Had 45 in Boat
 He told us,' Johnstone said, that a rescue ship would be along about 4:30. We had been rowing through the wreckage picking up everybody we could. until we had 45 in our lifeboat, which was being constantly bumped and endangered by floating wreckage. So, when we had filled our boat, we stood by waiting for the rescue ship that was to come at 4:3O."
 Captain T. P. Jessop, the Ameri- can nautical advisor, questioned Johnstone about the launching of the boats.
 Were any passengers told to go out to the starboard boats?" Jes- sop asked.

DETROIT, Oct. 2.-An expert

than-air ships, now being carried
out in the great hangar of the
Aircraft Development Corporation
at Crosse lie, Mich, just outside of
Detroit, is attracting attention
among aeronautical engineers all

The engineers of this company

that the ship will be ready for its
maiden flight in February.
