The witness said that he did not know what the tests of the water that day showed. No reports had been made to him. He did not think it necessary that night, when he was on the bridge in charge, to make tests for the purpose of finding out if the Titanic was in the vicinity of icebergs. ICEBERGS REPORTED. “Did you know that the Amerika had reported to the Titanic the location of icebergs in that neighborhood?” asked Senator Smith. “I heard of the message, but I didn’t know that it was the Amerika.” “Did you get from Captain Smith that night any information about the icebergs?” “Not that night,” said Lightholder. “I think it was in the afternoon, about 1 o’clock. I was on the bridge, having relieved First Officer Murdock, who had gone to lunch.” Captain Smith, he said, told him of the wireless message from the Amerika about the icebergs. Lightholder said he couldn’t recall just what position the ship was in then, but he could work it out on the chart. When Chief Officer Murdock returned to the bridge, Lightholder said, he told him exactly the information Captain Smith had communicated to him. “What did Murdock say?” asked Senator Smith. “All right,” replied Lightholder. “So the chief officer of the ship was fully advised by you that you were in proximity to icebergs?” he was asked. “Yes, sir.” “How fast was the boat going at that time?” “Between 21½ and 22 knots.” “Was that her maximum speed?” “So far as we knew,” said Lightholder, “she could go faster than that if pushed. We understood that that was not her maximum speed.” “During your voyage, did you know you were in the vicinity of ice?” Senator Smith asked. “I knew some had been reported.” He said the ship was not in proximity to icebergs Saturday or Sunday, although he knew the ship would be near ice on Sunday night. The witness said he knew nothing of the Amerika and the Titanic talking by wireless about icebergs. Senator Smith asked if he sought to send any wireless messages from the Titanic after she struck. He said not. MR. ISMAY’S REMARKS. Turning to the subject of lifeboats, Mr. Ismay said he heard the captain give the order to lower the boats. “I then left the bridge.” Three boats, he said, he saw lowered and filled. In his own boat were four members of the crew and forty-five passengers. “Was there any jostling or attempt by men to get into the boats?” asked Senator Smith. “I saw none.” “How were the women selected?” “We picked the women and children as they stood nearest the rail.” Representative Hughes handed Senator Smith a note, and then the chairman told Mr. Ismay that it was reported that the second lifeboat left without its full complement of oarsmen, and from 11.30 until 7.30 women were forced to row the boat. “I know nothing about it.” Representative Hughes’ daughter was in this boat and was assigned to watch the cork in the boat and, if it came out, to use her finger as a stopper.
