GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.--No. 76.

The following Finding of the Marine Court into the loss of the British steamer Namchow, Official No. 63,588, is published.

By Command,

W. M. GOODMAN, Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 13th February, 1892.

FINDING.

We find that the Namchoir was a British vessel of 1,109 tons registered tonnage, Official No. 63,588 belonging to the port of Penang.

It appears from the evidence before this Court that she cleared from Hongkong on the 6th instant bound for Amoy with a general cargo and a crew of 68 hands all told as well as not more than 491 passengers.

From the affidavits before the Court it appears that on the night of the 7th instant in the vicinity of Breaker Point the engines stopped and apparently the hull of the vessel was injured water entering and ultimately in spite of attempted repairs the vessel foundered about 8 A.M. on the morning of the Sth instant.

All the Europeans on board and between three and four hundred of the passengers and crew were lost. The survivors were saved in fishing boats part reaching the fishing junk in one of the ship's boats and part being rescued from the water. The ship's boats with the one exception that reached the fishing junk appear to have been lowered and swamped alongside when the vessel sank.

Given under our hands this 28th day of January, 1892, at Victoria, Hongkong.
