The majority of people iu marine circles maintain that the disaster was the re* ul1 of a collision, tat the diver will iind the hull cut into. The collision theory Is strengthened by the fact of the Burt's small boat being broken up, it being urged that a falling mast would not strike the boat but would go to one side or the other of the vessel as she rolled. There are people in marine circles, however, who do not think there was any collision and who attribute the loss of the tine vessel and her crew wholly to the fact I hat KHE HAD SOLID BULWARKS— was hulled up to the rail.
