THE UARPATHIA S SPEED THE CAPTAIN THANKED. (Received Last Night, 5.5 o'clock.) LONDON, June 22. At the Titanic enquiry, Captain Rostron gave evidence that he raised the Carpathia's speed to 17-J- knots on receipt of the Titanic's wireless message. If it had been a clear night, and unless he knew there was a ]ot of ice about, he would feel perfectly justified in going full speed. The Titanic's passengers had told him that the earlier boats to leave the Titanic were not filled with passengers, because the people did not want to go away from the vessel. The Attorney-General, on behalf of the Government, thanked Captain Rostron for saving so many lives.
