THE TITANIC DISASTER.

VESSEL'S WIRELESS CALLS. By Telegraph—Prem Association—Copyright London, June 25. In connection with an action which has been brought by one Tliomaß Ryan against the Oceanic Steam Ship Company for damages for the death of his son, a passenger by the illfated Titanic, the jury found that there had been no -negligence on the part of the look-out, but that there had been negligence in not Teducing the speed of the vessel. The Judge having left the Court, judgment was not entered. The look-out man, who was on the Titanic at the time of the disaster, said in his evidence that lie saw a black object ahead shortly before the collision. If lie had had glasses he could have picked up the object in time to have averted tho collision. Many experts testified that the glasses wore valueless. The Judge ruled that the Marconi operators on the Titanic were not tho servants of the company, which was not, therefore, liable for negligence through any failure of duty on the part of the operators. The jury found that there was not sufficient evidence to say whether tho Mosaba's message was delivered to the Titanic's responsible officcTS.
