HISSON'S ACTIVITIES,
Captain Collier's Evidence.
Beaters Service.
London, July 25.
At the Board of Trade enquiry into the loss of the P. & O. liner Egypt, Captain Collier gave evidence that prior to the patting off of the boats he saw officers on the port boat-deck getting firemen and trimmers out of the boat. He did not see whether there were any Indians and he did not notice any revolver shooting or Enlfing, When witness was dragged into a lifeboat he took command. He. was given a revolver by Captain Carr, which he was told had been ** used to fire over the heads of the crew to compel them fo make way
for the ladies.
Raplying to a representative of the Amalgamated Marino Workers, Capt. Collier said Lascars were best fitted for work on the Landon-Bombay route, and there was not mach to choose in case of accidents between Lascars, properly led, and whites. The accident to the Egypt was abnormal." Even if the crew were entirely white, the loss of life would have been the same, as it was mostly attribut able to a list, preventing secess to the boats.
Capt. Collier explained that the confusion whereby the crews of
the boats were not at their proper stations was due to a desire to get -out of the ship before she turned turtle. Pressed to explain the wsat of discipline, Capt. Collier replied "They were simply terrified, not merely the natives but many Europeans." He added that the passengers jumped overboard from all angles before the ship turned turtle. Everybody seemed to be crouching in terror. He himself was on the bridge and wondered how he was going to get away.
The Chief Officer, Mr. Cartwright, said that two days before the collision he gave the Lascars boat-drill for ten minutes. He did not think the men would have gone to their stations better if there had been more stoltill at Tilbury.
Lascars Useless.
Mr. Cartwright said that at the time of the collision, when the order to but stations was given he was unable to find the Lascars. he was of opinion that discipline failed because everything was 10 sudden. The human element must be taken into account.
The Lascars whom he saw after they were picked up were terror-stricken and useless. The whites were not terror-stricken, bat were jumpy and nervous. It was the work of the white officers, quarter-masters, engineers and stewards that enabled the boats to be put out.
The enquiry was adjourned.

London. July 25. Another case of a scuttling of a Greek steamer came before the King's Bench Goort (A previous case was reported in a cable of June 24).

Mr. Justice Rowlatt said that the vessel, which was insured for £60,000, was not worth more than a third, and gave judgment, with cosis, for the defendants, who contended that the ship had been, scuttled by the engineer with the privity of the plaintiffs.
