resumption of the Department
of Commerce inquiry into the
disaster which took 1874 lives.
Richard Kopf, of New York,
a dining room steward, told
how the officer, who had
fastened to the lifeboat after
sending down word to his black
gang for "not a living soul to

peatedly to have his boat
lowered.

Mr.. Kopf, who admitted he
escaped on the No. l boat
which carried only three pas
sengers and the rest seamen
and members of the stewards
crew, was asked on whose
orders the boat was lowererd.
He replied:
"I didn't hear anybody order
it lowered but I heard the
chief engineer beg to have it
lowered.
"The only actual order
heard was one from the bridge
not to lower the lifebOat."
Dickerson N. Hoover, chairman
of the board of inquiry, asked:

Chief Engineer Abbott pre-
viously admitted he had left the
ship in a Iifeboat without going

said he left on the orders of the
