COFFINS LAID IN THREE LONG ROWS
?Mayor Called to Arbitrate Between Two Claimants to One
Body?Canadian Pacific Railway Company Exonerates
Captain Kendall of All Blame for Disaster.
Montreal. May 31.?The other side of the story of the coins'? ft
in the St. Lawrence last Friday morning between the Canadian
Pacific liner Empress of Ireland and the Norwegian collier Stor
stad, which resulted in the sinking of the liner, with the loss of
more than 900 lives, was told to-night. The master of the Storstad
denies the charge that he was responsible for the disaster.
Captain H. G. Kendall of the Empress of Ireland in his testi?
mony before the coroner at Rimouski yesterday placed the bl.'.** r
for the crash upon the collier, declaring the Norwegian ste.uner
had been amply warned bv signals of the Empress's presence. ')ut
had run the liner down while the Empress was virtually station?
ary. He also charged that his plea that the collier keep her bow
in the gash it had made in the side of the liner had been disre?
garded with apparent deliberation, causing the Empress to fill
rapidly and sink within a few minutes.
Captain Thomas Anderson of the Storstad had remained silent
on the subject of the collision until reaching Montreal, his destina?
tion, to-dav. After he had made a report to representatives cf the
Dominion Coal Company, charterers of the vessel, and of the own?
ers of the steamer, a statement based on his declarations to them
was given out to-night.
STORSTAD'S ENGINES STOPPED.
According to the statement, when the Empress of Ireland was
sighted and fog shortly afterward enveloped both vessels, fog sig?
nals were exchanged, and the Storstad's engines were stopped.
When she lost sight of the Empress in the river mists the latter's
course had been set so that the vessels would pass each other safe?
ly. The Storstad's course remained unaltered, the statement adds.
but when the Empress of Ireland was next seen she was close at
hand on the port bow of the collier, "and was making considerauie /?
headway." \1
It is declared that the Storstad's engines were at once reversed
and that her momentum was nearly checked when the vessels came
together.
As for the charge that the Storstad backed out of the hole
she tore into the Empress, the statement declares that it is not
true. Her engines were ordered ahead to hold her against the
liner's s'de. but the headway the Empress was under twisted the
collier ? now out of the gash, it is added. And not only did the col?
lier remain as ne.ar the scene of the collision as was safe, but every
one of her boats was lowered, despite her own damaged condition,
and saved some 350 of the liner's passengers and crew
?CENES OF MOURNING IN QUEBEC.
Quebec. May 31.?Amid scenes of mourning this city to-day
received the bodies of 188 victims of the Empress of Ireland dis?
aster. In the presence ot a solemn throng, bluejackets carried the col
fins containing the bodies ashore from the government stcamei Lady
Grey, which had brought them from Rimouski. and laid them, row
by row. in the black draped funeral shed on the pier. There, amid
pathetic scenes, many of them were speedily recognized and claimed
by relatives. It may be days before others, difficult of recognition,
ire identified.
Besides the 188 bodies which the Lady Grey had on board as.
escorted by the armored cruiser Essex, she steamed slowly into
port to-day, eighteen have been identified and cared for at Rimouski
by families of the dead. Search of the waters near Father Point.
where the Empress of Ireland sank early on Friday when rammed
by the Danish colli'.r Storstad, has revealed few more of the vic?
tims, and it seems probable that the bodies of hundreds ok tie
more than 900 persons whose lives were lost when the steamship
went down lie imprisoned within her shattered hull, resting on
the bottom, ninety feet below the surface of the St. Lawrence
River
Investigation into the responsibility for the disaster, bepun
yesterday before a coroner's jury at Rimouski, was adjourned for
a week, after Captain Henry G. Kendall and the chief engineer^
the Empress of Ireland had given testimony placing the \ 'ame
for the collision on the Storstad, and declaring that the sinking of
the liner was hastened by the seemingly deliberate withdrawal o?
the colliers prow from the hole it had made in the Empress's side.
