"Too Informal,”

Mr. Hugh-Jones' main conten- | tion was that the tow could not possibly be turned through eight| points of the compass in a minuto, Į

The.President:-Why does the course from Canton take you to. wards the north shore?
Witness:-It is. the usual practice of pilota.
The President:-You can sug- gest no reason?
Witness:-No: except that it may be to counteract the set of the current to the northward.»
Witness was remonstrated with by the President for using the terms "fairly certain" and ́ “not quito auro" to qucations relative to the bearing of Ma Wan red light. "You were approaching a dangerous Pass and should be certain where the light would appear, In this court you must be particularly careful in your evidence," added Comdr...Newill.
