The Bidding.

North and South were vulner- able-East and West not vulner- South bid one heart, West able. bid two clubs, North jumped the bid to four hearts. Enat then went to five clubs trying for a sacrifice bid. When one side is vulnerable and the other side not vulnerable, the non-vulnerable side can take a penalty of four tricks doabled and be minus leas on the hand than they would by allowing their opponents to go game. South passed. West passed, and North bid five diamonds. East passed and South went to ,five hearts which bought the contract nt this table.

أو

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

The Play.

At this table, the king of clubs was tel, and when the singleton club showed up in dummy. West shifted to his singleton deuce of diamonds which the declarer won with the eight spot. The king of honrts was then led, followed by the dence 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 is dummy and ruff a club in dummy. This gave him five odd for a pius score of 650, so you can see that even the six clubs doubled and down 400 was a good sacrifice bld.

COURT OF ENQUIRY INTO COLLISION.

TAI LEE'S MASTER FOUND TO BE AT FAULT

A Marine Court of Inquiry into the collision between the 8.8. Tai Lee and the 8.8. Yuct On which occurred on November 18 at about 7.25 p.m. near Kiau Light, was held yesterday at the Harbour Office.

When the Court resumed in the afternoon the evidence of the quartermaster of the Yuet On was taken and be cororborated what the Captain and the Chief Officer had aaid. The Court then ndjourned following and brought in the verdict:

"We find that the s.8. Tal Lee of which Mr. John Mitchell was Muster was proceeding on a voyage from Kongmoon to Hongkong on After the 10th, November 1932, passing Ki Au Light she overhaul- ed the Chinese 8.8. Yuct On and at about 7.20 p.m., she attempted to pass 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 Yuet On was 10 knots and that of the Tai Leo about 11 knots.

"We find that Yuet On made no alteration of course to starboard and maintained her speed, but that the Tal Lee having attained a post- tion about 1 or 1% points before the starboard beam of the Yuet On altered her course to port in order to cross ahead of the Yuct On and that at about 7.28 p.m. a collision became imminent. The Chief Off- cer of the Yuet On who was then in charge of the bridge caused the helm of the Yuet On to be put hard astarboard and the engines to full astern in order to avoid collision, but that owing to the closeness at drag that time of the Tai Loe a was exerted on the bows of the Yuet On which caused her to refuse to amwer her helm and dragged her bows 1 point to starboard, thus bringing her into collision with the port quarter of the Tal Lee.

"We find that the Master of the Tai Leo was at fault in that he at- tempted to cross the bows of the Yuet On before establishing a nulli- cient overlap, and wo therefore ad- Judge Mr. John Miteboll to bo severely reprimanded.”.
