"When there is a pOnflict of evidence between a- gyroscopic compass record of a vessel’s course and the testimony of witnesses on the oilier side, the lailer may prevail. “The gyroscope is not infallible and is liable on occasion In wander.” Accordingly Ihe House of Lords, by a vote of lliree to one of the law lords has dismissed'Hie appeal of (lie. Pulled States Shipping Foard, owner of j }-,p steamer American Merchant, from a judgment of the Court of Appeal, affirming a decree of Ihe Admiralty division, which award ed damages to Ihe. owners of I lie steamer Maiatim for a collision in Ihe Thames.

The, Mntfilim, was proceeding down the right side, of the Thomas channel; the American Merchant up the other side. The majority opinion stated i here was little reason to distrust I lie gyroscopic record, and suggested that possibly the course of the American Merchant -was in fact: such, as to reconcile the conflict in evidence. The appeal, however, could not lie allowed without; rejecting verbal testimony which the Lower Gourt accepted, but it was not: at all certain that the instnirnenl gave as untrustworthy an account, of itself as flint court believed. The collision occurred on March, 21, 192-1: The stem of the American Merchant cut into the Mntatun and. killed eight seamen who were in their bunks in Hie forecastle. The Mata tun was beached to save her from sinking, but the American Merchant was .not badly damaged, WEATHER REPORT.
