N. G. MITCHELL-ÎNNES,
Hon, Secretary.
Board of Examiners,
Hongkong, 12th August, 1884.
GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 309.
The following finding of a Marine Court appointed to enquire into the loss of the British Stean- ship Marlborough, is published for general information.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 30th August, 1884.
FINDING.
W. II. MARSH,
Colonial Secretary,
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 Point. (North extreme of the Island of Hainan).
We are of opinion that the loss of the ship is due to the Master, MAX. KUNATH, placing too much confidence in the Chinese Pilot, by not ascertaining his position by bearings; by trying to shave the reef too closely, and by not keeping the lead going.
We hereby direct that the Certificate of Competeney, No. 567. Singapore, of the Master o suspended for a period of six months from this date.
We recommend that Max. KUNATu be provided with a First Mare's Certificate. Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 27th day of August, 1834.
II. G. THOMSETT, ... Stipendiary Magistrate.
