COLLISION IN. A TYPHOON.
"LAI SANG""POCAHONTAS.",
Before the Right Hon. Sir Samuel Evans President, Probate, Divorce, and Admiralty Division sitting with two of the Eider Brethren of the Trinity House, on December 7th.
An action was brought by the owners of the steamship Pocahontas against the owners of, the steamship Lai Sang, to recover the amount. of the damage sustained by reason of a collision which took place between the two vessels in Hongkong harbour during a typhoon on tho early morning of July 28, 1908.
According to the statement of claim, the Pocahontas, a scrow steamship belonging to the port of Liverpool, of 2,675 tone gross register, was at anchor in Hongkong harbour waiting to load. The weather was overcast with heavy rain, and there was a typhoon blowing, warning signals of which had been holsted! in the harbour on the previous afternoon, the wind blowing with considerable violence from about 8.E. The Pocahontas lind both hor an obars out with 20 fathoms of cable on the star board anchor and 60 fathoms on the port, und with her anchors head to the wind. Her ordin- ary forward riding light had been blown out, but who carried two regulation white lights, one on each side in the lighthouse on the forecastle about 15ft. from the main deck and a regulation anchor light oft. In these circoamtances those on board her observed distant about 200 yards and bearing about three points on the starboard bow the masthead and red lights of a steamship which proved to be the Lai Song. The Lai Fang approaclied and, after fouling the cables of the Pocahontas, with her port side struss the stem of the Pocahontas, doing her considerable damage and causing her to part her cables and to drive ashore on Stonecutter Island, The Pocahontas whilst ashore sustained very heavy damages, but was ultimately salved.
According to the defence, the Lai Sang, a sorow steamer of 3,440 tons gross register, be. longing to the Indo-Chins Steam Navigation. Company (Limited), had been driven over from ker moorings in the typhoon, but had managed to bring up. She was sent adrift again by an unknown vessel going scross her cable and part- ing it, and was being rapidly driven by the storm in a N.N.W. direction, in spite of her engines being used as much as possible. In these elroumstances she was driven into collision with two unknown steamers, within a sprea of about 10 minutes, and without anything being seen of either till immediately before collision. The port side of the Lai Sang took the stems of the two steamers, and shortly afterwards the wee cast ashore on Stonecutter Island.
The defendants denied negligence, and pleaded the collision with the Pocahontas (if the collision in fact was with her) was the result of an inevitable ecoident so far as the defendants were concerned, They further pleaded that if it was possible to do anything in such a typhoon (which they denied) the Pocakontes ought to have stopped and-or reversed her engines.
Mr. Aspinall, K., and Mr.. D. Stephen appeared for the plaintiffs; and Mr. Laing, KC, and Mr. Bateson, K.C., for the defendants.
JUDGMENT.
The President, in giving judgment, said that the case was brought by the owners of the Pocahontas against the owners of the Lai Sang in respect of a colisión which took place in a typhoon of a very severe and Berco pharacter. So far as the evidence, was concerned all the witnesses stated that they had never experienced so fierce a typhoon as this one. The question was whether the plain- tiffa bad established that there was an absence of reasonable care on the part of the master of the Lai Sang There were not many facts in dispute. The red signal was shown at 12.45 p.m. on July 27, indicating that a typhoon was blowing, but more than 300 miles away from the harbour. At 6.20 p.m. the black signal was put` up, indicating that the typhoon was approaching nearer and was within a radius of 300 miles, Nothing turned on the precautions taken when the red signal was put up, but it was quite clear that reasonable precautions and great care-for reasonable care in this case meant great care- had to be taken. Both the vessels got up steam, and in this they did richt. The sfest of the La Borg was up by 11 o'clock, and no point was made by Mr. Aspinall, for the plaintiff, that it ought to have beon get up earlier,

let go or that she did not steam to a safe anchor- age. Nothing, in fact, was done till 11 pm.in view of the storm which was then incrossing, but at 11 they veered out 15 fathoms of cable from No 3 busy at which the Ini Bong wes lying At 11.30 pm. rockets were fired, con- stituting asigual that the storm was passing over the colony, and would be felt strongly. Up to that time the Lai Bans was moored to the buoy, and' no steps had been taken to secure her by dropping the port anchor, but later, about 1.10 in the morning, they fried to get more chain ant between the ship and the boy-in order to drop the port szchor; but before this could be done the cable and wire parted. The port anchor was then let go. at once. It was said that at 1.45 the Lai Sang broke adrift again by being fouled by some other vessel; but it was left in doubt, and he was not satisfied that the captain and mate had proved that the foaling was the cause of the cable parting.
The Lai Bang was then hopelessly and help 1719 losely adrift, and she drove on to the Pocahontas, and both vessels wont sahore and offered asmage. Was anything omitted to be done on the Lai Saug, and did her master approcinta the necessity of taking care to protect his vessel from the ravages of the typhoon if it arrived It was raid that the Pocahontas did not take. precautions till 10 p.m., but she had got up steam, and at 100'olock moored with two anchors, and kept herself head to wind by usine her engines. During the height of the typhoon there was evidence that she dragged, but she anned her cables by going ahead with her engines, and he found that she was" for all purposes material to the, core's vessel at anchor. Tur ing-again to the Lai Bang, her master said that when the black signal was put up he did think it necessary to do anything except propare to get up steam, and that the signal did not mean anything serious to him: He was moored to the baos for the purpose of leading, and tho resalt of the evidence poin ed to the conclusion that he was taking the risk of riding out the typhoon at the busy. He said he had another cable, imt he did not expect any daar till ds. and never gave the storm & thought. He chore to take the risk, which was fantamount to saying be was pot taking reasonable cars and caution, There were two possible courses open to him, and it was net for him (the learned President) to say which should have been taken, The Lal Sang might have gone to another chorage to get away from the traffe, or she might and in his opinion ought to have taken greater presentions as regards her mooring to No. 3 buoy it was not reasonable to frust to one cable after being warned by the two signals, It would have been quite easy at the proper time

Sanatogen produces the remarkable results to which those distinguished men attens by being at once a food and a tonic, each of which helps and reinforces the other. No secret has ever been made of its composition, which, on the contrary, has always been oponly stated. It is made of milk proteld, the substance on which the food value of malik dopenda, and a special form of phosphorus, one of the most important constituents of the nervous system. Instead of being morely mixed together, however, these two substances are combined chemically. This alters their nature and makes the compound more early assimilated by the body, thereby giving the necessary nourishment to nerve and ransele and improving the quality of the blood. For these reasons Sanatogon has become the sheet-anchor of the physician is treating.
