Witness Demonstrates Handling Of Tug
With Model In Court
A demonstration with models on a scale plan of the way in which he would have taken a tug into one of the bays at the Kowloon Wharves to tow away a lighter was given by Capt. James Wood, marine surveyor, in his third day in the witness box before Mr Justice J. R. Gregg at the Supreme Court this morning when hearing continued of the claim for damages brought by the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co., Ltd, against Wang Kee and Co, stevedores and merchants.

Capt. Wood had been asked by Defence Counsel why he said it was not easier to pick up a lighter in the lee of a steamship than in an exposed position. He was being cross-examined on incidents arising from a typhoon" in Hongkong on the early morning of September 2, 1953.
