Captain MeAinsh; How did you take the bearing?-By the compass on the bridge.

Why did you not take it by the standard compass-I didn't think it was necessary. I could see it 5 degrees on the poet bow. The other compass was away on the top. You! would have to take off the binnacle and only get the same results. The standard compass was only used for correcting the other.

Mr Davison: Did the Captaio eet his course by the steering com- pass? Sometimes by one and sometimes by the other.

What distress signals were used? -We fired detonators, which made loud explosions and lit up the whole ship like daylight.

Which way was this passing ship going was not sure about these two. I was very busy at the time.
