The Victoria Disaster
CPBB PBBSB ASSOCIATION.} London, July 20. At the court-martial to-day Rear* Admiral Markham, being closely pressed with respect to his reasons for the conclusion that when he saw that his interpretation was incorrect a collision was inevitable, admitted that he had never seen such a manoeuvre as he expected. The captain of the Camperdown deposed that he was confident that turning in six cables would compel a collision, until Rear-Admiral Markham suggested that Admiral Tryon intended to circle outside the second division. Personally, he was not convinced that the Victoria intended to do so.
