At 7.30 P. M. there was still a certain amount
of excitement. I can't say whether the two midship cargo
ports could be opened for they are never open.
I noticed that no passengers appeared to be
grabbing baggage lying on the wharf.
Police and fire brigade officers were employed
recovering bodies and giving first aid.
The Police were fully occupied and could not
possibly have checked as to whether passengers were picking
up their own baggage or not.
The Police did their work good.
The foregoing is a true record of the
evidence I have given.
