NOT SUSTAINED
CHARGE OF FAILURE OF DUTY THE KAITUNA-SELJE COLLISION (Rec. April 80, 9 p.m.) Melbourne, April 80. The Marine Court decided that the charge of failure of duty against Cecil Vincent, third mate of the steamer Kaituna, which collided with the Selje on March 29, had not been sustained. [The Marine Court of Inquiry found the Kaituna to blame for the collision with the Norwegian steamer Selje, which was sunk, her master, Captain Sizer, and the third officer being held responsible. At the hearing of the charge against Vincent that he failed in his duty and disregarded the collision regulations, counsel for the defence raised the point that a passage in the finding of the Marine Court incorporated the statement of facts presented in this case, which dealt with the courses of the two ships, .and the effect was that one of them passed over dry land, inland from Cape Nelson.]
