Barton, Gov ernment Surveyor of British Ships; John P. Roberts, Master of Board of Appolat- ment; J. H. Wills, Licensed Pilot and Member of Board of Appointment. The log of Captain Marshall was produced and he and the 3rd officer, Mr F. Harvey, were examined. The following was the finding of the Court -

The Court, after reviewing and duly taking into consideration the evidence brought forward, finds that the grounding of the Loudoun Castle is due entirely to the action of Pilot Jürgensen.

"Io bis own evidence he admits that he kept the ligh whip on a 8. E. E. true. bearing a long as he ca'd see her--10 milea-and kept on the same course after- wards. This places her exactly where she grounded, viz, in the false channel to the north of the Kiutoan lightship. Moreover, after the steamar had ones touched the ground and backed off into five fathoms, and he was advised by the Captain to anchor if he was not sure of his position, he kept on, although he admits there was a dense fog,

Mr Jürgensen is, in consequence, ad. judged (cognizance being taken by the Court of the circumstance that during his long services as a pilot he has not been punished before), to be suspended for two months from this date from carrying on the duties of a pilot.
