THE GRACE DENT NAUTICAL • INQUIRY. The nautical inquiry into the wreck of the schooner Grace Dent on the Wanganui Bar was concluded on March 9th. The decision stated that the magistrate aud the nautical assessor were satisfied that the schooner was in a perfectly seaworthy condition. The evidence showed that the wreck was caused by the grossly reckless navigation of the master in taking the bar when not signalled to do so, when he had been expected to put to sea, and when he was aware that his vessel drew 8 feet 6 inches, and that there was not over 7 feet on the bar. The conduct of the mate was of a negative character (the master accepting the sole responsibility), and while admitting th&mate did not act as one would expect a smart officer to act, the Court was of opinion that he could not be held responsible for the wreck, and his certificate would not be interfered with. The master's certificat* as master would be suspended for 12 months, but His Excellency the Governor is recommended to grant him . a certificate as mate during such suspension. The master was ordered to pay the whole costs of the inquiry, amounting to £4 17s. THE lONIC.
