The decision of Mr Brabant, S.M., in the Envy inquiry stated that the captain's conduct was praiseworthy i and seamanlike. There was no evidence to show that the Envy left Wellington in an unseaworthy state, or with her deck houses unsafe, it was just to the contrary. The evidence of Captain Clayton, Lloyd's surveyor, together with the fact that the vessel was seven days exposed to an exceptionally heavy gale, proved her to be seaworthy. No blame whatever was attachable to the master.
