Speaking about bowling, it really would be very difficult to excel that of Reos (Straits), au Australian whe, we ander-

stand, has on occasions distinguished himself while playing for South Australin. Judging by the day's play on the whole Hongkong has a better all round team than the Straits, The latter appears to be made up of a few really excellent players, with a larger tail end of some what indifferent players than Hongkong. For fielding, however, honours must be certainly given to the Straits, as they let very little indeed gothrough their fingers. The day's play resulted:-

Straits 1st iun. 128; 2nd for 4 wkts 31...159 ...155 Hongkong-Lat innings.

By the Court: I blew the lamp out on the bridge, The witness her described his actions when putting out the light, the left-hand side of the witness hox representing the port side of the ship.

His Lordship: If the witness were leaning over and pulled the lamp up in his right hand it is just possible that the red light would show astern for the moment as it came over the rail.

Mr. Sharp admitted this, but said it wonld not be there long enough for another ship to be guided thereby.

Three other Chinese witnesses gave evidence with regard to the taking in and blowing out of other lights on the ship.

The second officer of the Brunhiidu stil: 1 hold a Master's certificate since 1885 On the night of the collision we were anchored at the southern fairway buoy. I witnessed the collision and was on duck about three minutes Sho prior to it.

I then saw the Wongkoi had her anchor lights on. The Wongkot and our ship were something like 200 yards apart. The Wongkoi was lying so that I saw her starboard quarter. I saw the Ujino coming along and ex- pected a collision between the Ujena and Wong- hot. The Tina at the time I saw her was going about six knots an hour. 1 did not see red light on the Wongkot.
