In dealing editorially with the Pengnin wreck, after giving a general description of what happened, the "Post" says:— "We are certainly glad that tho responsibility of a decision does not rest with us, and in view of tho po?s;bility of an appeal, we do not even care to express an opinion. In the prolonging of his cruel suspense wrj'h the, appeal proceedings must involve, Captain Nay lor will have the sympathy of all his fellow-colonists, 'quite regardless of Uieir opinion on the meii'iH i>f the decision of thn court. Gne finding at least commands tlifir universal approval. a»i| tliat is the finding nf 'th» cm-onor'* jury, "that the inmlmt »f Captain Naylor, the olfimv. and nnv nf the Prnsruin all<T tlu vessel [-truck was in all inspects ailiiiitoMr." Captain Naylor certainly plajcd flic man cm that terrible occasion, and we fully expect to see his manhood take him bravely through 4he even more trymj ordeal in which he is still engaged."
