"Master Mariners.
The Southampton Master Mariners' Club, representing be- tween 400 and 500 foreign-going discussed at masters, having length the question of concurrert jurisdiction in international law so far as it concerns merchant shipping, considers that penal cognisance of maritime mishaps involving loss of life should be. long solely to the country whose flag is flown in the ship by which
This in the wrong is done." teresting and important resoln tion was unanimously passed by the members of the club at their weekly luncheon meeting in mail week when Captain J. G
Saunders, R.D., R.N.R., occupied
the chair.
He would very much like to see the, proposition made law, but imagined that if such jurisdiction was agreed to in respect of sea- men, then everyone who travelled abroad who was involved in trou ble would probably claim the same thing.
Captain Clarke, replying, said that the point behind the resolu-

Bombay, July 24. The Crosshill, of which Graham's Trading Company are the agents, put back from rea on Wednesday

The fire was subsequently tinguished, but the Captain received injuries.

The vessel carried д general cargo consisting of 5,049 bates of Indian cotton for Dunkirk, 5,200 cwts. of linseed and 1,250 tons of manganese ore.
It appears that the Crosshill (2.805 tons) left Bombay on July 15 for Dunkirk vla The position as
Marmugoa, with matters stood at the present time was that in the event of a collision or stranding occurring abroad, the master or officer in charge of a vessel could be thrown into gaol. They wanted to make as sure as they could that a ship- master should know under what particular system of law he was nothing to fear from trial under to be tried, for whereas he had the law of his own country, he ger that the masters or officers might quite reasonably have fear of British ships might be arrested of being tried under foreign juris- in foreign countries for offences
