Prasumably there was some confusion regarding the lights, buoys, and what not that mark the real way to Singapore. Even in broad daylight the most experienced skipper, might make an error hereabouts, and it is no bing much to marvel at that the Portuguese man-o-war should take a wrong turning on a dull and misty night.
