plates and frames.
After taking account of all the circumstances, the Court found as follows:
That the accident was due to an error in judgment of speed on the part of the Second Officer, Mr. Thatcher, inasmuch as he estim ated the speed of the ship at 12 knots over the ground, whereas in fact it was nearer 14 knots.
That on losing sight of the land on the starboard, hand the Second Officer, Mr. Thatcher, failed to. notify the Master as he should have dones MALA
That In view of the Second Om- cer's Mr. Thatcher's short experi- ence of these waters, he should have verified his estimate of speed by asking the master, Captain Mille.
That in view of the shortex- a.perience of the Second Officer, Mr.
Thatcher, in these watera, and the difficulty of establishing the posi tion by bearing of lights- alone, it would have been wiser for the Master, Captain Mills, to have given a definite time to be called,
