The cause of the sudden disaster to the supposedly seaworthy vessel remained in doubt. Several theories were advanced by survivors. One was that the cargo hatches were not securely fastened, another that the bow was stove in by a mountainous wave, and another that a coal hole was left open due to rusted hinges.

CAP) Evans Hampden, a negro fireman of the wrecked Vestris, landed by the oil tanker Myriam. today, voic3 on behalf of the 23 firemen of the party the belief that an SOS should have been broadcast by the Vestris at 8 oclock Sunday night, when he said the ship was listing at 15 degrees and water in the fireroom was hip-deep. The disaster. Hampden believed, was due mostly to a coal hole on the portside, four inches above the water line, which he said was open six inches when the Vestris sailed from Hoboken. N.

and which was so defective it could not be closed. When Hampden went on duty in the fire room at four oclock Sunday morning, he said, the chief engineer was warned that water was leaking through the hole into the coal bunkers, but two men were unable to force the door closed with heavy wooden hammers. When he went off duty at 8 oclock, he said, the water was ankle deep in the fire room, and when he returned at four in the afternoon. it had already put out the fires under the starboard boiler and was coming in fast. At last, before he went off duty at 8 Sunday night, a bucket brigade was passing coal from bunkers to furnace doors while bedroom stewards helped bail the boiler room.

A heavy lurch of the ship sent the water up to the mens necks. the owners, the Lamport Holt Line, issued a statement expressing the belief that the cargo of crated automobiles in the hold had shifted, breaking open a bulkhead and starting a leak which permitted the seas to rush in. He said this possible shifting of the cargo could have been caused by the heavy seas the ship encountered. He reported the surviving officers as saying that never in their experience had they seen such gigantic seas. The captain of the Vestris, William J.

Carey, who might have explained it all, is dead. Several survivors told of seeing him at the rail of the ship as she took, her fatal plunge and then without a lifeboat he either Jumped or was swept into the water. Goodbye all, were his parting words as he at A. R. CHAMBERS, M.

Jr carries the information that in graduating from Brooks Field to Kelly Field he has been assigned to the pursuit phase of training in military aviation. There are four branches of military aviation; pursuit, attack, observation and bombardment. The pursuit ships are the only ones which enter into actual aerial combat with enemy planes; the Job of the pursuit pilot is to meet enemy planes in the air and shoot them down if possible. The ships are the fastest in the service, hav ing a top speed of 170 miles an hour. The attack planes do ground straffing act of diving low over enemy troops on the ground and pouring machine gun fire into them as they go over.

The observation pilots locate enemy lines from the air, take photographs, make maps and do similar work of gathering information for the use of those who are directing ground The bombardment planes are those which do the carrying and dropping of heavy bombs. Each cadet, when he graduates from Brooks to Kelly Field, is allowed to express his choice of which of the four phases he would prefer to specialize in. His record and the recommendation of his instructor, however, govern whether or not he will be assigned to his choice. Charles requested pursuit work and was given it, a matter of a great deal of satisfaction to him. Doctor Munford Waives Preliminary Hearing Kinsley.
