LADVERTISEMENT.
THE RHYL STEAMER LION.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES.
SIR,-Our attention has this day been called to a pail;
graph in the Northern Daily Times, of the 27th instant'
charging the officers of the steamer Lion, trading between
Liverpool and Rhyl, with "shameful conduct, in attenli
ing to cross the bows of the. Sea King, while both, vessels
were in a narrow channel, on the 21st instant."
Had the ladies and gentlemen who appended their
names to the statement we refer to been better se'
quainted with the rule laid down for one steamer
passing another in a narrow channel, they would
have censured the officers of the Sea King for the (*Rising
that took place, rather than those who were in charge of tlie
Lion. That the latter vessel crossed the bows of the Se!'
Xing, the master of the Lion emphatically denies, and 10 statement is supported by the testimony of several seafaring: men who were, passengers on board at the time. The Lion
was pursuing her way to Rhyl, with a heavy cargo on bon-T.(11
which retarded her progress, and was holding her cour°`
steadily through the Rock Channel, when the Sea King over:
taking her, passed so close as to strike the Lion on the
stn_r
board-quarter, and damage a portion of the. rail. Fromm
having the advantage in speed, the Sea King cotd
readily have kept sufficiently clear to avoid b a col:
lision ; but if the Lion had attempted to steer to the other
side of the channel, the movement would certainly have
appeared to indicate a wish 'to cross the bows of the Sea
King. We may add that the Sea King is 150 horse:
power, whereas the Lion is only 80 ; and to avoid the
possibility of such collisions, the owners of the Lion 110'
endeavoured to make the time of sailing of their steamer
different from that of the Sea King, but without success, °
the hours of sailing are published by them, and O*W
adopted by the owners of the latter vessel.--,We are; sir'
your obedient servants,

NArma, SA.VI/i, DAVIES, and Co
