Mr. J. J. Gibbison. purser, stated that at 11.45 am. he was called to the telephone and was told that the person speaking gave the name of Mr. Williamson. Ten minutes later, he was called again and the caller told witness that he was Mr. Williamson, who was a first-class passenger from Manila to Vancou-

ver.
