Monroes Captain testifies on fog rule collision
Philadelphia Feb 13 Captain Edward F E Johnson of the steamship Monroe testified in the trial of Captain Osmyn Berry charged with negligence. He said following the fog rule might have prevented the collision but would have violated the rule. He explained hearing Nantuckets fog whistle and backing the Monroe while attempting to avoid the other vessel. The testimony explored whether adherence to the rule precipitated the crash and whether remaining entangled would have aided in rescue.
