(Continued from Yesterday,) Mr. Sharp, continuing, said that the time which clapsed between the order "hard astern" was only a little over a minute, I submit to your Lordship that these manoeuvres were the best possible open to the Empress under the circumstances.

We will take it, that the collision occurred at 48 At 11.38 the Empress had changed her course, and ten minutes before that the stern light of the-Kwangtai~was seen to rapidly broaden out, Immediately on the impact the Empress port engine was put fult speed astein and her starboard engine was slopped, Captain Marshall, in the meantime, doing all he could to keep out of the way. It is admitted on behalf of the Kwangtai that the ported her helm. As to the explana- tion of her movements, it cannot be given with precision but it was clear to those on board the Empress that the Kwangiai only saw the junk when they were close upon it, and thereupon became panic-stricken which may very reasonably have happened. It is also evident that they apparently lost their heads. They must have thought that in any case the Empress should have kept out of the way, and from his evidence Lieutenant Cheng had stated that he thought it was the duty of the overtaking steamer to keep out of the way. He seemed to think that the ship abend could do as she liked, leaving the onus on the one behind to keep out of the way, Then again, they might have miscalculated the Empiess's speed and in this respect they should have overrated rather than moderated it. Throughout the events, it is extremely probable that they totally disregarded the Empiess. It had also been suggested, and not unreasonably, that the Captain of the Kwangtai gave a proper order of porting the vessel, in keeping her clear of the junk, Whatever movement was executed by the Kwangtai was simply on account of the junk, which junk was not seen until she was No beiter explanation than

All she could do was to port, and at the last moment it was believed he did so and thus assisted the Empress in avoidig more serious con- sequences of being run down by the Kwangtai. After the collision, mismanagement on board the Kwang'ai consioued. No really serious effort was made to save the chip. From the evidence of Lieut. Cheng it appeared that he suggested to his Captain that a sail be used, but nothing however was done. The crew ap parently only thought about saving themselves and their belongings and they had almost to be dragged out of the sinking ship. The Em. press's bous lay alongside for aver an hour and a half and there was more than ample time to save every sailor on board, and there were eight boats in readiness. But practically they lay there empty before she went down. The men on board could not be induced to leave their ship, and when the Captain himself was urged to come down, he replied that he pre- ferred, to stay where he was. After hear ing further evidence, the Court would be enlightened on several points. Briefly there was a junk on the port bow of the Kwangtai, and she wrongly swung into the Empress course. The evidence all tended to show that the boa's came together broadside on, and in no other manner. He, therefore, submitted that the Kwangiai was solely to blame for this collision,

He did not mean to imply that the hours noted in the consistent to say that the collision took place engineer's log were incorrect. It is perfectly at 11.48. He quite recognized the fact that these questions were very important and he considered that the evidence of the engineers would be even more important than his on the point at issue.
He de lared that the cruiser altered her course by narly six points, or say 7/6 degrees. He heard jo Wednesday's evidence that the cruiser took thirteen minutes to describe a circle and was of opinion that the Empress moved slowly antu she had a wing on, She would take about three minutes to do those seven points, perhaps a little less. e suggested that the collision would have occurred even if he had reversed his engines when he first saw this puzzling mancouvre of the cruiser.
