She will No Order Sent To Stop Engine Of Burning Ship KEW YORK, Sept. The final order Irom the bridge of the burning liner Morro Castle to the engine room would have left the ship turning crazily in circles, it was adduced today at a Federal inquiry into the disaster.

The log of William W. Tripp, cadet engineer on the Morro Castle, was read before the Department of Commerce board headed by Dickerson N. Hoover, and it showed that the last order telegraphed from the bridge called for: "Pull speed ahead on the starboard engiaer; full speed astern on the port engine." Tripp, a Boston Tech student, testified that his order, as noted in hjs log, came at 3:21 o'clock, but that in the confusion and growing heat of the engine room, it was not carried out. At no time, his log disclosed, did an order come from the bridge to stop the least not up to 3:29 when the telegraph system between bridge and engine "room stopped working. Tripp described how the smoke poured into the engine room, how he and his fellow-workers lighted matches and groped through shafts and up ladders to salety after the lights went out.

"The smoke came on us lik a fog," the wtiness said. "Were the ventilators the cause?" "They could have been one cause," he replied. ueried further, he 'said he knew of one reason why the ventilating system was not down. The ship's engines were stopped about two minutes after, the lights went out, he said. By JOHN SELBY Hugh Walpole's "Captain Nicholas" returns Mr.

Walpole and his readers to the present, with the purpose of contemplating at leisure what happens when a wholly conscience-less man settles himself in the midst of a wholly content and thoroughly proper family. And Mr. Walpole fulfills his purpose with his accustomed straightforwardness. Captain Nicholas is just no good. He has been living without a qualm complete on his charm and whomever was convenient for 10 years.

He has not written his sister Fanny. And suddenly he arrives at her house. Slowly Fanny, her husband Charles, her children, her mother-in- law and her brother are drawn into Nicholas' power. He subtly sets one against another, usually without anyone's realizing it. There is a counter theme in the experience of Nicholas' clever but vaguely reptilian daughter.

There is a perfectly prepared, the end. Mr. Walpole has seldom written better prose than in "Captain Nicholas."
