THE ARIADNE CASE.
b* i (PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.) J Christchurch, January 20. ' The Ariadne case came on to-day, when Kerry, Mumford, and Freke were charged with casting the vessel away. ' Captain Willis, Lloyds' surveyor at 1 Ljttelton, said he was sent by Lloyds j to inquire into the wreck of the Ariadne, ' and found her lying on her side on the -/ \ beach. He valued her at a maximum J of JE5.000. He saw a chart which ' Mumford marked at the nautical in- < quiry with the alleged proposed and the ] real courses. These, wituess explained, J showed that if Muinford's navigation s was honest, it was utterly careless and ' unsafe. Witness detailed Mumford's \ confeßßion, and his production of tho alleged agreement to wreck the yacht. j The Court then adjourned, Kerry and « Freke being admitted to bail.
