“LEUNG KWONG” ENQUIRY VERDICT.
MANSLAUGHTER PROVED.
THE CHINA MAIL.
Many important recommenda tions regarding grilles, life-saving appliances, the need of proper supervision of river steamers and the anomalous position under which the lives of some hundreds of passengers may be entrusted to an aged skipper unacquainted with new regulations applying to his ship were made on Saturday by the jury which considered the circumstances attending the loss of life resulting from the colli- sion between the 8.9. "Leung | Kwong" and the s.1. "Moonshine'
in Capenimun Pass on May 9.
The jury (consisting of Mr. F. F. Hall, foreman, Mr. W. Logan and Mr. J. E. Joseph) returned a verdict of manslaugh- ter against the Chinese pilot of the "Leung Kwong" and he is to

Jury's Full Finding. The jury's finding was follows:-
as
After a review of the evidence that has come before us, we find that F. E. A. Martin, and many others unknown, met their death through drowning as a result of the collision between the S.L. "Moonshine" and the 5.3. "Leung Kwong," which took place in the Capsuimun. Pass on the night. of May 9, 1927, and whereby the latter vessel was sunk. We attribute the collision to the improper naviga- tion of the s.s. "Leung Kwong," which navigation, in our opinion) as laymen, was faulty to the point} of being grossly negligent. Our
