AVOIDING A COLLISION.
Before Lient C. W. Beakwith, B.N., Marine Magistrato, at the Harbour Office to-day, an inquiry was held to consider, charges of alloged negligent navigation, against the coxswain of the Sin Tai Koo, in handling his steam launch whereby collision with the Southern Star very nearly took place.
E. Osborne stated that the Southern Star left the Ferry Wharf for Bomicon when the launch in question was coming from the west. ds-the two bonta ware about 100 yards from each other the launch altered her course to starboard' and blew ona blaas to avoid inimediato collision. The launch then went full spoed astern and witness noticed a small boy steering. Both vessels got to within 20 yards of oach other owing to the careless navigation on the part of the coxswain of the launch.
His Worship found that the cozownis the staan lanach was to blame for incurring risk of collision with the Southern Star by not altering his course to starboard in suficient tims and by trying to pa ahad of the ferry, A 500 of 83 was imposed, and defendant will have to pass again
before his cortificato is returned.
