The following finding of the Marine Court of Enquiry into the misconduct of the Chief Mate of the British ship Torrisdale is published.
By Command,
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 29th November, 1895.
FINDING.
J. H. STEWART LOCKHART,
Colonial Secretary.
We find that DAVID GORDON, whose Certificate of Competency as a Master Mariner is 04,558, dated 22nd April, 1881, at Dundee, is Chief Mate of the British ship Torrisdale, Official No. 99,828 of Glasgow.
That a charge of being drunk and incapable of performing his duties from 3.30 P.M. on the 20th June last to Noon on the 22nd June last has been brought against the said DAVID GORDON, and the Court finds the said DAVID GORDON has been guilty of misconduct and drunkenness and has been incapacitated from his duty from the effects of drink during the period aforementioned, and the Court therefore orders that his Certificate be suspended for a period of three months from this date, (recom- mending that should he apply for it a Certificate as Second Mate be granted to him during the period of such suspension).
The Court further censures HENRY GUNDY and JOHN ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL holding that their evidence was unreliable and insincere.
Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 27th day of November, 1895.
