THE MANAPOURI AGROUND.
Captain Logan In Trouble.
[United Press Association.]
Melbourne, August 17.
It has transpired that on the last trip of the Manapouri to Melbourne she touched ground slightly during a dense fog near Gape Schanck. Captain Logan reported the matter to the Marine Board, and a I a meeting of the latter a motion was carried cautioning the captain to be more careful in the future. An amendment that a charge of misconduct be preferred against him waß negatived by the casting vote of the Chairman. It appears that the lead was never used. I
The vessel was placed in dock, but an examination proved that she bad sustained no damage. The Commissioner of Customs is n«t satisfied at the Board's decision, and is considering the propriety of ordering another investigation, the authorities thinking that the captain's conduct is deserving of more severe treatment than a caution.
