STEERING-GEAR FAILED. (Red. 10.15 p.m.) LONDON, Sepfe. 21. The. impact w.as terrific, like the report of a heavy gun and was heard a mile away. Forty feet ot the Olympic's plates were to:.n, the cruiser's stem penetrating the secondclass cabins.
The .Tiawkc looked like turning turtle, but p.uiokly righted. Her stem was smashed from the waterline back to the hawser-hol«s.
The suddenness with which the. cruiser changed her course suggests that the steering-gear was at fault.
