Aug. .28: Denial that any fault of his had caused the sinking of the steamer Prince Rupert at Esquimau last March was voiced by Herbert H. Boyd, former chief engineer, at the marine inquiry into the mishap yesterday It was through the Insistent demands of Chief Engineer Boyd, who, along with the second engineer first officer, third officer, two firemen and watchman, was discharged after the aclcdent, that the inquiry has been held. Most of these officers are seeking reinstatement. Captain's Suggestion Suggestion that the Prince Rupert sank while moored at Yarrows Esquimau dock on March 6 because a . ballast tank was allowed to overflow through a sounding well Into ,.he stern of the ship and subsequent settling allowed water to flow into the vessel through open glory-hole ports, was made by Capt. Daniel Donald, master, at an opening cf the Inquiry. , Capt, Donald nar asked tqalve hlstlSof?o5 whaTSapWt D. Mae-pherson. Dominion wreck commissioner, described as being "an ex-J traordlnary casualty." Hesitating because he said he; could not prove his theory, Copt, i Donald, who was not on the ship' when she sank, said that Chief Engineer H. H. Boyd had told him that No. 6 tank was being filled the night the ship sank. Boyd had told the fireman to turn off the water at 9 pjn. Capt. Donald said he believed that the water overflowed. Ports In the nearby glory-hole had been left open to ventilate new painting. He thinks the sea water eventually entered through those ports and sank the ship. Sounding Well Theory In his testimony he explained that the overflow pipe from the ballast tank emerges on deck, but that a sounding well leads from the Inter ior of the ship. He said that this sounding well has a cock. "Wat It closed?" asked counsel. That Is a question," he replied. Commissioner Macpherson ruled that the master was not In a position to answer that question. It was one for the chief engineer. The accident happened on a Fri day. Capt. Donald testified that he left the ship at n am. to come to Vancouver for the week-end. After Inspecting the ship before leaving ho, was sure she was in perfectly safe condition as to drought and stability. He said that glory-hole ' ports were then about two and one-half feet above water. Seattle Urges House Session On Employment SEATTLE.
