During that period, how many tankers have been alongside the whari?-Two.

You recall October 13. Why were native craft allowed to go. along- Bide the California-My business is not with the ship. All I'm concerned with is that the proper quality of off is received, etc.

Je it your business to take all precautions against fire anywhere near the installation?-It Is.

Now, you agree, don't you, that it is rather ridiculous for all these precautions to be taken in and around the Installation and then allow native craft, with their naked lights, to come alongside? -There are two Indian guards thero whose duty it is to keep away native craft and hawkers.

In answer to further questions, witness said he did not notice any sampans near the ship before the fire, although he saw them afterwards,

No Jurisdiction Over Ship. Questioned by Mr. Wadeaon, witness said he had no jurisdic- tion at all over the ship although she was lying alongside the wharf at Taun Wan. Only the captain had jurisdiction over the ship as In every other vessel.

Mr. Wadeson.-There are two Indian guards supplied by the. Police-YeR.

As far as the question of time Is concerned. I take it that you thought, rightly or wrongly, that the first thing you ought to do then was to put out the fire and not tell the Police? That's true. And that's what you did?--Yes, And you put it out?-Yes. The question of naked lights was put to you. Did you see any naked lights?--No.

Do you know if anybody else who did 7-No."

What were you doing when the! fire occurred?--I was up forward, having just finished gauging the No. 1 port malu tank.

In answer to further questions, witness said the California carried un American crew.

The Loading of Oil, Questioned by the foreman of the jury, witness said the fire on the ship was put out in five minutes.

Capt. H. H. Williams, master of the tug Honry Keswick, told the Court that he was ordered out to Tsun Wan about 1 p.m. on October 13 to tow the 8.8. California out of Tsun Wars Wharf. The pump- Ing operation had not been com- pleted when he arrived, berthed alongside the ship. About 2.20 p.m. his crow gave the alarm that there was a fire on the two sampans which wero moored alongside the tanker 50 feet natern of his ship. He looked aft and a big body of flames and
