On the 13th, heavy ice floes cams round the ship. On the 19th, the Captain decided, after censalting with the Chief Engineer, ta jet- tison the cargo and this, was commencet On the 24th the Kampschaduw returned, with the Chief Officer and the crew of the lifeboat on board. The Russian captain said that be had instructions from Rear-Almiral Jessen to take the offers and men of the Diem- barton to Vladivostok it they decided to abandon the russel.

Phat the grounding and subsequent abandon. ment of the vessel were directly due to thy regligence of the Matter in not taking woundings on the morning of the 26th of October, and that in view of the said non-exhibition of the light aforesaid on Kloster Camp the nation of of the Mastor doas not amount to culpable
