RIVAL WHALERS.
PARTIES IN COLLISION. NAUTICAL COURT’S FINDING. (BY TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION .j BLENHEIM, Nov. 4. The judgment- of the Nautical Court of Inquiry into two collisions by rival whaling launches, commanded respectively by E. C. Perano and his brother J. A. Perano, finds that E. C. Perano was guilty of careless navigation in both cases. The judgment states that whaling) in itself was .sufficiently exciting and hazardous without additional fisks, due to an endeavour by one party to beat the other. It recommends the Maritime Department to amend the_ rules of navigation in order to provide that where a launch is fast to a whale, the other craft shall not approach to within a quarter of a mile until the whale is secured. E. C. Perano was ordered to pay £25 towards the cost of the inquiry.
