1. Shortly before 7 p.m. on the 31st January, 1903, the brig "Anthes", of 234 tons register, of which the plaintiff, George De Garis, was then owner, whilst on a voyage from Cardiff to Granville, in France, laden with coals, and manned with a crew of nine hands, all told, was about fifteen miles S.E. E. from the Lizard Light.
2. The wind at the time was about E.N.E., a moderate breeze, the weather was fine, but slightly hazy, and the tide was about slack water, and of little force. The "Anthes" was sailing under all plain sail, close hauled on the port tack, heading about S.E. and proceeding through the water at the rate of about five knots. Her proper regulation side sailing lights were duly placed and exhibited and burning brightly, and a good look-out was being kept on board of her.
3. At that time those on board the "Anthes" observed the red light of a sailing vessel, which proved to be the "Atlantic", at the distance of about from one mile and a half to two miles from the "Anthes", and bearing about one point on her port bow. "Anthes" was kept close hauled by the wind on the port tack. The "Atlantic" exhibited her green light and shut in her red light, and drew a little on to the starboard bow of the "Anthes", and she was then seen to be approaching and causing immediate danger of collision. The helm of the "Anthes" was thereupon put hard down, but the "Atlantic", although loudly hailed from the "Anthes", ran against and with her stem and starboard bow struck the starboard quarter of the "Anthes" abaft the main rigging, and did her so much damage that the "Anthes" soon afterwards sank, and was with her cargo wholly lost, and four of her hands were drowned.
