English Inquiry FiniShed- Mar gin Of Stability Decided Too
 Small for Safety
HEARING TAKES 40 DAYS,
 LONGEST EVER ORDERED
Heavy Weather and High Wind and Sea Also Contributed to Disaster in Which 112 Lives Were Lost, Board of Trade Decides-Water Seeped Into Coal Bunkers to Cause List.

London. July 31.-tP>-The Lam- port and Holt liner Nestris. when she set out on her fatal voyage from Hoboken last November was over loaded and unfit to encounter the perils of her winter trip, was the main finding of the board of trades inquiry into her sinking with loss of liz lives rendered today.
 The inquiry court also found that when peril did overtake the ship. her o s. warning was too long de- layed, the court declaring that it should have been sent out six hours earlier.
 Answers 5S Questions
 The court answered list of 5S questions bearing on the liners loss which the board had prepared and decided that the main contributory causes were:
 CD Loading the vessel beyond the load line.
 CD The tender. condition of the ship,
 (3) Insufficient margin of stability and reserve of buoyancy.
 (4) Heavy weather and high wind and sea, causing the vessel to list to starboard.
 (5) Water finding it's way into the lower bunkers saturating the coal, causing a list and probably prevent ing the pumps from working eff ciently.
 Hearing Took 40 Days
 The court which had sat for a record period of 40 days hearing evil dence in the case which previously had been dealt with by two Ameri- can Investigating bodies. went mi nutely into all the circumstances of the ships tragic end. It found that disaster overlook her sooner than ex- pected after trouble developed and that this probably was the reason for the failure of more lifeboats to get away with further saving of life. ~ Considerable attention was paid to the questlo1of overlooking and sev- eral of those who had duties to per form in connection with the vessels cargo were held blameworthv in varying degrees. The court named Mir. Woods. registered manager of Lamport and Holt. as in some degree to blame for failing to take further measures to prevent overlooking when he had been informed the ship had previously sailed overloaded.
 Orders Payment
 The court ordered the payment of $500 costs by David Cook, vice presi- dent of Sanderson &o Son. New York agents of Lamport and Holt. who, it held. had not taken adeouate measures to prevent the vessel from belng loaded below her load line and It named Captain Harry Wheeler marine superintendent and Captain William Heasiey, assistant marine superintendent. as blanca ble in less
