NEW MATHILDE INQUIRY RESUMED

(Continued from Page 17) about 4.a.m. It was not necessary to take soundings of the bilges in the engine room as they were visible. While underway, the second engineer was on duty and I went down at 8 a.m. The ship had a slight list to starboard, and at about 8.30 am., when I was having breakfast, the list increased. I returned to the engine room made sure that the starboard bilges were being pumped to full capacity which was not abnormal.

"As the list was becoming, uncom→ fortable, we had the ballast pump started and I went to the bridge and requested that the starboard tank be pumped to reduce the list. This was the necessary granted and I took steps."

Commander Hole: "What is the capacity of your pumps" "I do not know."
