· EMPRESS: OF INDIA" — KWANG
'-TAI" COLLISION.
---JUDGMENT.
(Continued from yesterday.)
He says:
"I was on duty from 8.0 p.m. till time of collision on the night of 17th August, I had just visited the rounds and returned to the bridge as the Commander went out. I saw a (here follow the words, "jinks on the," but these words bave the pen drawn through them, and the narrative, continues) sleamers on the
starboard bow about three points and noticed
she was altering her couse to starboard. 1 heard the order hard-a-starboard and then the port engine reversed full speed. I heard the Commander hail the vessel to put her helm to port, and I yelled out too,"
.
In none of the other three statements is there any reference to the junk, The lockout on the forecastle head was not called as a witness, but his abrence is accounted for by an entry in the official leg saying that he had deserted at Vancouver. In his statement he says:
"I was on the look-out last night on the forecastle bead of the Empress of India from 10.0 p.m. till the time of collision. During that time I reported several lights and vessels" I noticed that we were overhauling a steamer on the starboard bow and considered that there was plenty of room. I noticed the steamer alter her courre to port and soon strike out ship. I did not see any sign of her altering her course to starboard,"
There is here not a word about the junk in connection with the cruiser altering her course to starboard and I arrive at the conclusion that he saw no link. Neither of the quartermasters in their statements make any reference to the junk. The quartermasters at the wheel in his evidence says he could not see a junk, but, this is fairly accounted for by his being inside the wheelhouse with his eyes on the compass and not in favourable circumstances to observe, an object at sea on a dark night. The quarter. master in attendance was called, and he spoke to seeing the junk, but in his original statement he makes no mention of it, and the only direct
reference we have to the junk in the personal statements contained in the log book are in the statements of the lookout in the crow's nest and of the officer of the watch.
In the statement of the look-out no bearing is given. In the statement of the officer of the watch the bearing of the jurk is given as about two points on the starboard bow of the mail steamer while at the same time the stern light of the cruiser was about three points on the starboard bow,
If we look at the plan put in by the mait steamer we find the junk put down as bearing barely a point on the mail steamer's starboard bow when on the course assigned to her before the order to starboard halla point was given, and no wider bearing could be well given consistently with the theory,which the plan was intended to support. At the hearing evidence was given by some of the witness on the part of the mail steamer that the bearing was about a point or between one point and two points on the mail 'steamer's starboard bow, The As- sessors having heard all the evidence came to the opinion that there was no junk. They have no doubt, and I have no doubt, that the look- out reported a vessel on the starboard bow without lighte, and that the officer of the watch when he looked saw what he took to be a vessel without lights. But the Assessors are of opin- Jon that what they saw was not a junk but was was the loom of the fore part of the cruiser with the topmast housed. l'concur in and adopt this opinion. The bearing given by the officer of the watch is his original statement in the official log-and I accept that statement in preference to evidence given later when the effect of the evidence had been more fully

This was successfully accomplished
The widening out to one paint. I em advised is quite explained by the overtaking and over-in taken vessels being on parallel or almost parallel courses, and indicated no divergence in the course of the overtaken vessel.
Then there is the widening of from one pairt to three points between 11.38 when the course of the mail steamer was altered to S. 69 W. true hauling her in four degrees nearer to the knurse of the cruiser.
There is no evidence of the slightest value that this widening of the bearing was con- tinuous. The commander appears to have thought that it was widening when he went to his cabin after giving the course, but the widening if continuous was such as could only be determined in the short time the Com- mander was on deck by compass observation, and be frankly said he took no compass observation.

~WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION and in this effective remedy, made palatable as honey, we have the very heart and soul of Pure Cod Liver Oil, combined with the Comp. Syrup of Hypophosphites and the Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry. These constitute a tissue-builder, a blood purifier, a health renewer beyond comparison. Disease yields to it with a completeness and rapidity which satonishes medical men quite as much as it delights their patients. In all wasting con- ditions, Scrofula and Blood Disorders, La Grippe, Chronic Bronchitis, Pulmonary Affections, etc, it never fails to relive and cure. Dr. Louis W. Bishop says: "I take pleasure in saying 1 have found it a most efficient preparation, embodying all of the medicinal properties of a pure cod liver oil in The third officer was below from 11.20 and a most palatable form."

When he came out on the bridge again <he was bearing from 2 to 3 points as far as he could remember. Then the quartermaster in attendance did not observe the light from the time it was right ahead until it was 2 points or at points on the starboard bow, and he could not give the time when he saw that. The look. cut on the crow's nest gives no bearing from the time the cruiser was right shend until she was three points on the starboard bow. Then, there is the officer of the watch He said that he did take compa1à beirings, but he appeared to be not quite certain on this point and he could give no particulars, and I am satisfied that no widening of the bearing was observed" and that there was no material widening of the bearing until the time the order starboard half | a point was given or just before, and that the cause of the widening at that time was that the mail steamer was overhauling the cruiser on a course that was converging with that of the cruiser, that they were approaching the paint of convergence and were as I have alreadyARTMANN'S RAHTJEN'S GENUINE

grounds I have arrived at as the relative posi- tions of the vessels. I am quite satisfied on the evidence that the mail steamer had got much closer to the cruiser than was realised by those on board the mail steamer, and that it would have been impossible for the cruiser with her stern light at that time bearing three points on the mail steamer's starboard bow to have got

The evidence given months afterwards of those who made no reference to the junk in their statements taken down on the following day does not appear to me to be of much value. Without imputing to any of them an intention of saying what they believe not to be true the effect of their since having sailed together and having discussed as one the witnesses said they did discuss, and as they naturally might be expected to discuss, ibe incidents of the collision, the impression of each as to what he himself saw cannot be as accurate as it was on the day after the collision.
Having heard the detailed evidence of the look-out on the crow's nest as to what he could not see, I am satisfied that the night was one in which things other thin lights could not well be seen at a distance. The later part of the night was bright, but the moan'did not rise until after the collision. At the time the vessel was reported the night was much that the look. out could very well make the mistake which in the opinion of the Assesson and of myself he did make, and the same consideration, the darkness of the night, adds to my doubt of the Recuracy of the present impressions of some of the witnesses as to what they saw on that night. There was another argument used on behalf of the mail steamer in favour of the theory that the cruiser had starboarded, namely, that the Bern light of the cruiser bad opened out rapidly on the mail steamer's starboard bow showing that her course was divergent from that of the mail ateamer up till the time the order star- board half a point was givin, and that she had therefore get into such a position that the collision could only have happened through the cruiser starboarding.
