The two actions in which the Perla is concerned have been stayed till after the result of those between the Zar cheong and Skramstad is known; and the three actions between the two latter vessels have been consolidated, and their result depends upon the decision as to which vessel was to blame.

Having carefully considered the evidence of the twit nesses and the diagrams made by the respec- tive masters in Illustration of their evidence, have come to the conclusion that I cannot accept the version given on behalf of the Tui cheong. It is unfortunate that the helmsman of the Tar-chrong was not called. He was a Malay and it seems he left the ship the trip. before the case was heard. It is possible, of course, he may have made some blunder, but we have no satisfactory evidence as to whether he carried out his orders correctly or not. The evidence of the master of the Frithrong does not seem at all satisfactory, and his account of what happened, supported by his diagrams, JUDGMENT FOR THE "TAI-CHEONG does not in my opinion give a holding that vessel to be alone to blame, and REASONABLE, PROBABLE, OR EVEN POSSIBLE the present appeal is from that judgment.: 'It

When through, he steered for a light at the Admiralty Dock. He saw the lights of the Tar-cheong about a mile and three quarters off, a top light and a green light. He also saw another top light and a green light behind the Tai-cheong (no doubt those of the Feria). Two or three minutes afterwards saw the red lights. He says: The Tai- cheong then showed her ted light, she came oʻ tile on my starbroad bow, about half a point, and showed her red light. I then ported my beim so as to get the Kowloon, light on my port bow. When I first saw the light the Tat-cheong was about mile cf. When A ported I showed my red. I kept red to red well clear. We should have passed a length clear of the Perla." If he would have passed u length clear of the Perla he would have, passed the Tai cheong at a greater distance.
