A NAUTICAL INQUIRY THAT FAILED.

* AUCKLAND, Jnly 18. The liantical investig&tKjin into tiHo question Of whether the steanfer Squall failed to go to the assistance of the Maritai whfen the latter broke her tail shaft on the Mahukau bur on June 2 had to bo abandoned, the (section Of the Seamen's Act under which the investigation wais ordered applying ohly to. New Zealand registered vessels, while the Squill is registered in Liverpool, though she .fe owned here. The Court had no jurisdiction, so that the duty of assisting distressed ships in New Zealand waters is imposed solely en New Zealand registered vessels. It ■was also pointed out that the regulations governing nautical courts were faulty, containing no provision for the notification of officers concerned of the daite aiid place of inquiry or the corSstrtuLion of the Court.
