NEW PLYMOUTH.
This day.
The Rangatira wreck enquiry continued. After the hearing of tho evidence, the Court said there was no blame to be attached to the engineer or the second officer, but that the master was culpable in not having kept a look-out and neglecting to use the log, but the negligence was not sufficient to warrant suspending his certificate. The chief officer was most to blame, and they considered him guilty of gross carelessness, as he must have seen, not only the New Plymouth light, but the light of the Hinemoa, then laying in the roadstead. Tho chief officer's certificate was ordered to be suspended for six months.
