I have asked the Elder Bethren to give me their assistance in this ense, and it has been very helpful,; and they advise me that the diff- culties of the barge must have been' noticeable to those on the "Mary"] in sufficient time to have enabled them to have avoided, the barge by alight helm action, and that after the collaton they failed to correct themselves. Further, that if one anchor had been let go, the second anchor might also have been let xo, Both are patent anchors, and there is no reason why both should! not have been dropped. The docu- ments of the "Mary" all seem to support the view; so far as you ean rely upon translation of for eign languages, which is always a matter of question, that nothing was scen of the difficulties of the barge is shown by the fact that she is described in the logbook as tacking on the starboard side, and the other entry is tacking when ahead; that is one of the reasons why I cannot accept the one or one and a half points on the star- board bow.
