on that deck. I waded through the water and got on the bithet with the help of a piece of timber part out from the Rither. To mr. irving. I saw some Chinaman in the salon trying to get life preservers. JLeng
[strikethrough] Stewart Keenan [/strikethrough] suvivor. I was a deed hand on the Enterprise at the time of the collision. I had been at the wheel up to about three minutes before the colli -sion. The mate leech relieved me. The Rither was in sight and blew a whistle as I came out of the first house door and at the same time Capt Rudlin passed in. I then went down to the lower deck and remained there. [strikethrough] The steamer were heading straight for each other. I did not observe the Enterprise swinging at all. [/strikethrough] If the helm was put over she would swing shortly afterwards within a very few seconds. Anybody could see that the Rither was trying to turn into the Enterprise. The Enterprise was very near the finish and had like on no loom to port her helm. She was from 250 to 300 yards from the fruit.
To Mr. Irving. The lower deck is covered by the saloon deck. I was standing on the port side within tenth of where the Rither struck. The the Rither was within 150 feet of us she altered her course steered towards us. I don't know whether she stay boarded or forted. There was only one man at her wheel. After she took the sheer the Enter prise slow bell sounded.
