TITANIC JUDGMENT COMMENT BY THE TIMES MASTERLY AND THOROUGH REPORT.
By Telegraph.- Press Association.— Copyright. LONDON, 31et July. The Times, while demurring at the •words of tho chief finding regarding the wreck of the Titanic, declares that the collision was due to the course steered not less than to excessive speed. If the object (the iceberg) had been sighted in time tho speed would have been immaterial. The report, The Times says, declares that an extra look-out should have been placed at the stemhead and a sharp look-out should have been kept on both sides of the bridge, ahd adds that, apart from these points, the report is masterly, thorough, lucid, dispassionate, and firm in its declarations. The Times and other newspapers emphasise on the finding which blames the Board of Trade for ite omitting to revise the rules of 1894 relating to boat accommodation.
