FINDING.
We find that the British Steam-ship Marlborough, Official No. 76,985 of Singapore, 1,175 tons, was wrecked at about 1.20 P.M. on the 12th June, 1884, on a reef off Hainan Head (North extreme of the Island of Hainan).
We are of opinion that the loss of this ship is due to the careless navigation of the Master MAX. KUNATH.
We hereby direct that the Certificate of Competency No. 567 of Singapore of MAX. KUNATH be suspended for one year from this date. We recommend that MAX. KUNATH be provided with a First Mate's Certificate.
Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 15th day of July, 1884.
