TRIAL OF A SHIPOWNER IN CARDIFF.

SHIPPING
A YEAR'S IMPRISONMENT.
Not for many years has so much Intereat been focused on any pro- secution to do with shipping as in regard to the trial, concluded in November last, of Mr. Watkin James Williams, the Cardiff ship owner, who was charged with be ing a party to sending the 8.8. "Eastway" and "Tideway" to sea The an unseaworthy state. main indictments were that in Oc- tober, 1926, he was a party to send ing the "Eastway" to sea in auch condition that the lives of persons on board were likely to be endan- gered thereby; that in July, 1926, he was similarly a party to send- ing the "Tideway" to sea in a like condition; and that again in April, 1927, he was guilty of a further offence still in connection with the "Tideway." The "Eastway" was tost in a hurricane off Bermuda in October, 1926, the master and 28 of the crew being drowned then she foundered; and it was on the loss of this vessel that the main Her basis of the charges rested. fatal voyage in October, 1926, was from Virginia, U.S.A. to Pernam. buco with a cargo of coal for a Brazilian railway company. She arrived at Norfolk, Virginia, with 80 tons of bunkers on board. The charter provided that she should carry not less that 7,500 tons and not more than 8,000 tons. The master was ordered by Williams to take this cargo and the necessary bunkers to carry the ship to Per nambuco, then to the River Plate, and across the Atlantic to Las Palmas, Accordingly, when she got to Norfolk, she proceeded to carry out thesa instructions. She, in fact, took 7,705 tons of cargo and 1,718 tons of bunker coal-a total of 9,502 tons. The voyage was a winter one, and allowing the maximum allowance for the brackish water at Norfolk, she sail- ed with a draft of 29 feet and one! inch, as against an allowed maxi- mam of 27 feet 11 inches. Every inch meant 40 tona;
every inch meant increased risk to the lives of those en board; every inch meant more profit to the shipown- cr... She salled 18 inches overladen: she sailed with 382 tons more than her deadweight winter capacity ac- cording to the shipbuilders' plans. She was not very far out when she met bad weather. Somewhere in the neighbourhood, but not actually į in the path she crossed, there was a hurricane blowing, and although she was some distance away the result was heavy gale weather and violent seas. The result was that she gradually took a list, the tar-. paulins washed away, and water poured in through the hatches. The Captain made a gallant at- tempt to retrieve the situation, but
was washed overboard and drown-
ed. Signals of distress were sent out, and on the evening of October 28 she foundered, 28 of her crew of 95 being drowned. Twelve man- aged to get into the lifeboats and

as the law stands in the matter to-day, an unscrupulous shipowner might consider the prospect of being mulcted in a fine as an ordinary hazard in the way of business. Fortunately, in regard to British shipping, dis- regard of safety regulations is comparatively rare; but if and when such disregard is discover- ed the delinquent should he made to realise that wittingly to en: danger the lives of officera and men in order to make a little more money is very bad busi- ness; even though, in the case of some small shipowners on the China Coast, auch disregard has proved very good business in the past.
