THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF SHIPOWNERS.
Press Association. Electric Telegraph Oopyright,
t> t „ « Auckland, July 13, Parker and Casey, owners of the tuff Akaroa, were fined £10 and coats for neglecting to provide a lifeboat. The prosecution described the offence as a deliberate breach or the law, defendants having borrowed a fully equipped lifeboat to pass the survey. Subsequently the Akaroa proceeded to sea without a lifeboat, taking a boat used for rafting and quite unsuitable for life saving. A seaman lost overboard and, the Akaroa returning, the lifeboat was again borrowed. Defendants stated that the tug owners were petitioning the Minister of Marine to be relieved from providing the regulation lifeboat.
