Both vessels were using radar and he said both were sounding fog sig- nals. Capt. Louis L. Murphy, 33, told teporters when the smashed tanker reached here under tow: “The Santa Rosa kept coming end hit us on the port (left) side near the stern at high speed. We were stopped in the water when she hit.” His statement was in direct contradiction to the prior report by the Satta Rosa’s owners that the Valchem crossed in front of the liner in perfect weather.
