Foochow.
Witness-The ram of the Quangtai projects 13 feet from the bow. The Quangtai takes about six minutes to swing pand in a com plete circle when going at full speed. The diameter of the circle would be about 700 yards, and the circumference more than 2,000 yards. That would be with the fielm hard over. The figures are those which have been told to me; I have only been two months on board and have not tried by imyself,
His Lordship asked if any witness would be called to state that turning trials had been made on the ship.
Mr. White-Cooper feared not since the Captain was drowned.
His Lordship remarked that it was quite evident witness did not know how long it would take to swing round.
Witness-I had been to Hongkong and back, once on the Quantai, but had not 'been on any naval manœuvres with her.
His Lordship thought it right to intimate the impression made on the expert minds of the
Assessors and suggested that it was not worth while to continue this line of evidence. Mr. White Cooper was, he said, really cross- examining his own witness,
Witness-Our bowsprit is 20 feet long. I left the Quangtai after the collision at 1.30 am. in one of the Empress's boats. The Empress was then lying about a mile off. The effect of the collision was not to take the way off the Quang tai, which drifted, however, some distance, Seoul, 4th November. though I do not know which way.
