WELLINGTON, Today Wairarapa enquiry resumed. The evidence of third officer corroborated chief officer’s statement re captain refusing to slow down or blow foghorn. He testified that captain was particularly attentive to duty on Sunday ; that captain was strong minded and tempered man. Emily Dickerson, passenger, next examined, said chief officer behaved very well during time she saw him. Dr Coughtrey, of Dunedin, has made statement' that before Capt. Mclntosh started on his last voyage to Sydney he had just recovered from three attacks of influenza, and had consulted him complaining of nervous prostration and being unnerved. Dr Coughtrey suspects that Capt. Mclntosh’s judment may have been affected by this.
