St. LAWRENCE DISASTER.
THE CAPTAINS GIVE EVIDENCE. By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] {Unitid Puaa« Association.] (Received 1.35 p.m.) Quebec, June 16. Captain Kendall, in his examination, told how the accident occurred, following much on the same lines as those given in the newspaper interviews. Captain Kendall, although still suffering from his injuries, refused to sit and addressed the Court standing. Mr Newcombe pointed out that the question of pilotage was not involved as the pilot had been dropped and the vessel was moving in a seaway thirty miles wide. The Storstad’s captain said he was unable to keep the vessel’s nose up to the Empress’s side. He had to swing round in a circle, and when he looked again the Empress had disappeared. Captain Kendall declared that the Storstad must have put her helm hard aport. The Storstad was proceeding at a fast rate.
