As previously advised by cable from Sydney the Court of Marine Enquiry into the col-i;-ion between the Union Company's steamer V capouri and the tug Gratitude found that tl n occurrence was caused by the default of Murdoch Hocknell Longmore, second mate of the Manapouri, in not keeping a proper and sufficient look-out. The Gratitude had rot ns required by a law, a second certificated officer. The court called upon Murdoch Hocknell Longraore to show cause on Monday wh" his certificate of competency as first mate of a foreign-going ship ihould not be cancelled or suspended, and one of to-day s caUles advises the suspension of Mr. Long- • piore's certificate of competency as chief of. "lis Ilonour, Mr. Justico Backhouse, said he 'accepted the position an d»alt with by the ;,,,, o nd officer, but assuming that he did come *o the conclusion, as he<Baid, that it was a \ciifil he was overtaking, he did not look Kitcr'it as closely as he ought to have done, and therefore did not sec the sidelight until he was right on top of the ship. As regarda the .-.delights, there was not much evidence, but it was possible these nere not of sumcieuO pojfer-ifi-liave feeen seen p.b the time,

tho masthead light was first seen. Tho court were- not satisfied altogether, but had a strong suspicion that the master of the tug was n "dummy," put there for the particular purpoiio of complying with tho provisions of the Act. II the court had born satisfied, as they should have been, they would have had no hesitation in catling upon him to show cause. A similar on so luul been dealt with in a master holding a ticket on a boat going out of tho Clarence. Tho court did not accept the story, too, by any one on board the tug. With regard to the master being absent froni tho wheel at the time of the collision, his Honour accepted that, and believed that the wheel was then in charge of nn uncertiflcated man, but his assessors advised him that, even If the master or a competent man had been there, they could not have done anything but -what they did do — go full speed ahead. They found that both boats were properly found, and expressed appreciation of the work of tho officers of both ships after the collision. NEW SHIRE LINERS. Messrs. Turnbull, Martin, and Co., proprietors of the well-known "Shire" liners in the. Federal-Houlder-Shiro fleet, have on the stocks a tine vessel nearing completion, and advice is now to hand to the effect that two more vessels of similar design have been ordered.
