Tho Court of Enquiry into tne collision between the Nortnern Company's stoanier Clansman and the scow Pahiki, owne4 by McCallum Bros., as a result of which the scow 6ank in the Auckland harbour, found that the Clansman was not an overtaking vessel; that tho collision was duo to the neglect ot the second officer of the steamer, Carl Brink, to keep a sharp look-out; that the failure of the scow to show a flareup light was an error of judgment and not. a wrongful default; and that, as tho chief officer of the Clansman was not at his post at the time of *the collision, ho could not bo cited as a party. No doubt the Northern Company would take such action as it thought proper in regard to his disobedience* of the regulations.
