However, at one table the West player Ansisted on the sacrifice and went to six clubs which was doubled. The six club contract was defented three tricks, giving East and West a minus score 400. At most of the tables, East and West were able to get away with five clubs doubled-only go- ing down two tricks for a minus scure of 200

The Play.

At this table, the king of clubs was led, and when the singleton club showed up in dummy, Vest shifted to his singleton deuce of diamonds which tha declarer won with the eight spot. The king of hearts was then led, followed by the deuce of hearts which was won in the dummy, with the ace, picking up the outstanding trump. All the declarer now had to do was to discard a losing spade on the fifth diamond in dummy and ruff a club in dummy. This gave hin five odd for a plus score of 650, so you can see that even the six clubs doubled and down 400 was a good sacrifice bid,

COURT OF ENQUIRY INTO COLLISION.

TAI LEE'S MASTER FOUND TO BE AT FAULT

A. Marine Court of Inquiry into the collision between the 8.9. Tai Leo and the s.s. Tuet On which occurred on November 18 at about 7.25 p.m. near Kinu Light, was held yesterday at the Harbour Office.

When the Court resumed in the afternoon the evidence of the quartermaster of the Yust On was taken and he cororborated what the Captain and the Chief Oficer had said. The Court then adjourned and brought in the following verdict:

"We find that the s.8. Tai Lee of which Mr. John Mitchell was Master was proceeding on a voyage from Kongmoon to Hongkong on the 10th. November 1932. After passing Ki Au Light she overhaul- ed the Chinese 8.8. Yuct On and at about 7.25 p.m., she attempted to pask starboard of the Yuet On at a distance of between 2 or 5 hundred yards, the course of the Yuct On being S. E. The speed of the Yuct On was 10 knots and that of the Tal Lea about 11 knots.

"We find that Yust On made no alteration of course to starboard and maintained her speed, but that the Tai Leo having attained a post- tion about 1 or 15 points before the starboard beam of the Yuct On altered her course to port in order to cross ahead of the Yuet On and that at about 7.28 p.m. a collision became Imminent. The Chief OM- cer of the Yuet On who was then in charge of the bridge caused the helm of the Yuet On to be put hard natarboard and the engines to full matern in order to avoid collision.

but that owing to the closeness at that time of the Tai Leo a drug was exerted on the bows of the Yust On which caused her to reuse to auswor her helm and dragged her bows I point to starboard, thus | bringing her into collision with the

port quarter of the Tai Loo.

"We find that the Master of the Tal Lee was at fault in that he at- tempted to cross the bows of the Yuet On before establishing a suff cient overlap, and we therefore ad- Judge Mr. John Mitchell to be soverely reprimanded.”
