At the Titanic enquiry, Lord Mersey remarked that the collision occurred in the region mentioned in the Mesaba's wireless message, but apparently that message did not reach the Titanio's bridge, otherwise the disaster would not have occurred, or else'there had 'been. gross carelessness. Apparently, Phillips, the operator, was uaiable to judge the importance of the message, or he was too busy to attend to it. There was no evidence as to Mr lamay's- interference •with' the navigation of the vessel. Lord Mersey added, that he; was satisfied that a record passage was not being made. The crew, he said, behaved extremely well.
