THE STORSTAD'S CAPTAIN.
CRITICISED BY CAPTAIN --ENDALL. Captain Kendall said it was impos-tf-le for the Storstad's captain to have failed to hear i__ (Captain Kendall's) . order to "Stand fast and not go astern. Even if he did not hear tho call to "Keep ahead," as a seaman he ought to havo known what to do. There waa no explosion, but tho escaping steam might, have mado a . noise like ono.
The Empr-M of Ireland carried au ample number of boats, And there waa room in them for hundreds more than were aboard. Ho cut freo tho boat., and thoy floated ofi when tho vessel sank. Tho Storstad rescued only a few of the survivors. A Governmont steamer, with flagflying at half-mast, brought 175 coffins to Quebec. It is believed that tho remainder ot the de_d aro -till imprisoned in tho hull of tho Bunkcn liner.
