Sides Ripped Out?
Calcutta, July 30, The Marine Court has opened its enquiry into the sinking of the steamer "Shahzada."
Mr. H. R. Panckridge, Standing Counsel, Bengal, at the outset made a statement, in the course of which he said that on the night previous to the disaster the Master of the vessel came on the bridge thrice in order to ascertain the ship's posi- tion. The Chief Officer was on watch from four o'clock in the morning. The last time that the Captain came on the bridge was at five minutes past three o'clock. On receiving the information he went to the bridge and found that the vessel had a heavy list to starboard. Under the Master's direction, the Chief Officer went to the engine room. The Second Engineer, who was on watch, appeared to be dazed, The list became worse and worse and the ship capsized and sank bows foremost.
The cause of the disaster was ob seure. Government's technical ad- visers offered no theory as to the
cause.
"No Theory To Offer."
Mr. Panckridge added: "We have no theory to offer. The Chief Off- cer was on watch from four o'clock in the morning, and it is for the Court to consider whether he sent for the Captain after matters had gone too far, and the Court will have to consider whether there were any grounds to conclude that he had been remiss in his duties, al- though the disaster might not have anything to do with his remissness, if any.

Later, while asleep, he thought that he heard a tremor. He went straight to the bridge and noticed that water was pouring on board on the starboard side.
Answering the Court, witness said: "I have only one theory: it is that the tremor that awoke me was caused by the vessel striking some thing which ripped her sides out. The fact that she went down so suddenly is in favour of the theory."
