SEATTLE - Captain Andrew Borkland of the s. S North Coast sleeps in his underwear.
 That's why it took him nine minutes to get up on the bridge when his ship went aground in a fog near Cape Nudge off Van couver Island on October 8, he testified before the Investigating Board of the United States Bur eau of Marine Inspection and Navigation.
 At times" Captain Borkland said, T have come out in my underwear, but that isn't very nice in front of passengers.
 Captain William Fisher, chief of the examining board, thought that whether the master of the ship slept in his pajamaS, in a nightgown, or in his underwear, nine minutes was a pretty long time to dress and get on the bridge when his ship is in dan ger.
 The board preferred charges of negligence and inattention of duties" against Captain Borkland and Pilot o. E. Monaas.
