[CoNTINUED FROM LAST WEEK.] or S. half W., we must have then swung enough to be crossing her course at nearly a right angle, that is, our heading must have | been about east or E. by S. when the blow | was struck; indeed the Pridgeon’s second mate is forced to recognize this and so testifies; and then, if we kept on, as we undoubtedly did, with hard a port wheel, while the Pridgeon was clearing us, and carried the head of the Pridgeon around and turned it in the direction we were going, until both vessels were about or nearly parallel, as all agree was done, is it possible, supposing all this to have | happened, that the Pridgeon’s heading would then have been about north? Would it not rather have been somewhere near east? The statement of the proposition is a demonstra- tion of it. No collision occurring in the manner required by the theory of respondent, could have left the Pridgeon heading north- erly after getting clear of the Chamberlain; the collision occurring substantially on the | theory, and in the manner presented by our witnesses, could have left the Pridgeon head- ing in no other direction than a northerly one, say between N. E. and N. According to the testimony from the Cham- berlain, she had swung about a quarter of a point from N. E., under the first order, which was to port a quarter of a poiut, when the bright and green lights of the Pridgeon were seen, and the order to hard a-port was then given. Under that order the best testimony is, that we had swung a couple or three points to the starboard or eastward, which would make our heading in the neighborhood of N. E. by N. or N. E. when we struck. We con- tinued going ahead, but with engine checked down to its lowest point of turning over, and with our wheel hard a-port, until the vessels cleared. The testimony of both crews unites then in the statement that we carried the head of the Pridgeon around, and that, when or after the vessels cleared, she was heading in a northerly direction. We continued under our hard a-port wheel until the collision was all past and the wheelsman had relighted the bin- nacle light, and we were then heading around only E. by N. If we were headed when struck, about N, E. by N. or N. E., (pp. 7, 19, 20,) the Pridg- eon, striking us ay the angle testified to by the crews of both vessels, must have headed at the instant of the.collision 8. E. by §. or in that neighborhood, which would agree with the statement once or twice made: by the captain of the Pridgeon, that his vessel was headed right into the wind, and that the wind was dead ahead at that time, although by the mate’s testimony, when he was out on deck from 23 "to 60: half an hour before the collision, when the vessel was on her course S. by W., she had the wind then on the port side. As 10 the course and conduct of the Prid— geon, I insist that at the time they made our light and for a little time before, they were nayigating their vessel solely with reference to clearing a schooner that was crossing her bow, the officers had given all their attention to that and were not attending or giving thought to the navigation of their vessel be- yond that, and the lookout was not only inex- perienced and incompeten and insuflicient for the occasion, but most likely had his at- tention diverted from his duties by the same cause. The captain of the Pridgeon is apparently unwilling to swear definitely and positively what her course was when they made the Chamberlain’s tight. The second mate can not swear to it, neither can the lookout, neither of the officers of her deck could see the compass, a fault in itself, and all these men say that they know abso- lutely nothing of the course except as they | depended on the wheelsman, who alone could see the compass if he chose. The master of the Pridgeon says that he; could, of his own personal knowledge, know. or judge of his course only by the direction of the wind, and by that standard he puts his course immediately before seeing our light certainly to the eastward of south, by saying that the wind was dead ahead, Every thing just at that time was depending on the wheels- man, so far as the course or any definite knowledge of the course was concerned, It comes out in the testimony of one of these men, that a short time before they made our light, they had to starboard for a schooner. This schooner was standing into land on a port tack, and would, therefore, be blowing two blasts of her horn. It is pretty: hard to get from the witnesses, other than the mate, a very definite idea of just when they were steering out for this schooner, but we do get a little light. For example, the wheelsman says, “ We cleared some vessels shortly before the collision.’ The lookout says, “I heard a blast of a fog-horn before I heard the Cham- berlain’s whistle. That was on our port bow, two blasts of the fog-horn,’’ The second mate says, “Just before I made the Chamber- lain we heard the vessel blowing two blasts of the fog-horn. The captain told the wheels- man to starboard half a point.” ete, The| [CONTINUED ON PAGE 6, PATENT FLUTED LENS PERFECT COLORS.
