The following Finding of the Marine Court of Enquiry into the stranding of the British Steam- ship Kong Nam, is published.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 28th April, 1905.
FINDING.
F. H. MAY, Colonial Secretary.
We find that the British Steamship Kong Nam, No. 107028 of Hongkong of which H. C. D. FRAMPTON is Master, the number of whose Certificate is No. 01961, left Hongkong on the 5th April on a voyage up the West River.
The Kong Nam is a Steamer of 402 net register tons and had a mixed cargo on board. That about 8.6 p.m. on the night of the 5th instant, the vessel took the ground on Cap Sing Island and remained there until the forenoon of the 11th, when she was towed to Hongkong and placed on a slipway and found to have been strained and to have a hole in her bottom.
It appears from the evidence that the safety of the ship was in the first instance jeopardised by the Pilot's altering course without any apparent reason during the Master's temporary absence from deck, also that the judgment of the Master was faulty in not having reduced the speed, after finding that the course had been so altered and also in being mistaken in his identity of the land he was approaching.
The Court is of opinion that it is not necessary to deal with the Master's certificate.
Given under our hands at Victoria, Hongkong, this 27th, day of April, 1905.

President of the Court. JUDGE D'ARCY, Commander, R.N. P. H. ROLFE, Master s.s. Yuensang. J. J. Lossius, Master s.s. Kinshan. J. G. SPENCE, Master s.s. Lightning.
