On that occasion he did not pull it, but he could not remember whether the captain did so.
By his Lordship.-Witness formed the opinion that a collision was imminent when the helm was ported and the engines were put full speed astern From his position on the bridge, both ships appeared to witness to be moving. He could not say whether or not the Hangchow's way was stopped before the collision. From the time she was first sighted witness did not keep the Glengyle specially under observation.
William Lamond, second engineer of the Hangchow, said he was on duty in the engine- room at the time of the collision. The third engineer was not on duty, but the chief engi- neer was standing by. Coming in on that day witness made a note in his log-book of the times at which the different orders were given. That for "Half-speed" was 4.4 the nextorder," Blow," was given at 4-51; at 4-58 "Stop" and "Full speed astern" were given; all these orders were promptly executed. It would take, roughly speaking, about ten seconds to put the engines over. At 4.55 the ship struck some hing, the 1 impact being felt in the engine-room. At 4.57 the order was given," Stop." The first three e tries were made by the witness, the others by the chief engineer. The entries by the witness ware made at the time, those by the chief on- gineer, later, in his room, in witness's presence. The times for the orders were correctly en- tered. Witness joined the Hangchow in March
List.
By Mr. Sharp-Witness was positive that some words had not been erased in the Mr. Francis-I submit, my Lord, it has simply been smudged
His Lordship-I think it is a smudge. Witness-We have greasy hands, you know, in the engine-room.
The log was passed from his Lordship to Commander Blackburn, and then to Captain Anderson, being ultimately handed back to Mr. Sharp.
Mr. Sherp-When you took this log to the chief engineer's room, was there any writing or figures here?
Witness-I have already answered that. Mr. Sharp-Will you answer it again? Witness-I have already answered that. Mr. Sharp-Will you give me a definite an- swer, Mr. Lamond §*
Witness-I have already answered that.
His Lordship-You mustanswer the question. Witness-There was no writing; there may have been a line down.

By Mr. Francis-The time given for the collision was correct. Witness had first noted the time on a board in the engine-room, as was done with other entries.
By his Lordship-Witness could not say why the chief engineer made the two entries in the log instead of leaving it to be done as was usual by witness, unless it was because the en- tries related to a collision-a rather im- portant event. The chief engineer took the time of the collision from his own knowledge. He was in the engine-room from the order to "Stand by."
By Mr. Francis-When the order to “Stand by" was given, witness still remained in charge, although the chief engineer returned to the engine-room.
John Wedge Williams, chief engineer of the Hangchow, was next examined.
