Uleoeived lUO a.m., July 22nd.) London, July 21. Barr, Navigating Lieutenant of the Oamperdown, deposed that though Admiral Markham, Captain Johnstone, and himself were confident that the evolution ordered was impossible, Admiral Markham remarked, “ We have got to do it. Tryon means it,” at the same time piping the men to the collision stations. Had th& Oamperdown used her screws to aid her helm from the beginning she could easiljr have turned in less than 600 yards, bufc
that would not have been performing the evolution. When the ships were end on and turning towards each other the collision could have bean averted if the Victoria or Camperdown had reversed her helm.
