 Tells of Pinthis Speed "We have testimony" Captain Tarkenton said, that the Pinthis was sighted at the eastern terminus or the Cape Cod canal at f o'clock Eastern Standard Time. She was at Humor Rock, the scene of the col lision at 7:05. Would this tend to show that she was not running at reduced speed, taking into consid- eration the speed of the Vessel?"
 Tt would" replied Captain Brooks.
 Just as soon as he sighted the Pinthis, Captain Brooks testified, he ordered full speed astern and the helm hard aport This, he said would have tended 10 swing the Fairfax clear of the Pinthis and was the only possible maneuver to pre- vent a collision. Suppose" said Captain Hanlon, that you had reversed this order giving full speed ahead and helm hard to starboard, what would have been the result?"
 Both vessels would have crashed together with such force" said Cap tain Brooks, that I believe every person on both vessels would have been lost"
 Joseph Breito, lookout on the steamer Fairfax at the time Of her collision, took the stand as the first witness today in the federal inquiry into the tragedy,
 Breito. who said he had followed the sea for 21 years. testified he saw the Pinthis suddenly loom out of the fog about 100 feet almost direct ly ahead. The Pinthis, he said, sounded only one blast of her fog whistle and this was simultaneous with her appearance.

Brooks Pleads Not Guilty

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 13 (UP) )-Tes- timony regarding responsibility for the tragic collision of the steamer Fairfax and the oil tanker Pinthis June 1O in which more than 50 lives were lost, was con- cluded today before a steamboat in spection board with the personal version of Captain Archibald H. Brooks of the Fairfax
 Six seamen from the Fairfax and Captain Brooks were the only wit nesses remaining to be heard when trial was resumed.
 Brooks was sworn yesterday and pleaded not guilty to all charges of negligence. Conviction would mean suspension of his navigation license.
 Witnesses Praise Captain
 Members of his crew and two pas sengers eXonerated him yesterday, praising his conduct in a situation they blamed on the Pinthis.
 High points in their testimony be fore Inspectors K. s. Takenton and T. J. Hanlon-composing the trial board-included the following asser- tions:
 That just before the crash the Fairfax was proceeding at reduced speed, required by the impenetable fog of Massachusetts Bay;
 That the Pinthis failed to sound her fog horn until almost atop the Fairfax;
 That an sos was flashed out n few minutes after the crash, on q commercial wave length
 That a motorboat, manned by four members of the Fairfax crew, was lowered to search for passen- gers who had leaped into the sea, as quickly as fire aboard the Pinthis was brought under control.
 Says He sent sos
 J. Wesley Kool;cn. chief operator of the Fairfax testified he sent out an sos. within siT or seven minutes Of the collision. His testimony was in conflict with charges by witnesses at Boston that the Fairfax sent no SOS.
 Kooken admitted that his message, tapped out while flames threatened his radio shack, may never have gone into the air, for, he said he discovered afterwards that his an- tenna had been knocked down. It was restored. he said and messages sent to all ships 10 stand by.
 An affidavit was submitted by the Chatham radio station. caying that such q message was picked up short ly after o'clock. The Pinthis vas sunk at 4:03

 Officers and members of the crew of the Fairfax corroborated that tes- timony, saving that if proper warn ing if the Pinthis' approach had been received, a crash could have been avcrted.
 J. V. Eubank. quartermaster Of the Fairfax. told dramatic story of leaping into the sea in flaming cloth ing. He dived under burning oil, swan 10 a lifeboat, and drifted until a. m. when a fisherman Favcd him and a negro.
