·hammered it, &c.. I think the reduction of the thickness of the plates in the fore peak from 4-16ths to 3-16ths makes her unsafe to use as a river steamer, According to "Veritas," the cement should be taken up for re-surveying. I see from the rates of the Board of Trade that it should be. If a ship had been ashore and cracked her cement I should have the broken cement aut away and patch put on. That can be done, Cement is put on to preserve the iron plates and rivet-heads. I am not aware that since the Pasig was in Dock she has carried cargo.

Capt. E. hernie, in cross-examination by Mr. Robinson, said :---I saw the Pasig several times whilst she was at Wanchai. I examined the boiler space on one occasion, and saw them culling out the cement from the sides of the floors, but nowhere else. I saw them putting new cement over the old in the boiler-space. That was not properly done. It was about three inches thick, old and new. The addition of two uprights to the bulkhead would strengthen it, but filling the fore-peak would hardly relieve the strain, as she would have to bear the extra weight. I ordered the fore-peak to be filled, and a pump fixed there. I see that the contract for repairs in 1886 amounted to $14,000-that was after The Earl of Rosebery and Sir John Lubbock she had been stranded.

I am of opinion that the ship is unseaworthy from two points of view as a seaman and a surveyor to insurance companies. I saw the ship in June 1883, when under repair here and she was then in good condition. She had got in such a state between then and September 1885 that at the latter date her class was omitted, and a black -line put against her in the list. The floors and many plates were worn out, but I do not think they were removed. In 1886 I had most of the cement in the fore and aft holds removed and renewed.

I do not know that the Pasig has been carrying cargo since then, I know she has left the Harbour, but I have only heard she has been running to Canton. I have not studied the Board of Trade rules as to surveying but I used to be a government surveyor. I have never given a certificate to a ship coming under special survey after large repairs without drilling the plates after removing the cement. I know nothing of universal rules, or the usual custom of other surveyors-those are my instructions. Lloyd's rules say the cement must be removed. There are no rules for surveying shioothwater vessels ;. I am guided by commonsense. They are in `n different class. I am not aware that the Board of Trade have special rules for inspecting such vessels,

Mr. Francis further asked to point out that in asking that his clients were not seeking to put the owners of the Pasig to any expense, as they (the petitioner) were bound under heavy bonds to be answerable for all damages and expenses, and whatever cost the owners were put to they would be recompensed if the petitioners were proved to be in the wrong;
The President asked if it was not a little strong to demand the Court to do a certain thing?
Mr. Francis admitted that it was, but submitted that they had a right to demand it, as the responsible parties. Having put the evidence that they had before the Court, showing that no proper investigation could be made unless the ship was cleared, they demanded it, fully under- standing, that they were responsible if their assertions were disproved.
The President -Shouldn't you leave it to the Court to say how the survey should be carried out! If we are of opinion that it cannot be done without gutting the ship-
Mr. Francis The decision must ultimately rest with the Court; I am only saying how we are placed Neither time ner expense will be spared to investigate the matter, but what is decided must rest with you.

The President ultimately announced that the Court would visit the vessel to-morrow morning, and would probably resume its sitting in the afternoon.
