In answer to his Worship, wit ness stated that at the time thers was a strong N.E. wind blowing and it carried the smoke from the Man Sang right across the bows of the 8.3.

the Mon Sang.

Question of Direction,
Mr. Lozeby: You say that the smoke was blown across the bows of the Kwong Tung?-Yes, it was blown across the bows of the ship on to the Praya.
I put it to you that the wind was S.E. and not N.E. as you say?
It was N.E.
I also put it to you that the smoke would have been taken away from the Praya instead of towards it? It was blowing towards- it,
