THE EMILIE DISASTER.
[BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Invhrcargill, Friday. Re finding of the Court in the Emilie disaster, Green and Cumming, who, with Meek, are still confined to the hospital, their feet being in a bad state, say that, in justice to the late Capt. Small, one or two facts should be stated. In conversation with the crew while in port, they (Green and Cumming) were told that the captain was very careful about stowing timber, even going as far as keeping it off the vessel's skin two or three inches. They say he would not have stowed timber to endanger the ships, unless he intended to lose her. The captain was q»ite as well qualified to stow as the stevedore, if not, he had no business to be captain. and even allowing timber to be improperly stowed, the vessel would never have collapsed so suddenly unless she had been in bad condition.
