THE LATE COLLISION
RESULT OF THE INQUIRY
At half-past two to-day the Court of Inquiry gave its finding relative to the late collision off Sail Rock, as follows : —
That the collision was mainly caused by the neglect of captain and owner of the Enterprise, in not having proper lights ; that in the absence of rollocks and the state of the weather it was impossible to for the boat of the Enterprise to proceed to the help of the Tauranga; that the impression on the minds of the survivors was that the Tauranga had not foundered; that Captain Millis having no certificate there is no penalty within the power of this Court to inflict, and it was strongly urged that provision for proper supervision should be made in matters of the necessary lights. The decision of the Court was but partially concurred in by the Nautical Assessor, who declined to sign.
