When witness made inquiries the chief engineer said the engines were brought to a addeo stop twice, and he asked if the ship had rug ashore. Witness was told to take soundings, and found two foot of water in the bilges. He heard the chief engineer say that water was squirting from the watertight doors, The master told witness to cell-all hands, and swung the port lifeboat out.
Witness was positive the ship struck nothing. Neither he nor the meu in his watch felt any shock.
SEABAN'S SUSPICION Ronald Moffatt, A.B., said his theory as to the loss of the ship was that the sea-cocks wore
open.
Mr. Inskip (for the master): What led you to that conclusion-For a week before she sank the captain and engineer lindome very hico, little-yarma together aft. They were yarning togother all the time.
What did that make you suspect ?-That they were going to do away with the ship.
What else made you suspicious Getting a chaster for Iceland. It's a long way to tako 800

Do you seriously charge the captain or engineer with having opened the sun-cocks because they. had some chats together and the ship was chartered to Iceland-couldn't forta a titory any other way
"Have you mentioned it since you have béon in England Not until today.
GOOD PLACE FOR LOSING A SHIP." Mr. Trapnall (for the chief engineer) Why did you think Tesland a good plaes for losing a ship-Because there's so much ice about there. There's some very outlandish port up there, and you get some very dirty weather.
Coughs and Lung Troubles.
Angier's Emulsion is both different and superior to all other emulsions because it com- bines the remarkable healing properties of our special petroleum with the tonic properties of the hypophosphites. It not only cures coughs and heals the lungs, but it promotes appetite, aids digestion and builds up strength.

A DECK HAND'S IMPRESSION. Alfred Smith, a deck hand, said that when the ship went down he did not think the captain was sober,
