TAHITI WITNESSES
CRITICISM BY COUNSEL GREYCLIFFE INQUIRY Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. SYDNEY, Tuesday. The judicial inquiry into the Greycliffe disaster was continued to-day. In addressing the Court, counsel for Sydney Ferries Limited, criticised certain of the witnesses from the steamer Tahiti and the way in which they gave their evidence. He said they came into the Court with a false story. He then submitted that, notwithstanding statements to the contrary, the pilot, Captain Carson, not only intended to pass the Greycliffe, but he intended to pass her in what he himself realised was a dangerous proximity. The evidence tended to show that the whole of his navigation of the Tahiti was based on the supposition that the master of the Greycliffe had his eyes glued <*n the Tahiti all the time. —A. and N.Z.
