During the middle watch as soon as they ran into the log the captain went on the bridge, the chief officer was on watch and at 4 o'clock the second officer came up to relieve him. just at that time a whistle was heard faintly on the por quarter, and was heard gradually louder as the vessel which turned out in be the Maru came nearer.

Then the captain of the Brand suddenly saw the Mare, which he thought was going further and further ahead, süd- denly heading towards his own bows at a distance of about 300 feet. He had no reason to expect such a change, and nothing in the whistles indicated it. if he had heard her whistle louder and louder that would have put the captain on the qui zive, but only hearing one blast he thought the Maru was going ahead and had passed right on.
