When the inquiry was transferred to the senate committee room in Wash ingtou the following facts w e r e testi fled to by F o u r t h Officer Boxhall of the Titanic: T h a t fifteen minutes before the Titanic sank he saw the masthead a n d red side lights of a ship five miles a w a y , coming straight toward the liner. He signaled with rockets and by Morse to the ship, which veered off without answering. T h a t the iceberg, which could not have risen more than thirty feet above t h e water's surface, struck the Titanic midway between the bow and the for ward portion of the starboard side. Some splinters of ice from t h e ber^ were deposited on the lower deck. T h a t the examination u p w a r d s from the steerage made by the fourth officer showed no evidence of internal d a m age. but shortly after his return to t h e bridge water w a s reported from t h e mail room. He found It within two feet of the deck. T h a t he saw no effort to rush a lifeboat nor s a w a n y one refuse to enter a boat, although he heard on the Carpathia that there had been m a n y such instances. Colonel Astor, t h e only American he knew by sight, w a s not seen by him after the collision.
