FINDING.
CLAUD SEVERN,
Colonial Secretary.
The Court finds that the charges of misconduct preferred against Mr. John Taite Naylor, 2nd Mate of the British S.S. Foochow, the number of whose certificate of competency as Master is 034,314 Cardiff, proved, insomuch that (1st) on the 21st June, 1913, he came on board the said ship at 8.10 p.m. under the influence of liquor, and created a disturbance which caused an attack to be made upon him by the Chinese crew, which might have had serious results; (2nd) that on the night of the 7th July, 1913, being officer in charge of the bridge, he wilfully disobeyed the orders of the Master and Mate of the said ship, by neglect- ing to take a four point bearing of the Karang Koko Light; and, when ordered by the Master to leave the bridge, refused to do so.
We therefore direct that his certificate of competency be suspended for two calendar months.
Given under our hands in Victoria, Hongkong, this 1st day of August, 1913.
