Phelps said the noise and cele-
brating Of the last night out kept him
and his wife from sleeping and his
wife called out to him:
"Gou, there is a fire because there
Is some smoke pouring in"
The scion of the prominent Gov
eurneur Morris family said he looked
out and could see the glow of flames
over the water.
They hurried on deck. Then,
Phelps said, he heard woman in the
milling crowd ask:
Awaited Orders From Bridge.
when are they going to lower the
boats?"
Already, the fire had routed out
the passengers.
A deck officer, Phelps said, answered
the woman:
When we get the orders from the
bridge"
When the flames made the deck un-
bearable, Phelps and his wife and son
decided to swim for it.
WAS there an alarm up to this
time?" Hoover asked.
AT no time was there an alarm, -
he replied.
WAS any effort made to supply you
with life preservers?"
There was no one to make an
effort"
Phelps thought it was "idiotic" for
the deck officer to say the boats could
not be lowered until orders came from
the bridge with the terrific cracking
of the flames"

in sight when the boat was lowered
to the water.
Within a few seconds after the
watchman reported the fire, smoke
appeared on the bridge and interfered
with vision, the witness said.
"Did you at any time see any one
from the radio room come on the
bridge?" asked Hoover.
Hoffman shook his head in the
negative.
Rogers earlier had testified he had
sent two of his assistants to the bridge
to obtain instructions
Officers on Bridge Sober.
Asked whether the officers on the
bridge were sober, Hoffman said they
were.
He denied there was any wild rum
ming about" on the bridge.
Hoffman couldn't tell Hoover why
the flames spread with such rapidity.
Under questioning by Hoover, Hoff-
man said he never had seen any evil
dence or friction among crew mem
bers.
John Dime, another quartermaster,
was the next witness.
Dime said he was on watch with
Hoffman. He heard the chief mate call
to the second mate that the ship was
on fire.
Il grabbed a fire extinguisher and
directed it at the flames.
1T wasn't much use"
Dime testified that while he was
on the bridge he saw no one report
to Capt. Warns
He only saw one passenger on "a"
deck; that was a woman, the witness
declared.
Il lowered No. S lifeboat," Dime
said when asked about his activities
after the blaze got we'll under way.
There were no passengers in my
lifeboat," he said.
Dr. Phelps, his wife and their son,
Governeur, jr., all charged before the
Department of Commerce inquiry yes
terday that they were left to look out
for themselves as fire ragged on the
Moro Castle decks. They all denied
hearing a general fire alarm before
they were forced by the intense heat
and encroaching fire to jump and risk
their lives in the ocean, swept by
lashing nor'easter.
They also testified no effort was
