FINDING.
The We find that the British Steam-ship Hai-loong, Official No. 65,082, was stranded on the South point of the Island of Quemoy, near the port of Amoy, on the 2nd April last, at about 3.15 A.M. vessel was subsequently floated off and towed to Amoy.
We find that the Hai-loong was stranded through want of proper care and precaution on the part of the Master. The use of the lead was neglected, and the Master most improperly left the deck at 2.30 A.M., when it was clearly his duty to have remained there.
We therefore adjudge that the certificate of competency, No. 34,465, of WILLIAM YOUNG HUNTER be suspended for six months from this date.
We recommend that a First Mate's certificate of competency be issued to WILLIAM YOUNG HUNTER during the period of suspension.
Dated at Hongkong, this 23rd day of May, 1881.
