44 On the second occasion, which was on January 25, the damage was greater. This happened in a moderato gale, with rough sea from southeast. The barometer had fallen to 29.70 and the weather had been bad for a couple of days. The dock was kept head to sea by the Chesar and "Brutus," the "Brutus' engines being stopped, that of the "Caesar" just turn- ing over and the dock northward and west and all drifting to

At noon on the 27th we were able to get hold of the dock again, although there was a very long sen rolling. Be tween the Potomac " and "Brutus," still in tow of "Caesar," assisted by a whale boat from this ship, we got dock in tow, the wire line being shackled to a chain bridle at "Brutus" stern, the dock being started again on its proper course at about 7.15 p.m."
The chain bridle broke again at stern of "Brutus" on January 29, and the dock was adrift. This time she was finally got in tow not far from where she drifted pre- viously. This time the dock was taken in tow from the other end, while the Manila spane in the forward end, were being re- paired." Commander Hosley adds that there have been no serious accidents to the personnel of the flotilla, although many minor injuries have been suffered owing to the parting of the gear. the work of the officers and

Detective Sergeant Wilden proceeded against Messrs Wo Hing Chan, as charterers of the steamer "Rein" at the Magistracy this morning, for despatching the vessel from the waters of the Colony without a clearance from the Harbour Office stating the number of passengers carried. Mr R. Harding appeared, for the defendants, and entered a plea of not guilty.
Sergeant Wilden said that the vessel was leaving on April 8th. with 25 passengers on board, and the clearance did not allow any. He stopped the ship as she was about to leave for Bangkok.
