The Amenor is of opinion si a seaman, and 1, 'as a judge, entirely concur, that the course of the Tal Os prior to overtaking as traced by Captain Walker is wholly, imaginary and that at the moment of overtaking there was no danger of collision and therefore that the reference to those cases which take, account of what has been termed "the agony of the mo ment are irrelevant. Captain Walker's own statements to questions which I put to him show that there was no "agany" but the ra verse, The Assessor is funker of opinion that the Kwonglung' did not during the material time storboard her helm nor that she did at any time port her helm, alia that the fact that the Kwongtung was in shoal water in the channel has mo material bearing on the colli sinn With regard to the Tai On, he is of opinion that she was sufficiently close to the Kwongtung in feel the effect of suction and that

baared her helm and endeavoured to crom ahead of the Tai On. The plaintiff has not proved all of his facts but has, however, proved are fact, that the Kwongtung altered her speed, Shein of all irrelevant anduntrue facto, and of the inevitable arguments based on them, what occurred, in our opinion, was simply this:
reason ог other; the passenger takes too tune's propeller and the counter-acting effect: much interest in the case. He could see what of her own vadidavo mwa lani, san`ata' the learned counsel, who was cross-examining the Kwongtung swinging to port was first the him, was driving at," though why I am at a blow on her quartier and afterwards the effect loss in understand, He was merely called de of the ebb tide I take it that the allegation bene esse to state what he saw hat to fence for In the 14th Paragraph of the Preliminary Act the counsel and what he says he saw was not that the Kwonglung did not keep to the star What Captain Walker saw norit horge outboard side of the channel means what is stated by any niher evidence. The chief pilnt's evid in Paragraph of the Petition that she star- sace also disagrees with that of the Captain theagh apparently agrees with that of the pissenger. But, on a little closer analysis, think his evidence is more in accord with what the allor Yuen and the assistant pilot said. When Yuen went,in fetch the assistant pilot, he says the Tai On'sgreen screen was opposite oor red screen" and when the assistant pilo! after he had been fetched got to the wheel. house the Tai On's stem was near our red screen." Now, clearly, what these two men saw happened after, the Kwongtung had gathered full weigh and when the Tai On was falling back, and, this is really the effect al what the chiel pile anys "The Tai On's stam was up in our wheelhouse" when he went out in look but he adds she got no further ahead "because we were full speed," The chief pilot aueht to know what he is talk-
The Tai On on her normal course overtook the Kwongtung and nearly passed her. The Kwongtung, in order not to be passed and to get to Canton in her proper berthing order, as creased her apred. Neither captain would kive way and a race ensued through the sar Tow, channel where events, in spite of Captain Walker's opinion that it was quite a normal state of affair, showed that it was dangerous for two ships in be alongside going at foll speed, the end of the race bring the collision.
