The first question which I have therefore to decide is whether the Michael Jebsen when at 7.50 p.m. she stopped her engines giving a warning blast to the Chian Lee committed & breach of her duty under Article 21.

There remains for consideration the bearing which the gate to Article 21 has on the facts of this The duty of the Michael Jebsen is clear. So long as there is a possibility of the Chian Lee clearing her she must stand on, and she cannot be held in fault for keeping her course and speed though she could have avoided collision by an alteration of either.

I am satisfied that the Captain. and officers of the Michael Jebsen kept a careful watch on the Chian Lee and endeavoured, at what they considered the right moment, to do what they thought best to avoid a collision.

י,

Lord Corell, P., in The Ranza (79 L.J.P. 21) defined the duty of

the stand-on ship as being that she must wait until the other ship cannot avoid the collision and then she must act. I can and nothing in the action taken by the Michael Jebsen in the agony of collision that convinces me that she was in any way responsible for the collision.

I find that the Chlan Lee was solely to blame for this collision, and in each of these consolidated actions I enter Judgment accord- ingly with costs against the owners of the Chian Lee,
