before the congressional committee
investigating .the Titanic disaster yes-
tsrday.
Adjusting his cuffs. Mr. Ismay was
visibly nervous 'when he took the
stand. He gave his age as 60 years
in response to a few formal questions,
he said he sailed as a voluntary pasé
sensor on the Titanic.
Senator Smith begun to ask the wit-
ness to detail his experience on the
Titanic. Mr. lsmay interrupted but
Senator Smith continued. Then Mr
lsmay said he desired to express his
sincere grief at the. catastrophe and
to welcome the fullest inquiry
Kindh tell the committee all the
circumstances surrounding your voy-
age. said Senator Smith.
First I wish to say that ii court the
fullest inquiry, said Mr. Ismuy. This
awful catastrophe i must say, at the
outsbt. I greatly deplore. We have
nothing to conceal, nothing to tilde.
The boat left Belfast, I think, on
the first of April. She underwent her
trials safely, and arrived at Southamp-

er. Mr. Andrews was on board, Mr. ls-
may said.
Did he survive? asked Mr. Smith.
Unfortunately, no.
Mr. Ismuy said it was arranged be-
tween hlm and Capt. Smith of the
Titanic not to sr'rite at New York

There would have been no advan
tags in arriving earlier, he added.
During your voyage did you know
that you were in the vicinity of ice?
SenatOr Smith asked

replied the witness‘
.He said the ship was not in prox-
imity to Icebergs Saturday or Sunday.
although he knew the ship would be
in the proximity oi Ice on Sunday
night. The witness said he knew noth-
ing of the Ainerlkn and the Titanic
talking by wireless about icebergs.
Senator Smith asked if he sought to
send wireless messages from the Tit
tanic after she struck. He said not. ,
Turning to the siibject oi lifeboats
Mr. ismay said he heard the captain
give the order to lower th boats.
x then left the bridge,. nacho the
official. .Tbroe bo‘ats. he said, he saw
lowered and filled. In his own boat
were four members of the crew and
45 passengers.
Was there any Jostllng or attempt
