The Harbour Master said he was satisfied that the collision was brought about by the Cheong Chung passing too close to the Guelis. It was a fault which coxswains very often com mitted, and the result was that in passing so close to a ship's stern a boat coming out could. not possibly get out of her way. They seemed to think if they passed close to a ship all they had to do was to blow their whistles, and they would both be all right. He warned them to be more careful in the future.
