COLLIER CAUSE OF WRECK
Change in Storstad's Course Blamed
For Collision With Liner.
Quebec Alfred Tuftenes, third of
ficer of the Danish collier Storstad,
was held by the wreck commission to
be directly to blame for the collision
with the Empress of Ireland in the St
Lawrence river that caused the loss
of more than 1,000 Ufes.
The commission finds the young
mate was "wrong and negligent in
keeping the navigation of the vessel
in his own hands and falling to call
the captain when he Baw the fog com
ing on."
The report says the disaster was not
due to any special characteristics of
the SL Lawrence. It was a disaster
which might have occurred in any
river in similar circumstances. It is
held that the dominant cause of the
collision was the Storstad's change of
course, which the third officer ordered
without ponsulting his superior, the
first officer, who was in charge of the
ship at the time.
