Senator FLETCHER.
You testified regarding that iceberg. You said, as I recall, that you saw an iceberg passing on the starboard side?
Mr. CRAWFORD.
Yes; after the collision.
Senator FLETCHER.
Where were you?
Mr. CRAWFORD.
I was on B deck. I went out from B deck, out to the promenade there.
Senator FLETCHER.
That was aft?
Mr. CRAWFORD.
No, sir; forward.
Senator FLETCHER.
You were forward?
Mr. CRAWFORD.
Yes, sir.
Senator FLETCHER.
On B deck?
Mr. CRAWFORD.
On B deck.
Senator FLETCHER.
And you saw the iceberg, the iceberg that struck the ship?
Mr. CRAWFORD.
I saw the iceberg going along the starboard side, sir.
Senator FLETCHER.
Just describe that iceberg, please.
Mr. CRAWFORD.
It looked like a large black object going alongside the ship.
Senator FLETCHER.
Could you tell us about the size?
Mr. CRAWFORD.
I could not see the top because there was a deck above us.
Senator FLETCHER.
It was higher than B deck?
Mr. CRAWFORD.
Oh, yes; much higher.
Senator FLETCHER.
And how close was the side of the ship to it?
Mr. CRAWFORD.
It did not seem very far away.
Senator FLETCHER.
Could you tell anything about the dimensions of it, as to the length or the width?
Mr. CRAWFORD.
No, sir; I could not. I just saw the object scrape alongside the ship.
Senator FLETCHER.
Did it come in contact with the side of the ship?
Mr. CRAWFORD.
I do not think so.
Senator FLETCHER.
That is all.
(Witness Excused.)
