The question seems to be, fret, whether wo believe the jaoksarried lights, lights that the Thibetonght to have seen, and supposing wo are satisfied aho did not, in the Thibet in any way to blame for not having noch the junk in time to aroid the collision, or for going at the rate of speed she was on a dark night, As to whether the maritime law applies to Chinese junks, that is rather a big question. Certainly the regulationsfor proventing collisions
