430 THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, AUGUST 16, 1929.
The course from Green Island was set S. 12 W. Compass (S. 11 W. True) and we are of the opinion that the Master knowing that there was a west set of approximately 14 knots and that the weather was very hazy and visibility low committed an error in judgment in not laying a course further to the Eastward of Ling Ting Island.
We are of opinion the actual grounding was caused by an abnormal set to the west- ward after passing Ling Ting Island.
We adjudge the Master, Mr. Herbert Robert Edmondson, to be reprimanded for his error of judgment.
Given under our hands at Victoria, in the Colony of Hong Kong, this 10th day of August, 1929.
