The Victoria Disaster
(PBB PBESS ASSOCIATION.) London, July 26. Capt. G. Noel, of the Temeraire, Baid Admiral Tryon's manoeuvres were frequently obscure but never dangerous. He thought the Camperdown and Victoria ought to have asked assistance for their crews when it was seen a collision waj likely to happen. Captain Noel said he signalled to the Victoria to repeat the signal, believing the evolution ordered was impossible. He hoped to the last that Admiral Markham would disobey the order. Most of the other captains in the fleet concurred that the manoeuvre would be dangerous unless the Victoria intended to circle outside the Camperdown. The captain of the Phaeton said Admiral Tryon had made a similar mistake before.
