About how many?-About 900. The 900 passengers who came on board would put the vessel down about four and a half inches. Do you agree to that?-Yes.

I am not concerned with your difficulties. What I want to know ia whether you took any steps to stop them? Yes, I did.

You mean that as master of the ship you gave orders to stop the passengers from boarding the ves sel and yet 900 of them got on board? What time did you give your orders? At '8 ̃p.m.

After the Boarding Officers had been on board?--Yes,

His Worship remarked that he found the Tai Lec to have been overloaded and he therefore found Capt. Bousfield guilty of the charge brought against him He added that overloading was a very serious offence and he would take no excuses in a case like that. If at 5 p.m. Capt. Bousfield had tried his best to prevent passengers from boarding the vessel and had done his utmost to prevent the vesse! from being further over- loaded, he would have been at the most, culpably guilty, but as it was, he had made no attempt to prevent weight being added to the
