THE CHANNEL COLLISION

STATEMENT BY RUSSIAN CAPTAIN London, February 27. Captain Friedman, commander of the Tovarisch, lias made a statement that when the steamer Baron Douglas came alongside in response to the SOS, he explained that the Tovarisch was in no danger, but, perhaps, the other crew was in the water. He also broadcast a similar message. The Baron Douglas went off, presumably to render assistance. The Tovarisch, in response to later messages asking for reasons for the SOS, sent out “SOS clear applying only to ourselves.” The Tovarisch was unable to manoeuvre to render assistance because she was a sailing vessel. The Tovarisch was travelling at 6] knots about half an hour before she slowed up. She launched boats.
