THE PEMBROKESHIRE.
Finding of The Court.
The following is the finding of the Naval Court of Inquiry at Shanghai with regard
7
to the stranding of the Pembrokeshire :--- That the master, Ernest James Liddle, was in error in making insufficient allowance for wind and for the tidal streams as shown on Admiralty Chart No. 1602 and that not. having seen the North Saddle Light and being on his own reckoning at 9.18 p.m. miles from the North Saddle Island, he was not justified in altering his course to S 52 deg. E.: (Mag.) at that hour. That the master Ernest James Liddle appears, to have navigated his vessel in a soamanlike and proper manner, and when a casualty was inevitable to have done everything in his power to avert it, and that he is deserving of all credit for the persevering mannner in which be succeeded in bringing the vessel off and safely into dock. That the Log Book has been well kept and that the vessel appears to have been properly supplied with charts. The Court considers that the information re- garding the abnormal set of the current at the mouth of the Yangtsekiang River is not sufficiently promulgated for the guidance of the masters of foreign trade steamers, and the Court suggests that the advice in this regard published in the China Sea Directory, Vol. III, 412 and 413, should be given more prominence. The Cout is of opinion that in view of the fact that the North Saddle Island Light is frequently obscured, by fog banks hang- ing over the island when the surrounding locality is clear, that a continuous fog signal of some description should be sounded from the Light house when enveloped in fog,
