The President: What is half speed in your ship? Well, I usually judged by the gauges. I should say she was doing about six knots.

The President announced that the court bad heard all the evidence it thought necessary and asked Captaio Liddell and Mr. Vaux if they would like to say anything. Neither having any remarks to make the Court adjourned until 2.30 this afternoon.
This afternoon the President read the finding of the Court. After traver» sing the evidence it statëd that the Court suspended the master's certifi cate for two years on the ground that “he falled to take a bearing of the Cape of Good Hope light, which simple proceeding would have avert- ed the causalty."
It would, however, grant him a first mate's certificate during the period of suspension.
