I The following letteT from Captain At-; wood to a southern exchange speaks for itself:— "I wish to give thank 3 to all my friends who have helped me to lift from myself the shadow left upon me by the judgment of the Marine Court of Enquiry into the Elingamite wreck long years ago. I have always believed myself innocent of the charges of careless navigation and negligence brought against me, and I take the liberty to think that those who know me did not attribute the sad loss of life to any lack of precaution on my part, but the Court's finding did make me feel a condemned man in the eyes of the public. The second enquiry ! on the evidence of the old mistake in the charting of the Three Kings and | other facts has taken from my name the black mark which a verdict once set against it, and for this clearance I am ' happy to say that I owe to kind friends a debt beyond any power of payment. I | may specially mention Captain Watson (secretary of the Merchant Service Guild) and Mr. T. M. Wilford, who worked very energetically on my behalf. I also heartily thank the Press for assistance.—l am, etc., E. B. Atwood."
