No. 83.--The following Finding of the Marine Court of Inquiry to investigate the

charges against Mr. WARREN SMITH, Chief Engineer of the S.S. Wollowra, is published for general information.

FINDING.

We find that the charges made against you, WARREN SMITH, Chief Engineer of S.S. Wollowra, Official No. 104811 of Hongkong, by the Master Mr. B. W. PRITCHARD proved, and we consider that your conduct has been detrimental to all good order and discipline, and that the Court would point out that there is only one Master on board a ship and that you as Chief Engineer are head of a Sub-Department and as such it is clearly your duty to promptly obey any lawful orders given by the Master, that on two occasions during the voyage you did wilfully disobey the lawful commands of the Master, Mr. B. W. PRIT- CHARD, and did treat him with gross disrespect. We therefore order your Chief Engi- 'neer's Certificate No. 2046 of Victoria to be suspended for a period of 6 months and that during such time a 2nd Engineer's Certificate will be granted you, but that before your Certificate is returned at the expiration of 6 months a reference from the Master or Masters under whom you have served must be produced to this Office showing that you have obeyed their lawful commands to their entire satisfaction.

Given under our hands at Victoria, in the Colony of Hongkong, this 11th day of February, 1916.

(Signed)
