The vessel was got uuder weigh at 7.20 p.m., and at 7.35 p.m., when the time came for the order to be given to port the helm, the master had . collapsed in a fainting fit, and the vessel struck. It was a fine moonlight night with a smooth Bea. The chief officer went on to the bridge and found the captain unconscious. -The.lifeboat was lowered while the vessel was rolling on the reef, but, unfortunately, one of the passengers, Miss Reardon, in stepping from the steamer, fell into the water and was drowned. The steamer subsequently floated off, and was brought back to the anchorage, and it was decided to beach the steamer, as the pumps could not cope with the water she was making. She was floated of! on the 24th June. It was estimated that repairs would cost £12,000. The court found that the stranding of the Makambo was caused through the master losing control, and considered that he should be censured for not taking precautions for the safety of the ship, as he must have known from previous experience that he was liable to such attacks, and he should have required the second officer to be on the bridge with him from the time of loosing the moorings until she was clear of all danger. ,
