Brack Stresi Minh,
JOHN NOBLE O Manchester, Eng.
Do you mean to say it was impos sible for you to follow the Admiralty directions which were given you? Yes, it was possible.
Then why did you not do it?-I considered I followed them as well as I could. .....
The Attorney-General. You do not suggest that when a torpedo struck the "Lusitania" you were in mid-Channel-It is practically what I call mid-Channel,
The Commissioner.Whereabouts were you on the chart?
The Attorney General--About.. there (painting).
The Commissioner-Do you, call that mid-Channel? Yes, I should call that mid-Caspel as a seafaring
The Attorney General-Do you really call eight miles from the land. mid-Channel? Do you not know. perfectly well that what the Admizā alty instructions were aiming that you should be further out from land than on an ordinary course?----So I was.
At that time not very much? About ten miles away.
"}
Would you ordinarily go-right in? We generally go along there to make the land and get a good posi tation.
There was nothing to prevent you! being much further out No, but I did not think it was necessary to go. dfurther out..
You had come in several miles?- I had to find my position. I do not work on approximation if I can get! a proper fix
Where not you told not. to pass near headlands2-1 do not consider I passed near headlands.
What do you call the Old Head of Kinsale 7That is a headland, but I passed 10 miles from it, and better. You thought that a wide berth
Yes.
Did you take counsel of anybody about it? I spoke to the chief afficer,
and also to the staff captain.
How long were you able to see the land before she was torpedoed Not very long.
In further evidence, Captain Turner said he did not obey orders as to zig-zagging, not thinking such course necessary until he saw a submarine.
Witness said he altered his course, about 12 noon on the 7th towards land to get his position and steer a course up to Coningbex Light. He also thought it was safer close jo land in case they did get a sub- marine. Even if he had kept big original course it would have taken him up close to the Coningber. which would not have been carrying out Admiralty, instructions, but he was actuated by good, as be under stood it that there was submarine in mid-Channel.
Reverting to the zig-zagging instructions, witness admitted that he had put a wrong interpretation upon it, when he got wireless at 12.40 as to a submarine proceeding west from Cape Clear. He thought they were a long way clear of danger. All be dealt for were-subolarines reported 20 miles south of Coningbeg.
Answering the Commissioner, wit ness affirmed that where at 145 be went back to his original course he had these submarines in mind: th
The Solicitor-General made his presentation of the motives actuating Captain Turner for the course he took and contrasting it with strict letters of Admiralty instructions to the "Lusitania," which, he contended, had they been carried out, wouldį have involved no reflection upon Captain Turner's care, prudence, or confidence, even though an accident had happened, beside which he would have avoided many of the risks he undoubtedly ran.
Captain Turner was recalledă and, answering Admiral Inglefield, ad mitted no observation was taken by sun for fixing his position
Answering the Solicitor General he said it did not occur to him when slowing down earlier in the day because of the fog, it was dangerous to sound his foghorn. He was then well over 20 miles from share, per- baps 40.
