THE EMPRESS OF INDIA'S " COLLISION CASE.
We take this case up from the paintat which wo left it in our issue of Wednesday.
Mr. While Cooper, contigning his statement on the 6th.said that at 9,30 p.m. the cruiser's course was 8. W. by W. 7 W.; the equivalent to this was 8. 66 W: true. At that time the course of the Empress was 8. 64. W. At 11 p.m. the areiser'e course was S. 63 W., showing that she had edged out a little from the coast, The course of the Empress at 11.30 p.m. was 8. 68 W., which showed that she had edged in a little. The explanation for these slight variations was that the cruiser was passing outside while the Empress was passing inside Pedro Blanco Island."
|
This was important as the defendante sinted that the courses of the two vessels were divergent; white be, essel, would adduce evidence to prove that they were convergent. As far sa he could ascertain the Empress course was insile the the Pedro Blau Island when those ou Express would, he believed, say that when they rat si iba oruiser's stern light it was right ahead, but as they got nearer it appeared on the starboard, so that it would appear that the cruiser was in the "inside and the
Empress on the outside coures. After watching the oruiser's stern Hight for a couple of hours those on the Empress had plenty of times to make up their minds what to do. They should have borne in mind the Regulations for Preventing Accidents at Ses. (Counsel here read out article 24 of the Regulations, which provided that a vessel overtaking another should keep out of her course. Artiola 22 provided that vessel which was directed by these rates to keep out of the way of another vessel, should, if circumstance permitted, avoid crossing ahea of the other.)

The captain of the cruiser show d no saziety. He knew it was the other vessel's duty to keep out of the way. He did not hear the captain give any orders to alter the course.
