When he saw that he ported his helm. Ho' gave the order to the helm and the order was carried out. almost simultaneously-and he would submit. He could see that by the alteration in the that they were the proper orders to give either | Kowloon light. When the Tai Cheong first to avoid or minimise the results of a collision showed her red light she was, he thought, which seemed to be imminent. The Tui Cheong struck the Skramsted on her port bow somewhere about the break of the forecastle at an angle of something like 25 or 30 degrees probably greater. The engines of tho Skrams tad continu. d full speed astern until she was finally beached near the Hongkong shore and her propeller went out of water, and then her engines were stopped. . For about 15. minutes; the Court had heard, the two vessels were fast together; the Tai Chrong had her stem well into the hull of the Skraniand. As the Tai Cheony stated and as be thought the Court would find the fact to be, the two vessels when so together gradually got nearer the Hongkong shore and the Tai Cheng got clear of the Skramstad. She had at the time some stern way upon her and go appreciably nearer the longkong shote after getting clear of the other ship. His Lordship would remember that the place of the collision was stated by the Skramstud to be at a place something about half a mile from Braemar Point, a little to the north of mid-channel--that was to say, the channel from Lyeemun Pass to

Hongkong Harbour. The Tai Cheong. bad placed the place of collision very considerably nearer the Hongkong shore than that-a dis tance of about 300 yards. His Lordship would have to decide which story was to be believed, and would, it seemed to hint, be guided in a great measure in coming to that conclusion by the indications of the collision upon the bull of the Shrimstad. The collision was upon the port side, and the witnesses for the Tai Choeng had utterly failed to reconcile their evidence with that afforded by the damage done to the Skramstad. They stated that for at least three minutes they were under a hard-aport helm and the engines going full speed astern, and a right-handed propeller, and under these circumstances, they said, they came into collision with the port side of the Skramstad, His Lordship would have noticed the excruciati ing efforts of the captain and the chief officer of the Tai Cheong to reconcile these conditions It seemed to him that they had failed utterly

to reconcile the two statements that they were, under a bard-sport helm and that they were then able to go into collision with the Skramstad in the way that the collision actually did occur. It seemed to him that the indications showed that at the time of the collision the Tof Cheong must have been under a starboard helm. He would allude to one or two circumstances which strongly supported that view. There was one of the utmost importance the angle of cal.

If the two vessels, had kept upon those courses they would have passed well clear of each other. After that the Tai Chrong showed her green light and then her red. When he saw the green light open he ordered the helm hard aport and blew a short blast on the whistle and put the engines full speed astern. He himself movert the indicator, sounding two knocks, which ment "Give her alt you can.” He blew the whistle himself. These three things were all done as quickly as possible The order ✨ hard aport" was carried out; the order "full speed astern" was also carried out. When he saw the Tai Cheong aller her course. and show her green light he was afraid of a collision. When the Tai Chiong opened her green she was, he thought, about four or five ship's lengths off. That was somewhere about 245 feet long. The Tai Cheong came into

The Tai Cheong appeared to him to be pulling them. During the time they were together the ships got nearer the shore. After the Tai Cheong got clear his engines still went full speed astern,, which had the effect of taking the Skramstad nearer the shore.
