It appears from the evidence given before this Court that she sailed from Chinwangtao on or about August 20th, 1923, bound for Shanghai with a cargo of about 2,500 tons of slack coal and a crew of 41 hands all told. When leaving the port of Chinwangino her draught forward was 19ft, 6in, and her draught aft 19ft. 11in, giving a mean draft of igft. 84in. All went well until August 23rd. when the wind from the north-east steadily increased until it was blowing hurricance force and a tremendous easterly typhoon swell- arose.

CAUSE OF FOUNDERING. 11 The Court, having regard to the 12 circumstances above stated, finds 161as: follows:--
Colonel Alwyn Owsley, Com- mander of the American Legion, who is now in London, was the guest of the British Government at a hmchron given at the Carlton Hotel. Colonel Owsley is on his way to attend the International Ex- Service, Men's Congress to be held in Brussels. General Sir Charles Monro presided, supported by Mr. Post Wheeler, the American Charge d'Affaires, Brigadier- General, A. F. Horne, Mr. T. F. Lister, Mr. R. A. C. Sperling, of the Office of Works, Colonel H. H. Polk, Sir John Heary, Major Cohen, M.P., and Colonel E. C. Heath.

They could only regret that he should have been unable to see the seetis of good-will and friendship which had been sown developing. congratulated Colonel Owsley upon the great work he had acconi- plished on behalf of the ex-soldier. Colone! Owsley, in reply, opened his speech by addressing the con- pany as "My distant relatives and contrades." It was not the first time, he went on, that it had been .his good fortune to be in London. "When I was here before, she of the boys went for a walk in a fog," said the colonel, "and being afraid to go any further called calt, *Where am I going?' and he heard the reply. You are going into the Thames, you fool. I have just come out." America, he continued, was glad that she took her place by the side of Great Britain in the great struggle. Knowing the heart of the young manhood of America he thought he could say that if the issue were the same to-day as it was in 1914-17 Great Britain could expect America by her side again, Nearly 1,000,000 American men had dedicated themselves to the per.. petuation and the keeping alive of the institutions and the ideals for which they fought and for which their comrades died. The Ameri- can Legion was in more than 12,000 cities and communities throughout the United States.
