Ward-Atkins at the 1908 Championship

I was playing through their round seven game (number 42 here) and knowing already that Black had won, I was surprised to see the game score terminate at move 19 with White at least a little better. The suggestion in the annotations is that White lost on time - does anybody know if this is correct, and /or anything more about the circumstances in which the game ended?

Thanks very much! Do you know what the time limit was? Twenty moves in an hour?
