IMPORTANT TO MASTERS OF THE UNION COMPANY'S BOATS.
Dunedin, This day. _ The directors of the Union Steamship Company, after carefully considering all the circumstances attending the recent stranding of the Rotomahana, and taking into account the favorable finding of tho Court of Inquiry and the immunity from accidents enjoyed by Captain Carey during the lengthened period he has commanded the company's steamers, have to re-instate him in his position in the service. They have, however, issued a circular to their masters, notifying that they wish it to be clearly understood that they regard it as a master's first duty to consider the safety cfthe valuable ship and lives under his aharge, and that they have therefore resolved that in any future case of stranding the responsibility will be thrown entirely upon the master, and he will not be re-instated in the service unless the accident is proved to have occurred under such exceptional circumstances as exonerate him from blamo.
