THE COLLISION ENQUIRY.
(By Telegraph.) Ar/CKCAND, February 25. The enquiry into the collision was resumed to-day. Mr Kent, the second officer of the Albion, deposed that before he left the deck at four o'clock he saw two small coasters. After the collision the lights of the Isabella Pratt were certainly not burning. The Court said they were satisfied that the Albion's lights w r ere all right. The engineer stated the order to stop the Albion was immediately obeyed, but there was not time to reverse the engines before the collision occurred. The steamer's funnel was smitting dense smoke. Johnston, a seaman on the look-out, said about eight minutes after he went on the watch he saw a schooner coming np to their bow on the starboard side, apparently only twenty yards distant. The smoke prevented him seeing it before. He did not see any lights. The enquiry is proceeding.
