THE KAKANUI ENQUIRY.
FINDING OF THE COURT.
(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
■Dcnedin, April 21
The Court of Enquiry find the XCakanui was caught la a terrible gale on 4th January, which seems to have partaken of the nature of a cyclone, and as she has been neither seen nor beard of dace, in all probability she foundered during that gale, a fate that might have happened to a vessel of any size. The evidence ehowed clearly that the men and women at the Macqnarries on the arrival of the Kakauui were not in a destitute eon. dition or suffering from want cf food, and never bad been. The men undoubtedly suffered hardships from want of proper food, but were never absolutely in want. The danger that doubtless prompted the benevolent sot of sending the Kakauui gave them relief. The Court endorsed with full confidence Captain Belcher’s opinion as to the way the vessel was lost.
