THE NAVIGATING OFFICER.
G. Lieutenant-Commander Dixon, R.N., who was navigating officer of the Courageous at the time of the granding, said that Captain Egerton gave him no in structions to take soundings during the afternoon of September 24, but he took soundings and reported them to the captain. The witness did not use the large-scale chart because it would have been incon- venient and he considered the posi- tion of the ship one of such safety that there was no necessity of going off the general chart. He thought either the Jim Howe buoy or the Smith's Knoll buoy had sunk, but he did not tell Captain Egerton this. The witness had paid careful attention to working out the stream before the ship grounded. Up to that time he had seen no reason why the stream should be different. from what he had allowed for. The Jim Howe buoy was shown on the small chart, but not on the large-scale charts and the witness considered it possible that the buoy would be in position. He told Captain Egerton that the ship was on a dangerous course and advised him to alter course easterly.
Captain Brian Egeton, giving evidence on his own behalf, said he had every reason to suppose that the ship was in the open sea where soundings were of little, value, and he therefore did not order sound ings to be taken. He had no reason to ppose that the rights were other than reasonably correct. He
believed at the time the Jim How

buoy was actually in place. It had only recently transpired in "Notices to Mariners that the buoy was not in place on October 17, The most recently corrected chart, the used in the ship, showed the buoy in place: Shortly, his answer to the charges was that he acted acted throughout under the viction that the ship was in the open ses and when he altered course he supposed he was heading away from any danger.

Captain Godfrey, addressing the Court for the defence, expressed the view that the Navy should not adopt the merchant service practice which made the captain prima facie the navigator of the ship.
