Capt. Nordenson said he had

acetylene torch.
Capt. Nordenson is the third
witness in the hearing. Before

Capt. Nordenson described the
steps he took to keep the Stock
holm aioat, pumping out water
from its forward hold, and the
launching of lifeboats to rescue
Doria survivors.
He testified his ship was on
its regular route for Scandi-
navian ports, calculated to pass
the Nantucket light ship at /
or 2 miles so as to get through
the heavily travelled shipping
area as quickly as possible.
The Italian line, owner of the
Doria, has commended that the
