CERTIFICATE RETURNED
Waikouaiti’s Captain’s lirror of Judgment NO ORDER FOR COSTS (By Telegraph—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Dec. 22. Although the court found that Captain John Bruce, of the Waikouaiti, which was wrecked off Dog Island, three miles from Bluff on the night of November 28, had committed an error of judgment, it returned his certificate without endorsement, and did not order him to meet the costs of the inquiry. The actual finding of the court is as follows; — “The cause of the was that, after 8 p.m. on November 28, the master of the ship proceeded upon his course at the normal speed of 9J knots to 10 knots when fog and weather conditions rendered the Dog Island light and all neighbouring landmarks invisible, and when the vessel should not have proceeded; in so proceeding upon his course the master committed an error of judgment.”
