Victoria official boy and ship's papers were saved. lle concluded that a leak was the cause of the water getting in the ship.
Samuel Farrel, chief engineer of the Bupel gave corroborative evidence.
The Court after half an hour's consultation gave their finding as follows
"After carefully considering the evidence the court finds no little difficulty in forming an opinion as to the cause of the casualty, but it appears fairle haslusive,
That the ship sprang a leak in No. 3 hold and the probablity seems that in an unusual -roll the water settled on the port side of the fat tank top on which the cargo was stored; that when the ship became upright through the jettisoning of cargo she only remained in that state till another unusual roll settled the water over to starboard, and that by this time the stowage had been so disturbed by the dis- solving of the sugar that the whole cargo grad ually fell over to the starboard side till it cap- sized the ship.
The Court does not find that any blame attaches to the master for the loss of the ship: and they are impressed with his conduct in electing to remain by her to the last and by the conduct of his passenger, who remained with bim. Such, conduct in the court's opinion stands out in relief against that of the officers and crew, who appeared only too ready to get away, notwithstanding the fact that their Captain remained, but seeing it was not against the wishes of the Captain that they pursued this course the court refrains from making more than a passing reference to their conduct. The inaster's certificate is returned to him."

There were four sampans entered for this race and it proved very amusing. The boats were beautified with plentiful application of black lead in honour of the race, but the principal amusement arose from the different methods applied by their respective coxswains to urge their crews to exertion, some taking the over hand method of inciting their crews, some. keeping perfectly impassible, whilst one, the winner, having an old hat in his hand gave the. time by a vigorous underhand flourish which proved mighly effective, the boat winning by almost tivo lengths in mins. 15) seconds.

After some time had been lost in getting the boats into position again, a very good start was made, the Rose, catching the water first and making a very good lead with the Leek not very far behind The Shamrock, however, pulling a long steady stroke managed to catch up and pass, hut was again placed in the second place, by a strong spart by the crew of the Rose who finally suc ceeded in winning by nearly three length The Thistle whose crew were oridently fatigued by their exertions in the International, fell out of the race after they had run over..something more than half the course.
