Some persons in Sydney think she struck on an iceberg, and that the passengers and crew in all probability are on the (Jrozel s. . The following is the award of the court of enquiry into the cause of the wreck of the Airedale The loss .of the s.s. Airedale was the result of natural causes, and is not in any way to be attributed to neglect, or carelessness, or incompetence on the part of her captain or any of his officers. We are further satisfied that when the accident had happened, everything was done that could be done to securejthe safety of the passengers, and preserve, as far as possible the cargo. We shall take care to report to the Government the praiseworthy conduct, in this respect, of the officers and crew. We have great pleasure in returning the certificates that have been handed in to us, and we can assure Captain Kennedy in particular, that Ids honored anil Respected name and character will not, and cannot in the least degree, be affected by the misfortune, the cause of which we have this day investigated.
