MARINE COURT
DANGER AT THE YAUMATI SHELTER
CARELESS COXSWAIN
THE CHINA MAIL,
Before Mr. T. W. H. Hosegood, Assistant Harbour Master, at the Marine Court this moming the master [ of a passenger boat was charged with carrying cargo, when his licence was expressly limited to passengers,
The "cargo comprised only eight Jempty baskets, which, accused said, had | been given him by a friend sa fire-
wood.
In view of the fact that the baskets contained nothing, accused was' dis- charged with a warning.
The master of another passenger boat was charged with transporting six sacks of potatoes, contrary to his licence. Admitting the offence a fine of $10 or 10 days was imposed.
Coxswains in Trouble
Wong Wing, coxswain of the s.. "fing Lee," was charged with enter. ing the Yaumati Shelter at a speed in excess of three knots an hour, The prosecution alleged that he failed to rua his engines at a dead-slow speed. The offence, it was explained to the accused, was serious, as a great amount for traffic was continually passing in and out of the shelter. An accident could quite easily be the result of his (accused's) caruieseness in not comply.
ing with the law. A fine of $10 with
the alternative of 10 days" hard labour was imposed.
For failing to exhibit regalation- lights while underway in the harbour, the coxswain of s.1. "Hoy Hing" was fined $15 or, in default, 15 days' in- prisonment. It was alleged that the accused was towing a auraber of logs behind his launch, which is Worship' en phasised, made the offence morc
serious.
