CAPTAIN ATWOOD'S CASE.
(To the Editor.) Sir,—-I wish to giro tlmaaW to all my friends who have helped me to lift from myself the shadow left upon ma by the judgment of the Marine Court of Inquiry into toe ' Klingamite wreck long years ago. I have always believed myself innocent of the charges of careless navigation and negligence brought against me, and I take the liberty to think that those who know me did not attribute the sad loss of life to any lack of precaution on my part, bat the Court's finding did make me feel a condemned man m tiie eyes of the public The second inottlry, on the evidence of the old mistake in the charting of the Three Kings and other facts, has taken from my name the Mack mark which a verdict once set against it, and for this clearance I am happy to say that I owe to kind friends • debt beyond my power of payment. I may specially mention Captain Watson (secretary of the Mencnant Service Guild) and Mr. T. M. Wilford, who worked very energetically on my behalf. I also heartily thank the Press for assistance.—l ua, etc, E. B. ATWOOD,
