HARBOUR COLLISION
KAKARIKI AND CARADALE CLAIM AND COUNTER-CLAIM FOR DAMAGES MELBOURNE, June 22. The hearing of the Union Company's claim for £50,000 in connection with the collision of the Kakariki and the Caradale in Port Philip on January 29 began in the High Court yesterday. The defendants are "the ship Caradale and her freight cargo." The defendants counter-claimed £25,000. The collision resulted in the sinking of the Kakariki and the loss of five lives. The plaintiff claims that the Kakariki was navigated properly with regard to safety, and that the Caradale neglected to keep a proper look-out, failed to give warning of her change of course, and failed to stop or reverse when a collision must have been apparent. The defendants deny that the collision was caused, and contributed to, by negligence and improper navigation of the Caradale, and say the collision was caused solely by the negligent navigation of the Kakariki, which, having become the crossing vessel, failed to keep out of the way of the Caradale.
