MARINE ENQUIRY.
STRANDING OF THE KOUTUNUi. Press Association. NAPIER, December 22. At the magisterial enquiry into the stranding of the s.s. Koutunui at Orete Point, it was found that the course set by the mate was too fine, and that the captain committed an error of judgment in not putting to sea, instead of continuing his voyage. The court found that all behaved with skill and courage, and, in view of this, decided that neither of the officers' certificates should be dealt with. The captain is to pay £6 16/6 —the costs of the enquiry.
