The captain of the Californian deposed that he was trying to converse by means of Morse lamp signals wit* unknown signals apparently' between him and the Titanic. Ho was certain it was her white rockets that ho had seen and not distress signals. She was six miles off . He did not believe it was the Titanic. He admitted mat if the Marconi operator had been aroused when the rockets were seen be would have picked up the Titanic’s messages.

Gibson, apprentice, gave evidence that Stone, second officer, looked through his glasses and reported that the vessel had a heavy list. Lord Mersey sharply examined Stone, who denied Gibson’s statement and assorted that he only thought they might have been distress signals after he heard of the disaster.
