THE TITANIC DISASTER
THE SUMMING UP.
By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 1, 12.20 a.m. London, June 30. At the Titanic enquiry Sir Rufus Isaacs eaid that the Titanic did not desire to make a record. If her speed had been reduced to eight knots she might have collided with the berg, but would not have sunk. Only forty seconds elapsed between the sighting of the ice and the impact. It was idle to suggest that the accident was of a kind that must occur. Lord Mersey incidentally said that ho was inclined to think that the whole disaster was due to excessive speed.
