The Harbour officials have especial directions to make themselves well' acquainted with the movements of every vessel from the port, and there is no question that po facility at all will be found in this port for supplies for either of the belligerents. The authorities maintain perfect watchfulness, and contraband dealers (if any be found in the Settlement) will find a tough jab of it if they succeed in eluding the lynx-eyed vigilance of the officials charged with the duty of maintaining Macao's neutrality.

in backing out from alongside a wharf. The, most recent case he took was that of the ss. Bangal, the last outward English mail. When he began to time her, she was on the north side of No, 3 Wharf, with the ebb tide. She had been fastened alongside. He timed her from the time the engines started until she was clear of the wharf 'She took a minute and a half to get clear of the wharf. '*
Cross-examined by Mr. Wilkinson, witness said he did not notice any boats around the Bengal. He only paid attention to eddies in the spot where the danger is. ile had never had different states of tide taken with regard to these eddies. After ex- plaining certain technicalities witness continu- ed, prior to the appointment of European pilots Chinese did the work, and there was no trou- ble. The reason he ascribed for this was that the Chinese began with very small ships, and worked up year by year to the present size.
Witness said that he was on the Board of Examiners for pilots, but he never stated that the correct answer to the questiao as to how to take a steamer to the wharf was to obey the injunctions of the wharfingers.
Captain Lawlor, the defendant, said that on the Sunday morning in question he was pilot on the s.s. Slavonia, and the captain and him. self brought the ship up alongside the ends of the wharves, with her head parallel to the ends. He then said to the captain that as there were two herths vacant, one on the south side of No, I wharf, and one on the south side of No. 2 wharf, they end go to either of those berths, and be thought the ship had better be put in stern fitst on the south side of No. 1 wharf, or bow first alongside No, z wharf. While they were waiting the flag "N" was hoisted on the south end of No.
