TO THE EDITOR OF THE "DAILY PRESS."

It was dominon ground to both parties that [We do not hold ourselves responsible for this was a navigating channel. The Acting Harbour Master mid that vessels navigated through that channel of their own risk There was not a true fairway, but he made it quite plain that a vessel was not wrong in going through that channel. The question then arose as to the dying of the pensat. Un donlitedly the Hangthow was flying the blue pennant. She alleged that she was going up that chaunel, treating it as part of the Northern fairway. The Glengyis had come down that channel, and as soon as she entered it she bauled down the bine peanut aid few no ponent of all. According to the Harbour Ofice she was

right in doing so, but according to Captain Pearse, of the Hangchow, she was wrong so doing, but his Lordship did not think on the whole that that foot really brought about this collision, or contributed to bring it about Captain Pearse, in bis examination-in-chief said-The house flag on the Glengyle was Blying at the main. She had no flag at the fore. I did not specially jast then look for anything at the force. Had there been anything I should have seen it. I did not look out at the time to see whether her screw was moring." In other works, bis Lordship thought Captain Pearse made it look plain that he did not at the time attsch much importance to that point. The non-fiying of the blue pennant was not a fault as the matter went, and the Glengyle could not be held to blame on that account. It was alleged tang bust, one when the langchov hrat came on the part of the Glengyle that she blew two in sight, and the other about two minutes before the collision took place, and between given these two blats thora was a short blast by the Hongchae The Hangehow people said that they did not hear the first of these blasts, aud in regard to the send blast they said it sos not a long blast, but was a short blast. The mening of that short blast wind be according to the regulations that the Glengylo was going to starboard. die Lordship necepted the statement of the Guggler and the evidence on the point clearly show that she would not have gone to starboard His Lordship then proceeded to deal with the sllegations made by each ship in their preliminary sets, and slo the arguments of counsel. First of all with ragard to the question of the look-out, he was advised by his Assessors that an efficient. look out was not kept on board the Hangelion, and, if snch a look-ut had been kept, it would harS been seen at the Giengyle was under way. There were two or three points admitted by witnesses for the Hongchow, which nout to show that a proper and officient ok-out was not kept on board the Hungehou The first and most important was the mistake that was made as to the position of the Glengale, The master of the Hangehow said that he took the Glenggle to be at the South P. and O. buoy and the Based to be at the North F. and 0. buoy. This was not so, for, se a matter of fart, the Banca was at the Sonth P. and O. buoy and the Glengyle was coming by the Messageries buoy, This was a palpable mistake and probably caused the collision, because he was steering in the channel which he really did not mean to steer in. Then again, if Mr. Bridge could see the Glongyle going past the Empresa off the Kerangler, the Ilangchowe could see her coming past the Empress towards her. This further want to show that a careful look-oat was not kept by the Hangehou. His Indship was also advised by his assessors that, if the Gengyle had been moored with that fide ronning, a very moderate outlook would have shown that the anchors were faut. He was also advised that the Hanychow did not keep out of the way of the Glengyle as she was required to do by Article 1 of the Regala. tions for Proventing Collisions at Bes. She and the Glengyle on her starboard bow, and it was her daty in these circumstances to keep out of the way. She did not do so, and must be held in blue on that account. Under Article 20 she must not attempt to cross the
