CORONER BELIEVES
 DEATH ACCIDENT
Finds Thames Pilot Met Death
 by MisadYenture

Bridgeport, July 23 R-Lambert L. Hancourt, pilot of the ill fated freight steamer Thames, operating between New York, Norwalk and Bridgeport, who was drowned with other members of the crew off Greenwich April A. came to his death by accident and not through any criminal act or, negligence on the part of anyone, according to a lengthy finding today by County Coroner John J. Phelan.
 The coroner states that Pilot Hancourt endeavored to escape from the boat in a properly equipped hteboat, and was drowned by the Upsetting of the boat
 Text of Finding
 Continuing the coroner says; Ger tain criticism was heard in the testimony of an alleged negligence Of Engineer Tihbetts in his failure to remain at his post until he could hear and respond to Captain Sher- mans stop signal; that such failure to stop the vessels speed caused the liteboats, when launched, to be pulled forward so rapidly by her momentum as to cause their up setting, the same resulting in the drowning of the deceased and other members of the crew, and that such failure further prevented the en- gineer and others from operating the fire apparatus of the steamer to save her from destruction, and as a consequence made it necessary for the crew to take to the lifeboats in the hope of saving their lives.
 Engineer Not At Fault
 Tn view, however, of the weight of testimony, showing the sudden ness with which the fire and suco- eating smoke broke from unkonwn places and sources in the steamer and the short time elapsing from this discovery to the launching of the lifeboats (alleged to be five niinutes) I am of the opinion that in all the circumstances Engineer Tibbetts was reasonably justified in leaving his post to verify the report of Oiler McNamara and that, in the presence of impending death from suffocation, he was warranted in leaving the engineroom when his re- sponse to the slow bell of Captain sherman was completed and before the stop bell could be anticipated by him. I am further of the opinion that Tibbetts was justified in escaping from the engineroom to the lifeboat under the then existing conditions rather than be sacri- feed life.'
