Yice-Admiral Markham adheres to the details of the catastrophe as given in despatches. He told bis flag-lientenant that the movement ordered by Admiral Tryon was impossible.
Staff-Commander Smith said Admiral Tryon’s last words just before the ship turned over, were addressed to a midshipman on the bridge, to whom he said “Don’t stop youngster ; go to the boat.” The Lord Mayor’s fund, on behalf of the sufferers by the naval disaster, has closed.
