THE DENIAL
With
as a result of the ship's sinking WILLIAM HAINES, CLAIRE WINDSOR
During the course of hearing of evidence, it has been forcibly borne upon us that the present system of disseminating and broadcasting sígnals of disasters is much too cumbersome to ensure prompt aś- sistance to ships in distress.
Had the news of the disaster been immediately broadcasted, other vessels, if any, in the vicinity of the wreck would have rushed to the scene and therefore would have, in all probability, saved many lives.
We therefore recommend that the Government look Into the question as soon as possible, with a view to rectifying existing conditions.
We further recommend that the Harbour Master, 'or some other offl-
..
cor, be authorised and instructed by the Government to deal directly and promptly in matters of this kind.
Also, that the Polke patrol boat should be of a type sufficiently sea- worthy to undertake hazardous res cue work of this nature-as they ap- pear to be the only craft in harbour that are available at all times-and the men in charge of these boats should be sufficiently qualified to handle them in rough seas.
